Iran Press/ Iran News: In a letter to the American people, a group of professors from Iranian universities, elites, and cultural figures said that American citizens should open their eyes to the bitter reality that there is no place in the world where a human being has not been deprived of the right to life under the pressure of the US government.
The full text of the letter is as follows:
In the name of Allah, the most compassionate the most merciful,
Serving to the oppressed people of the United States of America,
Hello,
O the oppressed people of the various states of America! We heard your voice seeking justice against the authoritarian capitalism system of the U.S. The Iranians heard what the dictator in a calling ordered the governors when he ordered the National security guard to shoot at you, the people seeking dignity, thirsty for justice and the protesters against the violent system of capitalism.
O people of America! We saw, with a hateful larynx and tearful eyes, how the suppressor machine of capitalism put its mask of democracy aside, and brother Floyd demanded his the right of breath second by second and minute by minute and up to seven minutes, and they, however, deprived of this oppressed victim his certain right of life.
But now, by the simultaneous uprising zeal of the black and white brothers and all races in all states, we are witnessing the great social movement of breath, an all-encompassing and profound movement that pursues the most basic need of every alive creature to survive. Right of breathing, right of life, and right of being alive is what the U.S police refrains from so-called George Floyds and the same ninety-nine percent public movement.
Yes! we wish there were not artificial borders!
Then, according to the advice of the Holy Qur’an, the last divine book, you would see us along with you, the oppressed people of America, and accompanied with the white and black folk, we would start a long struggle to restrain the tyrants and save humanity trapped in the clutches of devils.
Yes! It is very unfortunate that the 21st-century man is still struggling for breathing, and that could be more deplorable when he has to be killed, by American army bullets, just for the sake of this natural right. But it is real, a bitter reality that the American people have to accept and campaign to change their destiny.
O the oppressed people of America! It's true that it is hard for you. You have seen the heartbreaking scene of the death of your compatriot, but know that millions of people around the world have been trying to breathe and make free their necks from the feet of American soldiers for many years so that plenty of them have died in this way. But no reporter conveyed those horrible scenes to the world!
If George Floyd's throat pressed under the American police's knees for seven minutes then he stopped breathing, nowadays, the larynx of millions of Palestinian men and women has been under the boots of the Zionists supported by the U.S government for more than seventy years and lots of them are deprived of their lives day by day.
It is true that you were mourning your compatriots during these recent days, and when the racist police used its organizational machine to subdue the protesting population, we remembered you sadly and mournfully, but the zealous American people have to be more aware of this bitter reality that there is no place today in the world where no human being has been deprived of the right of life under the pressure of the U.S government. Today, what Trump is doing against people on the streets of the United States is a very tiny part of the U.S government behavior towards the people of the world for many years.
Nowadays, the oppressed people of Iraq and Afghanistan have been crushed by the boots of the US military and the terrorists of the US government for more than 17 years, whose bones have been broken and deprived of the natural right of life.
Nowadays, the bones of millions of Syrian men and women, old and young, have been broken under the feet of ISIS led by the US for more than seven years, and no one has heard the voice of their being crushed.
Professorship movement of Iran, on behalf of the honorable people of Iran, who are among the biggest victims of the violent knees of the US government, and plenty of them, due to the oppressive sanctions of your government, do not have the right to live and receive medicine, while supporting the 'social movement of breath' in the United States, demands the right of all people of the world to breath and free the earth from the domination of global arrogance, and respecting the territorial integrity of all races, nationalities, and languages ??in the United States, strongly advises the breath movement to be a means to change the American tyrant nature of rulers and filthy politics and government, and do not allow statesmen more to cause global disgrace through the name of the American nation.
Because changing in the nature of tyrant governments, is something inevitable, but it's interior taking place by the hands of American people who are thirsty for justice will promise the social and cultural maturity of these people; Because, most importantly, the Coronavirus events and changes in the United States have clearly shown that the precious lives of people do not have much credibility in the calculations of the belligerent and tyrant politicians of this country.
