This is a letter written on behalf of our respected Sunni brother, Timor Naderi Zadeh, awaiting execution in Rajai Shahr prison, Karaj, Iran. The letter is from a trusted source, who can not be named due to security reasons.
(Original letter in Farsi at the end of this article)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful,
Timor Naderi Zadeh worked as a farmer. At the age of 45, on June 8, 2010, he was arrested whilst he was at work on his farm.
He was kept in solitary confinement in the Intelligence agencies in Sanandaj and Zanjan. Throughout this time, despite being under physical and mental torture, he did not give in to the interrogators demands to make a false 'confession'.
It is important to note, that Timor had two sons. The first, [Irfan Naderi Zadeh] who was born in 1991, was arrested when he was 19 years old. He is currently [with his father] in Rajai Shahr prison.
Whenever he sees his father, the son's heart is pained, but what can he do, he is also held captive by the Iranian regime.
And likewise, when the father [Timor] sees his son, he is grieved, as by now his son would have been in college, and the father would have loved to see him progress.
But, alas, the Iranian regime wants to destroy the youth of the Sunnis, and will never give permission for them to progress.
Additionally, Timor's son-in-law [Ibrahim Moradi] was killed by the Iranian regime, and after his death his child [called Abdul-Rahman] was born.
The boy never saw his father.
The only way the boy knows his grandfather is as a voice on the phone, when Timor calls and speaks to his grandson, Abdul-Rahman.
Abdul-Rahman, who is now four years old, [talks] with a sweet [innocent] tongue.
Abdul-Rahman, with his childish language and his childlike heart, has the thought that one day his grandfather will return.
When he speaks to his grandfather, he says, "When you return can you buy me a bike, and can you buy me a car, and can you buy me such and such.."
And with a desolate heart the grandfather replies, "okay, Abdul-Rahman my beloved, okay."
Abdul-Rahman is unaware of those who killed his father, and he has been deprived from paternal love. This time, the case of his grandfather has been decided, and the name of his grandfather has been drawn [like a lottery].
Abdul-Rahman has never met his father and did not have paternal love. This time, they [even] want to take the voice away that he only hears on the phone, as it is customary for them to disconnect the [Sunni] Muslim people.
Pray for Abdul-Rahman; Abdul-Rahman who has never seen his grandfather, Abdul-Rahman, who, for him, 'father' is a strange word, and if [he hears] someone calling their father he wonders who is his father.
Pray that Abdul-Rahman is at least not deprived from his grandfather's love, and to fill the vacancy left by his father.
This family is one of hundreds of traditional families that are being torn apart by the Iranian regime.
Timor Naderi Zadeh was sentenced to death in Iran, with two other Sunni men, after being accused of supporting Salafi groups - a 'crime' which the Iranian regime claims is 'Moharabeh' (enmity against God).
However, a source told HRA News Agency, "it is believed that [their] arrest and death sentence is because they were promoting [Sunni] Islam."
Actively spreading Sunni Islam can be dangerous in Iran, a Shia-ruled country, where ethnic and religious minorities face discrimination and persecution.
Many Sunni scholars and students of knowledge have been imprisoned and even executed after unfair trials using 'confessions' obtained through torture.
"He spent two months in solitary confinement in Sanandaj Intelligence Agency, and [also] spent 12 months in solitary confinement in the Information Administration in Zanjan," a source told HRA News Agency, "[he was] then transferred to Rajai Shahr prison."
The men are now awaiting execution in Rajai Shahr prison, Karaj.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
