A Note from Sidiki Kaba
- President of the International Federation of Human Rights
What lingers on after those long, late-night talks with God and Karl Marx, those
war-ravaged city streets and that brief and painful exile in a Europe which is both
close and remote? A vivid, black-and-white picture, a realistic and imaginary
picture of life in Tehran from the pre-revolutionary days to the present time. A
gripping picture too, because it is seen through the eyes of a young girl whose
body is growing even as her country is being crippled by intolerance and war.
The intellectual elite flee their country in which they are persecuted, tortured and
even killed, the martyrs become part of history books, a history re-written by the
Mullahs. Distrust sets in while the Pasdaran control all activities especially those
of women, who are daily harassed, blamed for their “misconduct" for "improper
headgear". This tragic history is also part of our own history because our friend
Akbar Ganji and Abdolfattah Soltani and many other victims are struggling
against this repressive regime, so we are proud to take part in this admirable
adaptation project.
It is because we can read, in the eyes of Karim Lahidji, president of the Iranian
League for Human Rights, the grief and the anger of an exile, that we understand
how endearing that country can be to those who were born there. The 2003
Nobel Peace Prize winner and a relentless lawyer, Shrini Ehadi commented on
her unflagging conviction: "Actually, the events, (the Islamic revolution and its
aftermath) are simply an accident of history. This is not what Iran is about. Iran's
history spans over 1,000 years. There won't be another revolution. Iranians have
already experienced one and for them enough is enough. But one day, this
country will become again what it has always been, a country of tolerance and of
cheerful life. " Persepolis is the story of this " accident in history", it is a first-hand
account of contemporary events, and also a message of hope for the future, a
message brought to us by your forceful style and your strong words. Thank you
Marjane and a big cheer to you and Vincent for achieving this amazing feat of
breathing life into a splendid story, the story of your life.
