There once lived a person named:
“We have been through hell, now we are in purgatory, be sure that we will get to heaven and we will talk to the God of freedom!” These were the last words of Mohsen Shekari, to one of the customers of the café where he worked -the words of a young man who saw in the name Dante a Persian-language acronym: "Enemy of humanity, your destruction is my only goal."
