Mousavi Puts Forceful Statement Against Trial

Mousavi has released a forceful statement denouncing the show trial that is going on in Iran.

Mousavi highlights the fact that the regime is acting against Islam and pointing out that Muhammad "said that there is no blame on one who confesses after being tortured and there is no true confession made by one who is imprisoned or in chain and have been threatened." The entire statement points ou the hiopcrisy of this regime:


"They are claiming that the children of this Revolution have confessed to having ties with the foreigners and to conspiring for overthrowing the Islamic Republic, in a “trial” that was staged yesterday. I paid attention to the depth of their words and did not find such claims; rather I heard them telling their painful story with deep cry on what they went through during these past fifty days; broken men who would have confessed to anything else they we ordered to; truly what else they could have told other than the suffering they went through. They were saying that Mohsen Rohol-Amini was martyred because of a reason. They were saying that if they were not resisting for the past fifty days this show would have been staged many weeks ago. They were saying that whatever they were ordered to confess was not their true words.

The teeth of torturers and those who forcefully obtain confessions have reached the people’s bone to the point that now they dare to pick their victims from those who have great contributions to the country and the Islamic Republic in their resumes; and are threatening those who were among the founders of this revolution from the very beginning and had the most distinguished roles in its prosperity. Are you threatening those who were wishing to be martyred for the illuminating path of the Islamic Revolution to anything less than that? Or after taking the “Republic” part of the “Islamic Republic” to the slaughter-house now you are also targeting its “Islamic” part and its dignity with such disgraceful actions? The only certain judgment of the human conscience from witnessing such staged trials is the fall of morality and the discredit of their directors.

The scenes we saw and you saw, are nothing but sloppy preparations for the initiation of the tenth administration. They expect from a “trial” which all of its elements are forged to prove lack of forgery in the [recent] election. If you are not into forgery then show it by [at least] abiding to the apparent basics of a legal process. By a weak statement with irrelevant story, by referring to books that are bulkily discarded, by relying on reports from reporters that no one has ever heard their names, and by referring to [so called] confessions that traces of medieval tortures are apparent in them, they expect people to accept what? Haven’t they read that the great prophet [Mohammad] (peace be upon him) said that there is no blame on one who confesses after being tortured and there is no true confession made by one who is imprisoned or in chain and have been threatened (Al-Ghadir, sixth volume).

Our people are sympathizing with their sons who saw their faces after 50 days of having no news [about them]. Brothers! Don’t be sad. Beware that people understand your situation and know that saving your lives is more important than anything else. Soon the nation will witness the trial of those who committed these crimes and identify the interrogators and torturers who play with their lives and dignities like this."
