Iranian Anarchist Musician Shahin Najafi Speaks About Acid Attacks On Women - UK Indymedia
*Warning - contains graphic descriptions of sexual violence & torture*
Here
then, is an amazing short speech by Iranian anarchist musician Shahin
Najafi, (who has millions of supporters inside Iran and overseas)
against Acid Attacks against brave Iranian women who refuse to wear the
Hijab / Islamic head-dress.
Shahin tells us:
"I have
received a message from an innocent girl in Iran who is living in
terrible fear of being attacked by the Islamic police!!
This reminds me of a famous expression:
'First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.'
We remained silent while Khomeini, so-called 'revolutionary' Islamic ruler massacred tens of thousands of progressive Iranians.
We stayed silent and did not react when they began the mass executions.
We stayed silent when they tore the bodies of innocent Kurds into pieces.
We
stayed silent, when they killed all the other brave nationalities in
Iran, like the Turks, the Balochs, the Arabs, the Turkmans, the Gilaks,
the Ashuri, the Armenians andthe Loristanis : We ALL stayed silent!
