“The Man Who Knew Too Much”: In Memory of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, Great Iranian Scientist http://www.campaigniran.org/casmii/index.php?q=node/12055 

So, what is the sense in all of this? What kind of strong message is this supposed to send to the young generation of Iranians? That they should suspend their hopes for a better future? For development and education? That they should give up their inalienable right to want to live in their homeland, side by side their family and friends, and build it together hand in hand for a brighter future? No, make no mistake; such provocative aspirations will not be tolerated.

The trial of Galileo by the Catholic Church almost 400 years ago pales in comparison to the injustice that is unleashed against Iranian scientists in the 21st century. Imagine what would have happened if the Nazis had managed to assassinate Albert Einstein in his thirties as one of the enemies of the German regime. Imagine how the international community or the world’s physicists’ society would have reacted to the assassination of Stephen Hawking on his 70th birthday while he was struggling to survive and help us advance our so-called humanity.

But make no mistake; do not hold your breath; for no European street will be named after Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan; no scholarship in physics will be established in Cambridge, Princeton or MIT to uphold the memory of such young and lost talent; no Nobel Prize of any sort will be given under his name; no one in the fake international community of Netanyahu, Obama and Rajavi will shed a tear. No head of the so-called International Atomic Energy Agency will look down and share the responsibility for the crime that is committed against one of its member nation’s pursue of knowledge; no mouth in the so-called United Nations Security Council will care to find the right words to condemn such barbarism which is unleashed against the security of a nation; no world power will have the guts, let alone the heart to offer its sincere condolences to a nation which it has been busy victimising for decades.

It is ironic that the poem inscribed at the UN Hall of Nations in New York is in fact by a great Persian poet, and it says:

Human beings are members of a whole,

In creation of one essence and soul.

If one member is afflicted with pain,

Other members uneasy will remain.

If you have no sympathy for human pain,

The name of human you cannot retain.

So where are these human beings? How perverse for the United Nations to engrave Saadi’s poem on its doorstep on the one hand and put hopes and aspirations of Saadi’s nation in grave on the other hand. Moreover, as if subjugating a whole nation to rounds and rounds of crippling sanctions was not enough, some in the so-called Security Council have also managed to send a green light of toleration to those responsible for the barbaric acts committed against Iran’s youngest and most talented assets. This should put the whole United Nations in shame.
