Iranian Blogger & Political Prisoner Soheil Arabi
IRAN, 11 November 2017-- In response to the annual Reporters Without Borders Prize awarded to him, the Iranian political prisoner, Soheil Arabi, said in a letter: “No reward can make me happy unless together hand in hand we uproot the oppression and overthrow the oppressors.”
In part of the letter, this political prisoner currently detained in Ward 8 of Evin prison said: “When most media was in the hands of two factions that compete in censorship and conservatism, when some people were paid to promote illiteracy and superstition to deceive us, I decided to be an independent journalist, so that I could reflect all the truth without retouching and censorship.”
“The arrogant ruler and his subordinates, however, have the unimaginable fear of our understanding (the truth) and making others understand. They entertain us with myths and superstitions, and they are happy to put us to sleep in order to plunder our wealth and our land rest easy. Yes, awakening is like getting rid of tyrants, so they brutally suppress journalist citizens.”
