Yarsan will not give up; 1300 years of resistance against political Islam and religious tyranny, ruling Iran.

 

The Yarsan Democratic Party, with deep sorrow and anger arising from the historical conscience of its people, strongly condemns the assassination of two freedom-loving young people and cultural activists from Yarsan, the Veisi brothers, on Thursday, June 27, 1405 in Dalahu, and considers this act to be a continuation of a chain of pressures, repressions, and systematic elimination of dissidents and human rights defenders in Iran. This crime was not directed only at two individuals; it is a clear message against the greater Yarsan/Goran community that has paid the price for 1300 years to preserve identity, human dignity, freedom of conscience, and the right to be different. What is more painful is that today two other young people from the same family are also facing the risk of severe punishments and an unknown fate; a situation that has aroused deep concern for the Yarsan community and all human rights defenders. Throughout their history, the people of Yarsan have repeatedly been victims of discrimination, exclusion, denial of identity, and deprivation of fundamental rights. The historical memory of this community is the memory of suffering and resistance; the memory of a generation that has paid a heavy price to preserve its beliefs, culture, language, rituals, and human dignity.

The people of Yarsan have stood by freedom-seekers and justice-seekers throughout all the ups and downs of contemporary Iranian history. In the popular uprisings of recent years (the Zina and Akhis De Ma movement of 1404), the children of this community also had an active and effective presence, and many of them sacrificed their lives, freedom, and security for the common ideals of the people of this land. The names of the deceased, prisoners, and victims of this community are an inseparable part of the history of the struggle of the people of Yarsan for freedom and justice.

The historical experience of Yarsan has taught this community that whenever political power is accompanied by ideological and religious monopolization and the denial of plurality, the result will be the limitation of individual and collective freedoms, the weakening of civil rights, and the spread of discrimination. For this reason, Yarsanians have always stood by values ​​such as freedom of thought, legal equality, secularism, participatory democracy, the rule of law, and respect for human dignity. In 1978, many of Yarsan’s conscious children warned about the consequences of establishing an ideological and extremist political Islam government and believed that the concentration of power within the framework of an official and exclusive interpretation of religion would block the way to development, freedom, and equal coexistence. The events of the past decades, especially the spread of repression, discrimination, and deep social and political crises, have made the importance of those concerns more evident than ever. The Yarsan Democratic Party declares that the struggle of the people of Yarsan is not a struggle against any religion, denomination, or human society; Rather, it is a civil, democratic and historical struggle against tyranny, discrimination, denial of civil rights and any ideological domination over human destiny. We believe that the future of Iran is only possible through the establishment of a government based on the free vote of the people, the rule of law, the separation of religion from the state, the guarantee of human rights, the full equality of citizens and the recognition of the ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious diversity of all residents of the country. Today, in the face of the blood of the Weisse brothers and all those who died on the path to freedom, we renew our pledge; a pledge to defend the historical identity of the Yarsan community, true freedom, justice and human dignity. We declare that terror, imprisonment, threats and repression cannot break the will of a nation that has stood for centuries to preserve its identity and freedom. Yarsan stood against discrimination yesterday, is standing today and will continue to strive tomorrow alongside all democratic, freedom-loving and justice-seeking forces of Iran to realize a people-based and law-based government. May the memory of those who died on the path to freedom be eternal.
