Political prisoner Atena Daemi sent a message out of Lakan Prison of Rasht rejecting the regime’s offer to her to ask for an amnesty. Defying the regime’s gesture, she said, "I believe that unconditional release is the right of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience."

Mr. Hossein Daemi, the father of political prisoner Atena Daemi, posted a tweet on May 21, 2021, containing her daughter’s message from prison.

Her letter reads: "Six of the best years of my life passed behind bars with much agony and torture because I stood up to criminals who have been pushing people towards poverty, jails, and death for 42 years. With utmost shamelessness, they tell me to write a request for amnesty to examine and set me free if they agree with it.

Mothers of the martyred protesters of the 2019 uprisings in Iran have joined together to campaign for the boycott of the June 18 sham elections in Iran. 

The mothers recorded a video in order to tell the people not to vote for the regime which so cruelly took the lives of their children as well as 1500 others who took part in the November 2019 nationwide protests.
