From a letter by Delara Darabi to those attending the exhibition of her paintings:
".... I know that my years of struggle for attaining my rights and for my innocence to be heard is not being effective ...An imprisoned man once said: "My only claims are my calls to God from my small prison, and my answers to God in the vast field of freedom within these four walls." . It is not important where we are ...God's love is always with us ...and his promise of truth......Pray for all Delara's in the faraway lands."
From a letter by Delara Darabi one year ago to Nazanin Afshin-Jam president and co-founder of the Stop Child Executions:
"..... I don't know if I will meet you my dear ones or we must leave the meeting to the unseen world. Anyway, Delara is not alone, Delara's are trapped in prisons and in need of God's help and in need of defenders of human right and humanity!!!
I hope that you defend humanity and always be successful. The one who defends humanity and knowledge , is not a human but a true knower of God and knower of self. A reference, a gauge and a motive for life...and that is how you are ...Nazanin (precious) of all ages.
You and I and all of us, human beings of the world came here ...but after a while we forgot everything... We live with different feelings, with perplexity and amazements and we still do not understand why?
I cry a lot, just like the spring clouds! with large droplets...have you ever seen it?! ......I have never cried for being imprisoned, because my thoughts and my heart is free and is with you....Say hello to my true loving friends , because every night during my prayer I pray for all the people of this large and vast house."
One of the poems by Delara sent from prison to SCE before she and her family were threatened by the officials of Islamic Republic against further contacts with outside world:
"I empathize with the scarecrow for being stuck in the field
Her voice is lost behind the clusters of wheat
...and Delara's voice
ah! how late I realized that I have become a scarecrow .."
"A PRISONER OF COLORS"

According to the United Nations, a child is a person under the age of 18. Despite the fact that Iran has signed International Covenants that forbid them to execute anyone who has allegedly committed an offence before the age of 18, they continue to do so. Since 2005, Amnesty International has recorded 21 executions of child offenders and over the last couple of years the rate is increasing. Currently, there are over 80 minors on death row in Iran. Time is of the essence. Together we will make them STOP the execution of minors!
Dave I am Just Heart Broken. When I finaly got back online I was so sickened to hear that Our Sweet Delara had been exicuted! I have really no words to express what I am feeling. I am working on changing my page up some and I look foward to being of some help to the campaign again soon..
"So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer by works, if it were, grace no longer be grace" (Romans 11:5-6), "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and it is not from yourselves, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD - not by works, so that no one can boast" (Eph.2:8-9), "I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing" (Galat.2:21)
Amen
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, In Jesus name, Amen
My heart and my spirit are completely broken when I see what you¨ve suffered Delara. Sweet girl. victim of circunstances in a country of oppresive rule. where wicked pharisees which govern. I feel My spirit and my life is gone when I see your suffering. Sweet girl. Don..t cry. Jehovah and Christ Jesus will figth for you & for us. You don¨t know to Jehova and Christ his son nor his goodness. This is why you will bring to life again. To know the promises for you coming from Jehovah and Christ.

To your parents: you pray for yourselves and for her. An for us. "The dead will be resurrected to a new life." 1 CORINTIANS Chapter 15.
Dave, my heart broke when I saw this. I'm sorry and hope we can make this world a better place just by loving each other....one person at a time. Peace.
Thank you for the bulletin....a visit to your page is again a convicting reminder of the tragedies occuring in countries that allow archaic laws to govern their people....
It must be stopped...the potentially innocent (& guilty) await horrific sentences of death by methods deemed cruel & unusual punishment, if not torture....for crimes not proven by standards deemed conclusive & just....
I honour your efforts my friend and have set a banner on my page to link to this just cause....
and continue to pray for Delara...
Peace & Love
Simon
"So maybe colors would return me back into life. "From behind the walls, I say hello to you, who has come to see my paintings. ..."
