This is a true story.

I was only nine. Because of the surgery on my broken left arm, I had to stay in hospital for two weeks. One day my mum told me she had met a mother of one of her students in the room next door. Every day, the lady came to visit her grandfather, who was hospitalized next door. My mum asked me if I would like to see that lady, as she had told my mum she was interested in visiting me. I said that is was fine, as I liked talking to someone else other than my mum.

She entered my room. I saw a cute lovely young lady, who was sweet and beautiful, but her beauty did not have the nature of sexual attraction, or at least that was how I viewed her (I was too evil for a nine-year-old boy anyway). She was full of life. You could probably say she was born with that smile on her face, the smile which I don't remember her being one moment without. Before starting usual cliché questions like 'how did you break your arm', 'what are you doing here' or 'what happens with your school’, she just pointed her finger at a book which my sister had given to me. 'Jane Eyre?' she asked. 'Wow, have you read that book ?' I answered no, not yet, actually I was interested in reading Wuthering heights by Emily Brontë but they did not let me take it from my sister's shelf, they said it was not for my age, I had a big quarrel with my sister, so when my arm broke, she bought this instead of Wuthering Heights. She told me it was written by Emily's sister, Charlotte. 'Would you like me to read it for you?' I said yes and she started to read Jane Eyre. Everyday she came to visit me and read a few pages of Jane Eyre. I never got interested in Jane Eyre but I got so interested in her.

Her name was Haleh. She was so kind, so sweet, so lovely. I left the hospital and I could not say farewell to her, as she came in the afternoon and I was leaving in the morning. Her grandfather had to stay some more days in hospital. I never met her again, but just heard from my mum that she asked about me. Yesterday I read in the news that they had released her only for two days from the Iranian prison Evin to be able to attend her father's funeral. Her father was one of the pioneers of the liberal Muslim party called 'Movement of Liberty'. He had experienced prison both in the shah's time and in the Islamic Republic, and he believed the Islamic one is truly a different story.

Today I read in the news that this morning, some official troops of the Islamic government had attacked the funeral ceremony of Haleh's father, Ezatollah Sahabi. She had tried to protect her father's corpse so they beat her till she died.

Yes she died, today, Haleh Sahabi died just next to her father's corpse. And I think about how I stop hating them, even if I know very well that Haleh never could hate them.


 


An Iranian opposition activist has died after scuffles with security forces at her father’s funeral, the family says.

Haleh Sahabi, 55, had been allowed out of prison to attend the funeral of Ezatollah Sahabi, a former Iranian MP and prominent dissident. Her son, Yahya Shamekhi, said she had become upset after security officials tried to stop the ceremony and is thought to have had a heart attack.

The Iranian authorities have denied the reports. Funerals involving other opposition figures have also been broken up.

Three months ago, the funeral ceremony of Mir Esmaeil Mousavi, father of leading opposition figure Mir Hussein Mousavi, was halted, and two members of the Mousavi family were arrested.

Mr Shamekhi described what had happened at Ezatollah Sahabi’s funeral.

“When we took the body of my grandfather out for the funeral ceremony, officials tried to stop the ceremony – that made the atmosphere very agitated,” he said. “Finally they forcefully grabbed the body and took it away. Then my mother fell down and become unconscious. The doctor told us she died because of a heart attack.”

But Alireza Janeh, head of security at the Tehran governor’s office, said there were no clashes. Mr Janeh told the semi-official Isna news agency that Mrs Sahabi had died of heart problems exacerbated by “stress and hot weather”.

The funeral was attended by at least 2,000 people in the Lavasan area of Tehran despite reports of a heavy security presence in the area.

A mourner told the BBC: “Following the uprisings in the Middle East, the Iranian government is very nervous about people’s gatherings for any reasons, particularly if it is related to an opposition figure.”

Mrs Sahabi, a member of the “Mothers for Peace” group and a campaigner for women’s rights, was one of a group of government critics who were arrested in front of the parliament during President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s swearing-in ceremony. She was sentenced to two years in prison.

Ezatollah Sahabi was a member of the interim government installed after the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, which resigned in protest over the takeover of the US embassy in Tehran.

He died of stroke in a Tehran hospital on Monday at the age of 81.
