Ozra Nouri (Moezzi), the mother of slain PMOI member, Mohammad-Taghi Moezzi, and a long-time supporter of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), passed away at the age of 90 following an illness in the city of Qom.
Mother Ozra Nouri (Moezzi) was born in 1935. Since the early years following the 1979 anti-monarchical revolution, she dedicated her entire life, resources, and strength to supporting the cause of organized resistance against both the Shah’s dictatorship and the subsequent clerical tyranny.
For more than four decades, despite severe security pressures, advanced age, and illness, she remained steadfast in her conscious and unwavering support for the cause of freedom for the Iranian people until the final moments of her life.
In December 1981, her son Mohammad-Taghi Moezzi, was arrested at the age of 25 and executed by firing squad in Dizel-Abad Prison in Kermanshah. Despite the regime’s intimidation and threats following her son’s execution, Mother Moezzi never yielded. She regarded resistance as the only response to repression.
Her other son, Ali Moezzi, a political prisoner and supporter of the PMOI, has been repeatedly arrested and imprisoned since the 1980s. Throughout these years, despite illness and physical hardship, Mother Moezzi tirelessly searched prisons and torture centers of the Khomeini and Khamenei regime in pursuit of any news of her son.
Mother Moezzi was a supporter of the People’s Mojahedin Organization and maintained an unshakable belief in the overthrow of the Velayat-e Faqih regime and the realization of freedom for the Iranian people.
