Iranians in Canada Set Up Memorial at US Embassy – Thank Americans who Sacrificed Their Lives in Fight Against Criminal Regime

Iranian people in Toronto, Canada thanked the Americans who gave their live so Iran could be free from one of the most brutal regimes in world history.

Iranians dropped off roses outside the US Embassy in Canada on Saturday in a gesture of gratitude to America and US soldiers stationed in the Middle East.

Ahmed Batebi wrote: “The gratitude of the Iranian people to the American soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the fight against the criminal ayatollahs and for the freedom of the Iranian nation.”

Here is more on Iranian activist Ahmed Batebi – many of you may have noticed his photo is posted at the top of the TGP home page.

Iranian student activist and dissident Ahmad Betebi was sentenced to death and severely tortured for years in the notorious Evin Prison in Iran. He escaped safely to the United States in late June.

During a break from prison, Batebi fled Iran traveling through a free Iraq to Austria and finally arriving in Washington DC.

Ahmad Batebi arrived in the United States after years of torture and imprisonment. Broke, weak and afraid, Batebi described his flight from Iran through a free Iraq to The New York Times today. He tells of the Iranian agents who followed his escape from Iran and he talks about the day in 1999 that made him famous. It is an unimaginable story of heartache and courage.
Here, Batebi talks about the brutality of the regime:

Mr. Batebi described 17 months in solitary confinement, including repeated torture by interrogators trying to force him to say on television that the famous T-shirt was stained with paint or animal blood.

His jailers thrashed him with a metal cable, beat his testicles and kicked in his teeth, he said. They held his face down in a pool of excrement. They tied his arms behind his back and hung him from the ceiling. At other times, strapping him to a chair, they kept him awake night after night, cutting him and rubbing salt into the wounds.

To stave off madness, he said, he fought back. “If the interrogator cursed me, I would curse him back,” he said. “If the interrogator hit me, I’d try to hit him back.”

What an incredible story.
