Sadegh Zibakalam is a professor of political science at the University of Tehran and, more than that, he is exceptionally brave. A couple of months ago, he tweeted: “If, God forbid, there is a war between us and Israel, we will have to tell future generations why we fought a war with a country 200 kilometres away that never threatened us.” There is no justice in Iran. Verdicts are arranged before the case is heard in court. Zibakalam was given a prison sentence of 18 months for “propaganda against the Islamic Republic.” He has appealed. While still at home waiting to go on trial, he gave an interview to Deutsche Welle, in which he said, “I have a simple question: Who gave us the responsibility for destroying Israel?” In Iran, they hang men like him in public from a crane mounted on a truck, or make them disappear, not to be seen again. A simple statement: We are responsible for doing whatever can be done to come to the aid of Sadegh Zibakalam.
