A Window to the Fatherland – Wednesday 7 August 2019
We begin tonight’s edition of A Window to the Fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from the book of his collected works.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
We did mention that the Iranian month of Amordad is a significant month in ournational calendar as it coincides with the anniversary of the Constitution Revolution of 1905.
However, it is also a sad reminder of how the current tyrannical and corrupt regime in Iran has murdered, executed and slaughtered so many of our people who daredoppose its rule during this month.
One of these victims has been the late Dr. Shapoor Bakhtiar, who as Dr. Amouzagar (one of his ministers) ha said, millions of Iranians now look upon him as a man who single handedly stood up against one dictatorial regime and gave his life for Iran and the Iranians.
Another crime of the regime was committed by a professional assassin, Akbar Khosh Kooshk, who entered Germany with the sole mission of murdering Fereydoun Farokhzad, the popular Iranian entertainer and showman.
I interviewed Farokhzad before his death who spoke about his own tragedies inlife of dealing with his disabled child, losing his great poet sister Forough and how he had left his loving mum to come and live in exile.
The regime had sent a message to Farokhzad that he is free to come back to Iran and look after his sick mother but it was all a plot to lure him into meeting with Khosh Kooshk who then murdered him at his home.
The regime also killed the son of Reza Fazeli by bombing his shop in London, where he was selling a videotape of a satirical play that criticized the regime.
In the second part of tonight’s program we will look at this year’s hajj and the latest news of Iran and the Middle East.
