Iranian heroines whose epic resistance saved Ashraf
NCRI - Womens committee - 6 March 2024 - in Women's News
<<Iranian heroines whose epic resistance saved Ashraf
One of the most courageous confrontations in the world's history of nationalist
wars and liberation movements took place on April 8, 2011, in Ashraf, Iraq, the
seat of the Iranian opposition movement at the time. Spearheaded by 1,000
Iranian heroines, the PMOI freedom fighters stood up to a column of ten armored,
infantry, mechanized brigades, and battalions of the Iraqi forces who attacked
Ashraf City at the behest of the Iranian regime to massacre all of its
defenseless residents, destroy the city and annihilate the opposition. The young
and old freedom fighters, women and men, were empty-handed without any shields.
Snipers targeted their heads and hearts. At least 22 people were run over by
armored vehicles. Residential units were shelled. Iraqi troops did not allow the
wounded to be taken to hospital. The shooting of heavy armored vehicles and
snipers continued incessantly for six hours. The plan was to massacre all the
residents of Ashraf. 180 people were shot directly. A number of hostages died in
captivity. Some 300 people were wounded.
In the history of nationalist and revolutionary wars, there never was an
instance where people stood, empty-handed without any shields, in front of
armored vehicles and armed forces of the enemy and yet succeeded in repelling
them. The attack was another link in the long chain of terrorist schemes,
blockades, and massacres of the Iranian opposition members carried out by
Tehran's puppet in Iraq, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. But Ashraf residents
stood firm and resolved to prevent the enemy from taking over the city, which
was the beating heart of the Iranian people's Resistance movement. Eight Iranian
heroines and 28 heroes were killed either by the Iraqi Army snipers or were run
over by armored vehicles. Hundreds more were seriously wounded, some by grenades
thrown to explode among them. The price was horrendous, but these Iranian
heroines and heroes managed to stop the enemy’s advancement and save Ashraf, the
Iranian people's bastion of freedom. They proved that they could overcome any
force by their amazing unity and steadfastness and by paying the dear price.
This was not only a military confrontation but a staunch defense of the most
sacred humane values inspiring people to fight for freedom and equality. In this
epic picture, there were eight Iranian heroines who fought and died at the
forefront of the confrontations but foiled a major conspiracy by the mullahs
through their sacrifice and courage. These women symbolized the resolve and
sincerity of a generation of women. These 1,000 Iranian heroines pioneered and
led the Iranian Resistance movement and comprise an unprecedented asset to the
Iranian people's 150-year history of struggle for freedom, an amazing force for
change. If and when they overcome the misogynous Godfathers of fundamentalism
and terrorism in Tehran, they will change the situation in Iran and have a great
impact on the war-torn Middle East and petrified Europe.
Here is a glance at the lives of the eight Iranian heroines slain during an epic
resistance on April 8, 2011:
Saba Haftbaradaran was born in a Tehran prison in 1982. Her father and mother
had been imprisoned for their opposition to the mullahs' regime.
Saba was 1.5 years old when she came out with her mother's release. After both
her parents were released from prison, they left the country and joined the
Iranian Resistance in the border region. She grew up in Ashraf and was sent
abroad to Germany when the Gulf war began in 1990 and children were in danger of
being killed in the massive bombardments of Iraq. Saba, however, did not forget
the suffering of her people. She said, <I cannot enjoy having the best life and
education in Germany, when I hear every day shocking news of women and children
suffering in my homeland.> So, she left Germany and went back to Ashraf in
1998.With the beginning of another war in Iraq in 2003, another testing time
began for Saba and for all the young women and men like her who were being
exposed to the difficulties of struggling against the mullahs’ regime in a
strange land. Of course, this generation remained steadfast in the stormy events
of post-war Iraq and under attacks from the Iraqi agents of the Iranian regime.
Saba was 29 when she was shot in the thigh and started bleeding heavily. Iraqi
forces impeded her treatment by delaying her transfer to the hospital.
Nevertheless, they did not allow Saba to receive blood from the blood bank, a
measure that led to her eventual loss of life.
Saba's last words were: <We will remain steadfast to the last breath.> And with
those words and her courageous endurance, she turned into the symbol of the epic
resistance on April 8, 2011, in Ashraf.
Shahnaz Pahlavani is another of the Iranian heroines slain on April 8, 2011. She
was born in 1961 in Ramhormouz, in southern Iran. She grew up and studied in
Isfahan in an orthodox Muslim family but did not like the practices of her
family. After the 1979 revolution in Iran, she found her ideals in opposition.
Still, she lost her contact with the PMOI after it was declared banned in the
country, and the PMOI supporters and sympathizers were mass executed and
massacred by the regime. In 2003, she found out that she could travel to Iraq
and join the movement, which was the happiest moment of her life. Shahnaz was
very grateful for finding the movement after years of separation. She was
willing to sacrifice anything for the good of others and the advancement of the
goals and objectives of the Resistance in Ashraf. On April 8, 2011, when Ashraf
was under attack, she volunteered to join the front line of men and women who
defended the city and was slain in the direct shootings of defenseless Ashraf
residents.
Mahdiyeh Madadzadeh was 29 when she joined the Resistance movement in Ashraf.
She had received her Bachelors of Science in Computer Software. She was very
dissatisfied with the situation and the ruling regime in Iran, and she found the
answer in the Resistance movement that was based in Ashraf. After going through
many difficulties, she overcame all the obstacles and joined the movement with
her sisters and brothers. Mahdiyeh was 32 when a sniper directly shot her. Her
brother, Akbar, was also ran over by an armored vehicle on April 8, 2011. Asiyeh
Rakhshani's parents, both PMOI activists, had to leave Iran to join the
Resistance. So, she never saw the homeland she loved so much. Her ancestors were
from Sistan and Baluchestan, and she loved her native land dearly and followed
up on their news. She joined the Resistance in 1999 and she was very devoted to
the cause. She was prepared to sacrifice from her own for the well-being of
others. She believed that the fate of her people in Iran is tied to the efforts
and resolve of the pioneers in Ashraf, including herself. Most recently, she was
into film production and helped document the events in Ashraf. So, on April 8,
2011, she was also filming the scenes of savagery and brutality of the Iraqi
forces, targeting and shooting the human chain of her friends and comrades who
were defending their city with their flesh and bone. Finally, she became a
target for the snipers at the age of 28.
Faezeh Rajabi was only 20 when she was shot in the neck by snipers after she
rushed to the front human chain to defend Ashraf. Faezeh's father was a
political prisoner of the clerical regime who was killed under vicious torture
in 2008 after seven years in prison. Faezeh went to Ashraf and joined the
Resistance after her father was slain. Nastaran Azimi was born in 1985 in
Tehran. She was a second-year student of Computer Sciences at Tehran's Poly
Technique University (Amir Kabir) when she was arrested and imprisoned for her
anti-government student activities. Prison strengthened her resolve to continue
her struggle against the regime. In 2006, she found out about the existence of
this hub of resistance against the regime. A subsequent visit to Ashraf
completely changed her life. Upon return to Iran, she was arrested and
imprisoned again. After coming out on bail, she started arranging for another
trip to Ashraf for good. In Ashraf, she was always in the first line of people
defending Ashraf during attacks. So was the case on April 8, 2011, when she was
targeted by sharp shooters and lost her prolific life at the age of 26.
Marzieh Pournaghi was 48 when she lost her life in the April 8 attack. She had
known the PMOI since she was a high school student in Iran. She was arrested and
imprisoned in 1983 when she was 18 for supporting the PMOI. She spent three
years in prison and lost contact with the movement. She received a Bachelor of
Science in Social Sciences Research. In 2007, she found out about Ashraf and
traveled there for a visit. Upon return to Iran, she was arrested and imprisoned
but later released on heavy bail. Then, she quickly left the country with her
husband and son in June 2008 to join the movement in Ashraf. Marzieh was very
popular for being very kind and humble, at the same time determined. Her son was
16 when he lost his mother. Fatemeh Massih was born in 1956 in the central
Iranian city of Yazd. Her family were religious but at the same time very much
against oppression of the mullahs. The clerical regime killed her aunt in the
early 1980s, her husband and five of their children, and her son-in-law.
So, Fatemeh had felt the regime's oppression with her flesh and bone. Fatemeh
used to say that it was her dream to find the PMOI and join them so that she
could struggle for the freedom of her country from the mullahs' clutches.
However, with the history of her family, it was very difficult for her to find a
way to leave the country. Finally, when she did so with her two daughters, it
was the happiest day of her life. These words are remembered when she said, <All
my life and existence is for my people, and I have vowed to continue the path of
those who gave their lives for freedom.>
She loved her sisters in Ashraf, and she worked hard day and night without
letting anyone find out about her efforts. She did not expect anything for
herself. On April 8, 2011, she was also one of those who had rushed to the front
line to defend Ashraf and help their wounded sisters and brothers.
With their sacrifices, these heroines saved Ashraf and impacted subsequent
developments, which opened the way for Iran's freedom. They will always be
remembered as heroines who hoisted the flag of freedom in the darkest days of
their country's history.>>
