Akbar Ganji


This is Akbar Ganji, an Iranian political prisoner, just released from prison after six long years!
What did he do?
Did he rub any bank?
No.
Did he damage anyone's property?
No.
He had a pen and he wrote, and wrote, and wrote.
His story should be told and retold.
Some Iranians claim that Akbar " was" one of them! but, the fact of the matter is, if he remained one of them, he would not have been jailed for six long years! He would not have been tortured. By a good guess, he is about half his weight, a very long hunger strike while in prison, had almost killed him. But, it is good to see him alive, and it is good to see him free. It is encouraging that after all these years, to see him full of life. I wish you Mr Ganji all the best for the future and I wish you and your family, a very happy New Year! Welcome back, nice to see you Sir!
