A trail made with warm blood, a weak cry of anguish. A path colorfully tainted with the blood of the brave. In this ravaged land of sadness, Where the ugly owl roves, Evil has replaced goodness, and the hands of the brave are bound. Let us clear this dark trail with the chimes of our hearts. Let us put aside our sorrows and wash the tombstones of our companions with our own blood. Let us sing the song of life in the path of freedom in Iran. It happened on Hedayat Street The Forouhars' house, November 23, 1998 Compiled by Fariba Amini November 22, 2002 The Iranian Four years ago, secular nationalist activists Dariush and Parvaneh Forouhar were murdered in their house in Tehran by agents of the Islamic Republic's Intelligence Ministry. Martin Cohn of the Toronto Star visited the couple a few months before their murder. He wrote, Dariush Forouhar "wanted people abroad to know about his work documenting violations of human rights inside Iran's borders. For that reason, he would have wanted the world to know about his death -- if only his fellow Iranians to continue the struggle for democracy." These photographs were taken from the Forouhars' home on Hedayat Street soon after they were murdered. * Ransacked room (1) * Ransacked room (2) * The office * Belongings: Mossadegh (1) * Belongings: Mossadegh (2) * The bed * Dariush Forouhar in his grave * Dariush Forouhar * Dariush and Parvaneh Forouhar Email your comments for The Iranian letters section Send an email to Fariba Amini ALSO By Fariba Amini Features in iranian.com RELATED For people & country Interview with Arash Forouhar By Fariba Amini Truth & justice Interview with Arash Forouhar By Haleh Vaziri One day poetry By Parvaneh Forouhar In the name of the pen News archive created after the Forouhar murders Rights in iranian.com Opinion in iranian.com Interviews in iranian.com Book of the day amazon.com Small Media, Big Revolution Communication, Culture, and the Iranian Revolution
