In the last message that Dr. Parsa managed to send out of her prison cell, she addressed her children: “I am a doctor so I have no fear of death. Death is only a moment and no more. I am prepared to receive death with open arms than to live longer in shame by being forced to be veiled. I am not going to bow to those who expect me to express regret for fifty years of my efforts for women and men’s equality. I am not prepared to wear the chador and step back in history.”
“True reconciliation does not consist in merely forgetting the past.”
- Nelson Mandela in his speech, January 7th, 1996.
