HRANA News Agency – One of the fellow inmates of the six prisoners who were executed on Wednesday, March 4th, wrote a memoir about the last hours before execution of these prisoners as well as their charges and imprisonment situations for public enlightenment. He wrote “I would like to write a few sentences for my countrymen who may unjustly criticize us without proper reasoning. Hamed Ahmadi was not a member of Al-Qaeda. I am not a member of Al-Qaeda. We have emphasized many times and will do more: we are not providing moral and material support to al-Qaeda or other similar organizations. We are not an armed group. We did not commit any crime. If we were member of Al-Quada, we could have been easily exchanged with the members of the Revolutionary Guard and Basij. We are Shafei. Our only crime is our faith and religion, which are completely legal and peaceful. We, Sunnis, have paid high cost for peacefully defending our belief. Hamed Ahmadi also sacrificed his life in the same way.”
