Courage is the Art of loving the "One thing beside Your Self" and creating a new value by paying the price to preserve it.

25 May 2007- Evin Prison

Torturer (Famous as the notorious Zarghami): You will never get out of here; no one will hear your voice except these walls. Now tell me who is the Hypocrite? When you went to Ashraf City, did you see the Hypocrites?
The young Houd, with much confident only replied: "What I saw in Ashraf were the Mojahedin (saviors of the people) and not hypocrites (a label created by Ayatollah Khomeini to deface its opposition the PMOI)
A thrust of batons and punches awaited young Houd as he knew very well the consequences of not insulting the PMOI. He was resolved to not weald to what his torturer expected and not let them use him against another.

Houd has been in solitary confinement for the past 9 months and is in a devastating physical condition. Some former cell mates contested he was vomiting blood but was extremely cheerful as usual and insisted that there is a voice out of these walls that would echo his will for "truth and the rule of the Law".


The mullahs’ regime judiciary on Sunday, August30, sought a death sentence for Mr. Hamed Yazarloo, 28, a Air and Space expert who is currently a political prisoner, for “waging war on God.” During the mock-trial, which was presided by Mohammad Moghise, Hamed Yazarloo was accused of taking part in mountain climbing, indoor football games, and family gatherings, and gathering news and information about political prisoners, including about his brother Hood Yazarloo, attending events in Hosseinieh Ershad religious institute in Tehran, establishing email contacts with his relatives in Camp Ashraf, taking part in student gatherings and protests, gathering a collection of speeches and events of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran and promoting the goals of the PMOI, and thus a death sentence was sought for him. Even Hamed’s father was not allowed to attend the mock-trial.

Mohammad Moghise, with a pseudonym of Nasserian, was the head of Evin prison at the time of the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988. He is one of the most brutal and despicable torturers of the regime and one of the main figures responsible for suppression of political prisoners.

Hamed Yazarloo was arrested on February 20, 2009 by agents of the notorious Ministry of Intelligence and Security. He was put in solitary confinement in Ward 209 of Evin Prison. He was subjected to physical and psychological torture there for 120 days. He continues to languish in Ward 209. His mother, Ms. Nazila Dashti, is being held in the women’s ward of Evin Prison. Hamed’s brother Hood, 21, is imprisoned in Ward 4 of Gohardasht Prison. Ms. Dashti and Hood were both sentenced to three years in prison for visiting their relatives in Ashraf.
