H.E. Mr. António Guterres
Secretary-General of the United Nations
Your Excellency,
I am Hamael Ghanizadeh, the elderly mother of three children who are in the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) in Albania. My children Mehri, Nahid and Mahmoud Saadat have been mentally and physically imprisoned in the MKO for 33 years and we have not been allowed to meet or contact them (except for one time) during these past years.
Mr. Secretary General,
You just condemn such actions. Taliban kill people and you condemn. The people of Syria are being killed and you just condemn terrorists. The children of Yemen are massacred, you just condemn!
Condemning is of no use for us, the old parents who have not seen our children for years. What a Secretary General you are that you take no practical action for us! Our children are jailed in the hands of an oppressive dictatorship that isolates them under slavery and mandatory celibacy. We need your help, at least to be able to have a personal visit or a phone call. I have not heard the voice of me loved ones for years.
Mr. Secretary General,
Please think of us for just five minutes. Our only request is a private visit. If you have emotions, if you love your children, you might understand us.
Not only you should condemn but also you should pay attention to the grieves and sufferings of a mother, aiding me to visit my children.
I am looking forward for your response.
Sincerely Yours,
Hamael Ghanizadeh, 75 years old
Tabriz, Iran
