Tehran: This is such a heartbreaking story. A little girl named Mahna Ahmadi, just six years old, drew a picture of her dad being hanged. Can you imagine? She watched it happen, and it’s just so tragic.
Her crayon sketch shows her and her mom holding hands next to the gallows where her father, Hamed, was executed. It’s a chilling reminder of the harsh reality many families face in Iran.
Mahna’s dad is one of many who have been executed by the Iranian regime. The drawing was made while she waited to see him for the last time. It’s gut-wrenching to think about what she must have felt.
The picture was shared by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, and it really highlights the human cost of the regime’s actions. It’s been a bloody year, and families are being torn apart.
There’s also a letter from a political prisoner, Saeed Masouri, who’s been on death row for 25 years. He wrote about the psychological torture he’s endured and how Mahna’s drawing affected him deeply.
Saeed’s letter was smuggled out of prison, and he expressed his despair over the constant executions happening in Iran. He mentioned that they see an execution every four hours on average, which is just horrifying.
Last year, the regime ramped up executions, including those of women and children. Official records say over 1,000 people were executed, but the real number could be much higher since many deaths are kept secret.
It’s alarming to think that on New Year’s Day alone, at least 12 people were hanged. The regime seems to be getting more desperate, and it’s a sign of their weakness.
Behzad Naziri, a former political prisoner, pointed out that the surge in executions shows how scared the regime is of losing control. It’s a sad situation, and it’s hard to see how things will change.
