Regarding Mr.
Shajarian death, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, said: “My condolences to the Iranian
people, to Iran’s arts community, and to Mr. Shajarian’s family and friends on
the passing of one of Iran’s greatest artists. Shajarian’s brilliant work and
record are everlasting and among the most precious treasures of our national art.
The ruling mullahs’ restrictions and pressures have not and will never
undermine his status and his enormous contributions to Iran’s art and music
scene, particularly the art of singing. Without a doubt, Iran’s arts community
and those who care about Iran’s music will build upon his contributions,
teachings, and unique innovations as never before and will add to Iran’s
unrivaled treasures of arts and culture. Mr. Shajarian’s vocals have been
warmly received in the hearts of millions of Iranians for several generations
and cannot be extinguished.”

Shajarian, a committed singer and
composer, has been more prominent than any other musician in the last half
century, both inside and outside Iran.
As a national figure, he had
difficult relations with Tehran officials during his long life, first during
the Shah's reign and then during the mullahs' regime.
Shajarian had said that his songs
are always related to the political and social situation of the country. He was
protesting against the regime.
Professor Shajarian:
Follow our history and you will see
that there have been wars, killings, misery, oppression and tyranny all over
it. We have not reached democracy yet.

Master Shajarian's funeral under
strict security conditions and the widespread presence of repressive security
forces:
The funeral of Professor Mohammad
Reza Shajarian was held in Ferdowsi Mausoleum in the presence of his family and
his body was buried.
There were crowds outside the tomb, but the regime surrounded the security of the cemetery with a large number of officers and did not allow people to approach it, and people were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard of Ferdowsi Tomb and the burial site.
Internet disruption at Master
Shajarian's burial place:
The mullahs' regime, in fear of the
publication of pictures of Master Shajarian's funeral and the large presence of
the people, severely disrupted and cut off the Internet in the area of
Ferdowsi's tomb.
People gathered at Shajarian's
burial ground in Tus and waited for the body of Master Shajarian to arrive for
burial.
The regime's repressive forces tried
to disperse the population, but the population grew by the minute Suppressive
forces of the Special Forces were deployed in the surrounding streets and
gardens to respond to the protests and anger of the people.
Fearing the presence of the people,
the clerical regime limited Master Shajarian's funeral to 150 people.
The people pledged to him that they
would not give up their struggle until they achieved freedom.
Shajarian is a master of Iranian
music and a freedom fighter who became immortal in the hearts and minds of
Iranians and the Iranian resistance.
