NCRI - In a letter from Karaj Gohardasht Prison (West Tehran), the political prisoner Mehdi Farahi Shandiz, has regarded Khamenei as the cause of all the price rises and the pressure on Iranian people, saying ‘down with all the thieves and freeloaders of Mullahs’ and ‘down with the very principle of vilayat-e-faqih meaning Governance of Jurists (Khamenei)’.
The letter reads: “after years of being in prison, I finally could see the red meat with my eyes, although was not able to touch or smell it. I wish I had not seen it, imagining that just like other basic needs, red meat has also been removed from the food basket and does not exist in reality anymore.”
“Once I was informed of its almost $20 per kilo price, considering that half of it is wasted away, I realized by rule of thumb that the monthly expense (cost of meat) of a family of four with the least consumption of meat would be almost $400 and then I could no more think of the cost of their other needs. I cried for an hour for the 70 million Iranians and then I yelled out loud: “down with the thieves and freeloaders of Mullahs and down with the very principle of vilayat-e-faqih, the causes of all the price rises and miseries of Iranian people.”
