A message for women and mothers of Iran from Caspian Makan on the occasion of the passing of prince Alireza Pahlavi


Ever since the Islamic regime lay it's dark shadows on the land of Iran, the seeds of grief were planted in the hearts of all Iranians.With passing of each day they looted our resources one by one.As if many were mesmerized and were even giving away their most basic rights to the rulers. In return they would slowly forget how to smile. It has been more than thirty years that due to all the repression and crimes, and also due to complete incompetency during the war, we have all been hurt one way or another, resulting in tears and agony.Unfortunately throughout all this, the Pahlavi family who are the true servants of the people have met disloyalties and have been forgotten in an unjust silence.Throughout our contemporary history the Pahlavi clan have done the biggest service to our society in order to build a free land, richness in culture and national sovereignty. Although the Islamic regime has done it's best to portray these services as worthless, especially to the young, nevertheless after so many years they have not been able to wipe out the traces of the Pahlavis across the country.Reza Shah the Great and Mohammad-Reza Shah Pahlavi were able to turn the difficulties into miraculous progress in a short period of time. The father and the son tried sincerely to return people who had been beaten back by Arabs and other greedy enemies to their rightful position as proud Iranians. But unfortunately history showed once again that we exchanged this gift of freedom, science, respect and sovereignty with Islam and religion. We have sacrificed ourselves as well as our children in the illusion of a better future. We did not heed the words of Molana Rumi when advised us that the way to progress lies within us not with backwards laws of religion coming out of the minds of the con men. Others thought that the country needed to be destroyed so that their failed ideologies could be implemented.How ruthless we were when we forced out our father who had build this house for us. It didn't take long for his broken heart and teary eyes to succumb to death; A man who loved his country and the children of his country until his last breath.The Descendants of the ShahEach one of us owe it to Queen Farah Pahlavi who has had a big loving effect in the promotion of Iran's cultural position especially towards Iranian women's position in society. She has also witnessed disloyalties toward the Pahlavi family in disbelief in the past years. She took it to heart when Iranian children became victims of war and crimes. The Queen first lost her land and then her princess Leila and now prince Alireza. I must cry. We have all lost him. Have we asked ourselves what has been happening to us where our heritage is looted like this?In many countries even 50 year old historical items are carefully preserved. And I am amazed that we are destroying the remains of thousands of years of monarchy with our own hands.Unfortunately the loss of prince Alireza has delivered another blow to our proud heritage. It's clear that the responsibility for the death of Alireza, just like many other youngsters rests on the shoulders of the despised Islamic regime. Even after being away from Iran for 32 years, his dedication to the country was so intense that we can certainly claim that he died for his country.Prince Alireza was one of the four jewels left of this priceless gem and he left us in solace. His death is a message of awakening for Iranians. Many nationalists and many innocent youngsters in the aftermath of Iran's presidential election last year, including Neda who died bravely with her kind eyes have tried to teach us a lesson: there is no love above the love for one's country.They died and we feel their absence and we really need them. Let us not forget that the dead never need our sympathy.Queen Farah Pahlavi just like all other mourning mothers of our country has lost her son to the Islamic regime. Yet she is still looking up to the young to free the country from the occupiers and criminals.And to our brave girls, women and mothers: you are all God's gift on Earth and you sow good deeds on Earth. Therefore, now at the outset of the anniversary of the removal of Hejab by Reza Shah the Great (an act to promote women's participation in society) I would like to request all those who love the country, especially women and mothers to use the little time that is left to sympathize with Queen Farah Pahlavi who is a symbol of resistance and to rise up.You should all shout for freedom out of respect for the blood of Neda and Ashkan and the beautiful soul of Alireza and all those whose names will be remembered.
These are shouts of bravery.
Long live a free Iran
