The maverick "Akbar Mohamadi" passed away, on July 30, 2006, in the infamous Evin Prison located in Tehran.
Mohamadi was arrested in connection to the 1999 Students Uprising and was, often, subjected to harsh tortures. Condemned to death, in September 1999, his sentence was commuted to 15 years of imprisonment following International pressures on the Islamic regime.
Despite his poor physical conditions, he undertook a hunger strike which will lead to his death on Sunday night. His guards are believed to have been able to save his life, but apparently, they preferred adopting a coward position in order to let Akbar die and, by this way, to let his initial sentence of execution to become effective.
The well known human rights activist never abdicated from his principles and humanistic believes, despite all pressures exerted by the Islamic republic regime, and he always stood for the cause of freedom in Iran.
Mohamadi's last words, toward his guards, have been reported as being that "he'll see the day that all Evins of Iran, will be transformed into parks that they will become the symbol of a new peaceful Iran freed of tyranny".
SMCCDI and its members are, hereby, expressing their deepest condolences to Akbar Mohamadi's family and especially to Manouchehr - his imprisoned brother-, his fellow student comrades, the Iranian People and to the World's freedom lovers.
May he rest in peace and may his path be consistent!

Akbar Mohamadi va a far parte delle stelle della libertà
Akbar Mohamadi è morto lo scorso 30 Luglio nella prigione di Evin, nei pressi di Teheran.
Mohamadi era arrestato in seguito alle proteste studentesche del 1999 ed era stato spesso vittima di tortura in carcere. Condannato a morte nel settembre 1999, la sentenza fu tramutata poi a 15 anni di carcere dopo le proteste internazionali.
Nonostante le sue già precarie condizioni di salute, aveva deciso di iniziare uno sciopero della fame che poi lo ha portato alla morte domenica notte.
L'attivista non rinunciò mai ai suoi ideali umanisti, nonostante le forti pressioni da parte del regime islamico.
Pare che le sue ultime parole dette alle guardie carcerarie siano state "vedrò il giorno in cui tutte le prigioni come questa diverranno parchi in cui si festeggerà la libertà dell'Iran".
SMCCDI ed i suoi membri esprimono le più vive condoglianze alle sua famiglia, a suo fratello Manouchehr (anche lui in prigione) , ai suoi ex compagni di università, al popolo iraniano ed agli amanti della libertà dovunque essi siano.
Riposa in pace e che il tuo esempio possa essere seguito!
