Ancient Nowruz, Iranian New Year, has already
come to Iran. Iranians celebrate their new year at the springtime when the
wintery cold and darkness goes away to give way to Iran’s season of growth and prosperity. The meaning of Nowruz
for Iranians goes beyond just a new year to a sort of national identity.
For more than a thousand years Nowruz has brought
sprite and happiness to the utmost corners of Iran and love and friendship
among its masses. This is why Political prisoners, although enchained in
Mullahs jails, show their hope for a free Iran by celebrating Nowruz in their
cells.
Mullahs’ animosity with Nowruz and happiness
could not stop political prisoners
celebrating Nowruz in their cells,
despite they know they have to pay the price
later when the guards will beat and torture them. This is rather a part
of their ongoing resistance against the illegitimate rulers of Iran who try to
eradicate Iranian traditions.
Political prisoners have sent their pictures celebrating
Nowruz, to their families.
Inmates in Tehran’s Gohar Dasht
Prison celebrate New Year.
Political Prisoners
congratulate each other for the New Year.
They, then, sing together Iranian
traditional songs.
And finally
they set up the traditional “7 Seen” table- seven comestibles that their names
begin with the letter s, each representing a sign of spring’s prosperity.
