Mayson Majidi, 27 years old, Kurdish director and activist, after the escape from Iran and the journey by sea, it ended up in spite of himself in the Cyclope, in a prison in Castrovillari in Calabria.
THE Reasons why it had to escape are those shared by many others people. Maysoon Majidi has become an uncomfortable figure in Iran after The killing of Mahsa Amini, the 22 year old Kurdish killed by the police Iranian.
TO following the death of this young woman, symbol of rebellion In power and victim of the Iranian moral police, there was a wave of protests to which director Maysoon Majidi, together with other women, has actively participated so as to become, in turn, a figure uncomfortable for the Iranian government and risk imprisonment.
From Here, in recent months, the escape from Iran and the arrival in Calabria on 31 December, where, a twist, he becomes for the prosecutor of Crotone a "Suspect smuggler", an alleged trafficman of human lives, so with This accusation, pending the trial, is locked up in the prison of Castrovillari.
In This case the unjust imprisonment does not completely go unnoticed, As very often, however, it happens in the case of migrant people who land on our coasts and end up forgotten in structures prisoners of various types.
Mayson Majidi, perhaps supported by the idea that the abuses suffered in Italy were inconceivable in a democratic country, he continues to wonder: " Because I'm here [in carcere]?’’.
This It is the question that the Kurdish-Iranian activist continues to ask who are visit because - seen with the eyes of those who run away from a regime for fear of ending up in prison and then instead he finds himself held in it in Italy, where he thought he could request international protection - History takes on the characters of the nightmare that comes true.
The case of Maysoon is yet another demonstration of the hypocrisy of a class politics that has pretended interest in the case of Mahsa Amini and the Protests of Iranian women in order to make a drinking propaganda Orientalist and Islamophobic, and then denying support to an activist Kurdish-Iranian who fights against the abuse of the moral police.
Know that Maysoon Majidi continues to be locked up in the prison of Castrovillari is for us source of concern and indignation, and it is For this reason that we have thought of activating ourselves, to make sure that He does not remain alone to fight his battle in the Antro del Cyclops.
Against the Cutro decree and in solidarity with Maysoon Majidi and all Those fleeing for their resistance and struggle are imprisoned In the prisons of the various countries, a demonstration will be held on March 26 in starting at 10.00 a.m. a demonstration in front of the Castrovillari prison.
