Mother Sa’adat

Mother Shahrbanu Ghoreishi(Mother Sa’adat)

Mother Shahrbanu Ghoreishi, Mother Sa’adat, is the mother of Alireza Sa’adat, a Organisation of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class, and Mohammadreza Sa’adat, a member of the student section of the same organisation. Both were murdered by the Islamic regime of Iran in 1360 (1981). Alireza was executed in Evin prison in Shahrivar 1360 (Aug.-Sep. 1981) and Mohammadreza was murdered under torture in Chalus Prison.

Mother Sa’adat, together with her husband, actively participated in the memorial ceremonies held by the families of the executed in Khavaran abandoned cemetery. Mother Sa’adat had a poem on Khavaran which she recited every time they gathered in Khavaran. Mother Sa’adat and her husband relentlessly worked for the justice-seeking movement and for that very reason they, like their children, were imprisoned and tortured. Mother, like many of the Khavaran Mothers, fell ill at the later stage of her life and could no longer visit the Khavaran.
