Discover Amirhossein Moradi and Ali Younesi’s powerful letter from Evin Prison. It links university resistance to Iran’s freedom fight against dictatorship.
Iran Human Rights Society, Saturday, 20 September 2025 – Iran’s political prisoners, Amirhossein Moradi and Ali Younesi, ignite a call to action. From Evin Prison, they bind university students to the fight for freedom. Their latest letter revives silenced voices. It arrives on the eve of the 2025 academic year. They highlight how repression fails to crush Iran’s spirit. Universities and prisons connect in this struggle. Moreover, they urge unity against dictatorship.
The duo, elite Sharif University students, has endured years behind bars. Their words paint a stark picture. Repression and executions rage on. Yet, freedom’s aspiration burns brighter. Iran faces deep crises now. Poverty hits millions hard. Children lose education chances. Furthermore, executions securitize society. Universities suffer most. The air reeks of blood, not books.
University Resistance in Iran’s History
Moradi and Younesi recall bold history. Universities stand as resistance strongholds. Think of the July 1999 protests at Tehran University. Then came November 2019’s Aban uprisings. Streets and campuses erupted. Heroes fell, but the fire spread. The 2022 uprisings followed suit. Brave girls led the charge nationwide. Many sacrificed lives.
They stress this legacy. Prison cells turn into battlegrounds. Classrooms hold even greater power. Therefore, students must seize the moment. No silence allows hangings to continue. Brave souls shatter fear’s darkness. They thunder against the night.
A Choice Between Surrender and Destruction or Resistance and Freedom
Society faces a stark choice today. Surrender leads to destruction. Resistance brings freedom. Moradi and Younesi declare this clearly. It paves the way for a democratic Iran. No more torture or executions. This letter transcends prison walls. It unites generations. Streets link to universities. Prisons point to a free future.
However, crises mount. Executions surge. War looms on the horizon. Poverty grips families below the line. Children miss school amid survival fights. Universities open under suffocation’s weight. Books stay closed. Voices choke in throats.
Mehr once smelled of fresh starts. Now, it carries blood’s stench from Shahrivar and Aban. Days count executions, not lessons. Fellow students languish like Ehsan Faridi. They face prisons and death rows. Universities mirror cells. Prisons echo lecture halls.
Yet, the night never quiets fully. Darkness never wins. Thunderous bravery mocks it. Silence breaks under bold steps. People hang in shadows. Homeland crumbles. But heroes forge memories, not dreams. From 1999’s Tehran clashes to 2017’s echoes, then 2019’s Aban fury, the plane tragedy at Sharif, to 2022’s nationwide revolt—fighters persist. They move from streets to cells.
If cells become war zones, imagine classrooms’ might. This question demands an answer now. Fight for freedom and save Iran. Or surrender, stay silent, and watch ruin. This choice connects us all.
The Fight for Freedom Binds Our Hands from Prison to University
What ties us from prison to university? We stand as barriers against dictatorship. Reject medieval religious rule. Block feudal kings and princes’ return. This unites our hands. It matches our era’s need. Align steps now. Turn strides into victory’s march. Secure Iran’s freedom.
Yes, our will defies war and ruin. It brings prosperity instead. Determination trumps foreign powers. We shape our fate. After 120 years of heroism, we build anew. Erect a republic on democracy’s base. Free from executions, torture, repression—brick by brick.
We join you in solidarity. Honor those who fought and died. Echo their oath: We stand with you. In memory of them, by comrades’ blood, we endure to the end.

About the Two Political Prisoners, Amirhossein Moradi and Ali Younesi
Ali Younesi studied computer engineering. Amirhossein Moradi pursued physics. Both excelled as elite students at Sharif University of Technology. Agents arrested them on April 10, 2020. Intelligence forces acted without warrants. Beatings marked the raids.
On Friday evening, April 10, agents stormed homes. They skipped judicial orders. Twelve Revolutionary Guard members hit Younesi’s place. They beat him brutally. His forehead split open.
Moradi earned a silver medal in the 2017 National Astronomy Olympiad. Younesi grabbed silver in 2016’s event. He added gold in 2017. Together, they clinched gold at China’s 12th International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics. Iran beamed with pride.
These student activists endured hell. On June 26, 2022, authorities moved them. After 808 days in Evin’s solitary and closed wards, they entered general population. Heavy 16-year sentences hung over them.
