Iranians Bode Farewell To, and Honored the Legacy of a Great Man and the Power of His Intellect

-

 Written by Sedighe Shahrokhi

On Monday evening, March 28, the body of the preeminent intellectual, acclaimed writer and literary scholar, Dr. Manouchehr Hezarkhani, was laid to rest at the Cimetière d’Auvers-sur-Oise, France.


The last resting place of one of the most celebrated artists in the world, the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh, the cemetery once again witnessed hundreds of Iranians, both supporters of the Iranian Resistance as well as friends, family members, and admirers of Dr. Hazarkhani’s work. They came from all over Europe and wanted to say farewell to a brave soul who had devoted his entire career to those who had blessed him with praise and trust: his people.

Following the funeral, a commemoration ceremony was held for Dr. Hezarkhani at the headquarters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran in Auvers-sur-Oise. Thousands of members of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran Organization (PMOI/MEK) joined the event online via Albania.

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the NCRI, attended online and addressed the meeting. Several members of the NCRI also spoke at the gathering.

In her speech, Mrs. Rajavi described Dr. Hazarkhani as a person whose life, but also his passing, had inspired and motivated the resistance and struggle against the enemy of the Iranian people.

“For 40 years, his first and foremost focus was to overthrow the regime, and with the power of his pen, he targeted the regime and its efforts to preserve its rule and its ideological activities, Mrs. Rajavi said.‌ “Going through his writings, books, and interviews over the past four decades, we can see how he incessantly belittled or ridiculed the politics, culture, sharia, law, and the rule of Khomeini and Khamenei with his unique sense of humor. He always exposed the retrogression, vulgarity, and hypocrisy of religious tyranny. He disgraced opportunistic power brokers and their mentor Ali Akbar Rafsanjani. He called Mohammad Khatami a chief antichrist who “falsely sang about ‘civil society’, ‘dialogue among civilizations’ and ‘political advancement’, only to attract more clients for the regime and he seriously despised the regime’s so-called reformist theatre. He slammed the lobbyists and mouthpieces of the regime who opposed sanctions imposed on the regime by shedding crocodile tears for the people.”

Ms. Rajavi emphasized: “Dr. Hazarkhani rose to the occasion and reached the height of humanity, developing a great position through the decisions he made in life. He became a role model for all intellectuals, writers, and masters of Iranian art and culture to dedicate their skills, talents, and creativity to Iran’s progressive and freedom-seeking movement.”

“In this fight, there were those who stood against him with ties to the clerical or monarchial regimes. Those who used their poetry, novels, or intellectual skills at the service of the proceeding or succeeding tyrants, becoming instruments of the dictatorship to disappoint the masses,” Mrs. Rajavi added.

“My father truly loved the Resistance Units,” said Shahin Hezarkhani, the son of Dr. Hezarkhani. “Watching their activities via Iran NTV, was a daily routine for him. His heart was only beating with, and for the resistance. He had so much passion for those who had sacrificed their lives for freedom, for our martyrs. Every time he visited the resistance’s camps, he was a different man when he returned.”

Zeenat Mirhashemi, editor in chief of the ‘Nabarde Khalq’ journal and a member of the Central Committee of the People’s Fedayeen Guerrilla Organization of Iran, said: “Dr. Hezarkhani remained faithful to his ideals until the very last moment, and he fiercely fought for change. He was a capable writer, a committed intellectual, a fighter, and a rebel against injustice. The regime’s operatives continued to attack Dr. Hazarkhani even after his death. They wanted him imprisoned, chained to his own books and writings. But the more the regime writes against him, the more the real value of Dr. Hazarkhani and his decision to join the struggle against this regime becomes evident.”

At the first step, you should be the center of this cruelty and the godfather of crime and murder, terrorism and fundamentalism that nobody is part of Iran's terrorist government. The fact is that the killing and execution of political and conscientious prisoners in public or in prisons is secretly in its astronomical dimensions on the coin of killing innocent people abroad by this regime. The issuance of terrorism and the support of fundamentalist and terrorist groups in this regime is institutionalized and is part of the constitution. The crimes committed by perpetrators and groups affiliated with this corrupt and expansionist state in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq

Titled “Four Decades of Crime against Humanity and Impunity from Punishment,” the event gathered esteemed international judges and jurists from all around the world. In her  opening remarks ,  Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran , stressed the need to end impunity for the Iranian regime’s leaders, emphasizing accountability for their involvement in genocide and crimes against humanity. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi said, “For the past four decades, the regime’s central slogan has been “Death to the Hypocrites.” This chant is echoed without fail at every official ceremony. The term “hypocrite” is the regime’s derogatory reference to the PMOI. In its relations with any country in the world, the regime has declared its most significant red line to be any association with the PMOI. What pr
