سند مهم در مورد غلامحسین ساعدی

sepaas gozaram

Dear Ms. Shahrokhi,

Thank you for your kind and generous words. I am happy to have been able to add a little to your great work.

Dr. Saedi was one of our better intellectuals. He was head and shoulder above others in an era that unfortunately has been a desert of thought, especially democratic thought. I wish he was alive to see the revival of a vigorous democratic movement in Iran. When I see so many brave young women and men standing up for freedom in the past few days in various universities, it makes me so proud of our people. The works of people like Saedi or Shamloo were not in vein. Despite all their flaws and shortcomings (and there were many), they valiantly struggled against two tyrannical regimes and for their ideals of modernity, freedom, and progressive change.

With all the best wishes,

Masoud
