"Berkely Lecture Series" in partnership with "Iranian Society for Human Rights-Northern California" presents:
In Memory of the Victims of the 1988 Mass Killing of Political Prisoners in Iran
Speakers:
Mehdi Aslani and Shirin Mehrbod
Mehdi Aslani, an eyewitness survivor of 1988 massacre (“koshtare 67”), visiting from Germany
A performance by Shirin Mehrbod, a former political prisoner and singer, visiting from Canada
And
Screening of a short film, “Madaran Khavaran”
Mehdi Aslani will discuss his recently published prison memoirs, The Crow and the Red Rose ("Kalagh va Gole Sorkh"). This extremely well-written, mesmerizing, memoir is one of the best written accounts of horrors and life in the Islamic Republic prisons.
Shirin Mehrbod composed her first melody in her mind, inside the walls of Islamic Republic prisons, as a way of surviving the long days and five intolerable years of her life. She has been one of the beautiful voices of the Iranian music in diaspora ever since moving to Canada in 1991.
