Int. Day in Support of Political Prisoners in Iran

Int. Day in Support of Political Prisoners in Iran

a poster by Saeed Kalhor, with a photo of mine

  "تقدیم به کودکان زندانیان سیاسی" 
Dedicated to the children of political prisoners in Iran 


عکسهای من انعکاس فریادهای درون من در اعتراض به بی عدالتیهای حاکم توسط مذهب در جامعه ایران است! جامعه ای که هنر هنرمند در اختیار قدرتمندان نباشد، به کمک زور، فشار و سانسور هنرمند و خلاقیت آن را وادار به سکوت میکنند.


These photographs are the expression of my voice against the injustice imposed by the rule of religious in Iran. These are my voice from a society where an Islamic regime, through imposing an utmost censorship and an immense pressure, tries to silence every artist.
These are my voice to say, I am here and will not be silenced.

- Saeed Kalhori - 

a deeply touching video by Saeed, my friend & photographer.

thank you sooooooo much, my dear Saeed !!!!!
it's an honor for me to participate in this Campaign !!!!!
lots of Love and kissesssssssssssssssssss !!!!!
