"The story of a little prince in the land of the mullahs reveals to us, without any maquillage, the human tragedy of millions of Iranians. " Ingrid Betancourt (Preface) Ahmad was young, fearless, and driven by the ideals of freedom, shared happiness and equality. Carried by the hope of one day making them known to his country and people, he faced the violence of the totalitarian regime of the mullahs, risking his life in a long and difficult struggle that took him to prison. Like him, many resistance fighters of all ages and conditions endured the tyranny of the Khomeini regime, and from an early age faced the darkness and suffering of prison. Thirty thousand of them died in 1988 in a massacre organized by the Iranian authorities. The vast majority of them were under 30 years of age; many had been detained since the age of 13 or 14. This book is dedicated to them: May these countless red roses of the Iranian people's resistance not be allowed to slip into oblivion.
