.. Revenge is not justice ..
"Parastou Forouhar" is an Iranian writer, artist, and human rights activist, and one of the opponents of Iran’s oppressive regime. Her parents, Dariush and Parvaneh Forouhar, were both politicians and civil rights activists during the early days of the Iranian Revolution. They were murdered in their own home by Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence —a case that later became known as the "Chain Murders of Iran," a series of killings targeting intellectuals and artists who opposed the government.
After her parents' murder, Parastou and her younger brother were forced to flee to Germany, where she still lives today. She’s now one of the most well-known Iranian human rights activists.
During the recent Iran-Israel war, she protested the German government’s support for Israel’s attack on Iran and even filed a complaint. She said that supporting war without even mentioning the protection of civilians is a betrayal of the Iranian people, who’ve already suffered for years under their own oppressive regime.
Despite all the cruelty the Iranian regime has inflicted on her and her family, she wrote:
"Revenge is not justice. We must avoid violence." 4 replies
