Statement of Polytechnic Students’ Gathering in Protest of Mahsa Amini’s Murder
When the Guidance Patrol, as one of the most brutal governmental forces, commits the most heinous inhumane acts and the most corrupt leaders of the regime endorse it, the result is the same black shroud that is once again forcibly draped over the people.
The systematic and brutal murder of Mahsa Amini by the Guidance Patrol officers is a symbol of 44 years of oppression and savagery, which the current order has tied its existence and survival to, imposing a suffocating atmosphere on society.
The Law Enforcement of the Islamic Republic, which is nominally responsible for ensuring the safety of the people, has emerged as one of the most important arms of repression, violating fundamental rights and infringing on the lives and property of the people, depriving Iranian citizens of security and leading them to death.
Mahsa Amini is the latest victim of this force and a manifestation of the systematic violence of the fear patrols in the Islamic Republic. The tragic image of her being hospitalized in Kasra Hospital in Tehran is being published while signs of torture and beating by the police forces are evident on her body.
But as usual in the regime, none of the responsible institutions are accountable for their crimes. Instead, with an empire of lies and their dependent domestic media and international cronies who beg for scraps from the nation’s table, they start spreading false news and distorting the truth about this horrific crime.
The issue of mandatory hijab is now considered a red line for the government, and any resistance by the people against this ideological backwardness is met with the harshest forms of repression.
Mahsa Amini is not the first victim of these repressions, nor will she be the last. Sepideh Rashno is another victim of this issue, who was threatened by a regime affiliate and then sent to a detention center this summer.
She, who bravely stood against the threats of a morality enforcer supported by the murderers of the nation, was arrested by the servants of tyranny and forced to make a coerced confession on the disgraceful Islamic Republic’s state TV with a sorrowful and tortured face.
These slaves of darkness aimed to, in their view, instill an atmosphere of intimidation in society again, forcing the nation to obey the commands and orders of the backward and civilization-opposing rulers, unaware that the spirit of freedom and anti-tyranny of the Iranian nation will never bow to the messengers of terror and savagery.
Polytechnic students have never considered themselves separate from the people, and despite the desperate efforts of the regime’s foot soldiers to silence the university, they reflect the voice of the powerless, whether in Saqqez, Zayandehrud, Izeh, or Mahshahr, and regard every part of Iran and its people as beloved parts of their own body.
We, the Polytechnic students, as a small part of the great Iranian nation, stand in solidarity and support with our mourning and angry Kurdish brothers and sisters who have stood against the relentless barrage of bullets in Kurdistan. We know that one day the murderers of Mahsa and all the victims of the past four decades, who have built the foundations of their oppressive palace on the flood of the people’s blood, will be handed over to the justice of the nation.
