Three women political prisoners have written to the people of Iran:
Greetings to our defiant people
We, the women political prisoners of Evin, condemn the destructive war waged by capitalist governments against all people. They are after only their own interests in securing their power through warmongering. This war brings nothing for people except destruction. People who have not caused these wars would be the main victims. We know that the people of Iran and the rest
of the world do not want war. That is because wars are imposed by governments to destroy, kill and repress human life.
We political prisoners are hostages of the regime in Iran. We are behind bars without the right to defend ourselves. Despite the unique circumstances imposed on us, it is for you that we worry, the dear freedom seeking people of Iran, from the bottom of our hearts.
We demand an end to the war that has been imposed on our people as soon as possible. We are asking you, the people, to demand an end to the war with your collective power.
