murder of Sattar Beheshti
35-year-old Iranian blogger, Sattar Beheshti was arrested in his home on October 30th, taken to police custody for publishing articles that was against the Islamic regime and spreading false information about the supreme leader. He was later interrogated by being hung from the ceiling and was severely tortured and beaten. He reportedly complained about bruises and broken bones to his cellmate and said that the prison authorities were planning to kill him.
one week before his death he signed complaint that he was torture and suffered multiple blows to the head, he wrote "I want to write that if anything happens to me, the police are responsible"
on November 6th the authorities told his family to ''collect his body''
Ever since Sattar’s death, his mother Gohar Eshghi, still in black, has not been silent despite the constant threats from the Iranian government towards her other children, she is still hopeful to one day bring justice for her son. She has written endless letter to the world’s authorities just to bring awareness and keep his son’s name alive. And after all these years thousands like Sattar has been arrested and murdered however the international community is as always silent and does not give the attention that these people deserve. Looking at everything that has happened in the past year, we can confidently conclude that widespread attention to injustice is easily gained. Journalist like me and mothers like Gohar Eshghi will never stop advocating for heroes like Sattar.
