In a bold and heartfelt statement, a group of grieving mothers from Kurdistan has publicly announced their boycott of the upcoming sham presidential elections in Iran. These mothers, known for their relentless pursuit of justice, have accused the regime’s candidates of being responsible for and complicit in the government’s crimes and killings.
Boycott of the Sham Presidential Elections
The mothers have declared their decision to boycott what they describe as the “theatrical presidential elections” in Iran. They view participation in these elections as a betrayal of their quest for justice.
Condemnation of the Regime
The statement explicitly condemns the Iranian regime, holding it accountable for the widespread execution and direct shooting of young men and women. The mothers assert that thousands of families have been plunged into mourning due to these actions over the recent years.
Demand for Justice
Central to their declaration is the unwavering demand for the trial and punishment of those responsible for the deaths of their children. The mothers vow to continue their fight for justice until those guilty of these crimes are held accountable.
Rejection of the Candidates
The group denounces the regime’s candidates, accusing them of being complicit in the regime’s atrocities. They criticize these candidates for speaking about freedom and improvement in the current situation while being directly involved in the crimes.
Solidarity and Persistence
Emphasizing their resolve, the mothers state that they will not cease their pursuit of justice until their demands are met. They also call upon the people of Kurdistan and freedom-loving Iranians to join their boycott of the elections.
Endorsement of the Justice-Seeking Movement
The statement concludes with a strong endorsement of the justice-seeking movement, underscoring their collective commitment to continue their struggle against the injustices perpetrated by the regime.
The statement signed by 24 families of victims who lost their lives at the hands of the clerical regime, serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice in Iran. The grieving mothers of Kurdistan are among millions of Iranians who have boycotted the regime’s fraudulent election and will not participate in it.
Full Text of the Statement:
“To the honorable people of Kurdistan and the freedom-loving people of Iran,
As a collective of grieving and justice-seeking mothers, we will boycott the theatrical presidential elections of Iran. In recent years, the ruling regime in Iran has mourned thousands of families with executions and direct shootings. Thousands of our young sons and daughters have been executed and shot in the streets for protesting inequality, unemployment, oppression, and lack of freedom. Yet, on the eve of these sham elections, the regime’s candidates, who are themselves responsible for and partners in these crimes, speak of freedom and improving the current situation.
As the grieving mothers of Kurdistan, we will not abandon our quest for justice until we achieve our right to prosecute and punish the criminals who unjustly executed and shot our children. We condemn the ruling regime in Iran as a whole and will not participate in any so-called theatrical elections.
Long live the justice movement,
The grieving mothers of Kurdistan“
