Moharram 2009
It is my first Moharram in London; wearing black, crying, remembering our 3rd infallible Imam, Hussein ibn Ali (as) during the event of Karbala...now I remember the political prisoners in Iran and especially my beloved clergy colleagues.
Islam shouldn't be involve with politic or any kind of human manipulations, and Moharram is coming to reminds us to be alert of oppression: Muslim oppressions. Imam Hussein (as) was killed by a Muslim oppressor, Yazid and we have to learn from his way of life, patience and kindness towards humankind.

Imam Hussein (as) was killed by a Muslim oppressor, Yazid and we have to learn from his way of life, patience and kindness towards humankind.I send my sorrow to all Muslims and non Muslims for the occasion of the martyrdom days of Imam Hussein (as) who sacrifice himself for the whole humanity.
For those who would be in London area, you could come to Husseiniyat al-Rasoul al A'zam where Mulla Bassim al-Karbalaei will be present to say eulogies on the event of Karbala.
Every evening at 7:30pm until Jan 1st 2010. The day of Ashoura will be on Sunday 28th December.
ذَلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ
That (shall be so); and whoever respects the signs of Allah, this surely is (the outcome) of the piety of hearts. (Surat 22, Ayaat 32)
Labbayka Ya Hussain

One year later
Welcome to five-star Iranian Guantanamo
Introduction
PRISON
350 days in the prisons of the Islamic Regime in Iran...
I hear the metallic door slamming
In the long dark and scary corridors, screams and cries are heard.
Always anguished when I smell the eau de cologne of my interrogators that pervades the atmosphere of my solitary cell with no windows. And the terrifying sounds of keys opening my cell's door; tought interrogations are beginning...
(an extract from my book)
Salaams, Peace be upon you
It is exactly 1 year that I was relased from the Iranian Regime's prison. It took me one year of convalescence and to forgive the one who betrayed me.
The only reason I didn't submit any legal action against some persons from Montreal is because I wanted to follow these verses from God:
"They shall treat them with kindness and tolerence; do you not love to attain God's forgiveness? God is Forgiver, most Merciful (Quran 24:22)
God had advised the faithful that forgiveness is better: the repayment of a bad action is one equivalent to it. But if someone pardons and puts things right, his reward is with God (Quran 42:40)....But if you pardon and exonerate and forgive, God is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful (Quran 64:14)"
Nevertheless, I had several opportunity to make public statements, denouncing the criminal who have relation with Iran...but I leave it for the Day of the Judgment.
My name is Sepanta Mohammad Cyrous, born in a Muslim family in 1978 in France; I raised in the USA where I obtained my High School Diploma and my Bachelor Degree. Since I was 13, I had an unexplained deep love for the Prophet Muhammad (swt) and the Ahl ul Bayt (as). Due to my Iranian origine, my comprehension of Islam was resumed to Iran and Khomeini.
During my teenage period, I was regularly going to mosques and had practicing Muslim friends.
In Los Angeles, I was actively participating to Islamic Centers and Mosques where I taught to younger generation about Quran and Islamic Jurisprudence. At the same time I studies principles of the religion and books of the Hawzah. I was supervised by several hawzah professors such as ayatollah Jalali (Chicago), sheikh Ghardhawi (Château-Chinon).
Then, I went to Chicago for 2 years where I continue to teach and participating to Hawzah debates with some hawzah professors.
In 2002, I immigrated to Montreal for 3 years where I opened a Management School with a French-Iranian professor. While studying a Master, I participated to al-Ghadeer youth Cultural and Religious group.
After receiving my Master in 2004, I went to Qum to continue my studies in the Internation Islamic University (today called Jami'a Mostafawiah).
In 2006 after the completion of the first level exams, I received the clergy outfit authorization.
While studying, I had the opportunity to be invited to several place such as the Canadian Parliament, Moroccan Family Code Conference and to be the host of 2 different satellite TV programs from Iran and meet high religious figures (Khamenei, Bahjad, Vahid, Makarem, Sane'i...)
On January 1st 2008, three agents from the Intelligence Serice of Iran rang at my apartment door and arrested me.
I was kept during 7 months inside a solitary confinement cell blindfolded with no window, only a Quran, Mafatih jenan (supplication book) and water...
I had tough interrogations during 2 months without the right to contact the French Embassy or having a lawyer.
My interrogators tortured me (slaps, hitting, whips, plunging my head into a basin of water, with underwear in the yard outside under the snow for hours, depriving me of washing myself for days, humiliating by calling me names, 2 short electrical shocks, threatenend to execute me...)
I felt I made a huge mistake to believe that the Revolution in Iran was based on Islamic values and justice.
I lost 45 pounds and I started to have some medical issues linked to strong stress and my detention conditions.
My mother who came to Iran to visit me, stayed by herself in the apartment in Qum waiting for me to "come back home". She was under close supervision with women agents until my release in order not to contact the French Embassy or anyone.
Finaly, I had to make 2 negotiations in exchange to be release:
1- Offer my legacies
2- Write almost 100 pages an invented story explaining how I was hired from Montreal as a US-Canadian spy. One of my interrogators helped me to make up the story for the judge.
After the first 2 months of tortures, the judge came inside my solitary cell and told me that I won't be executed for this time.
I was accused to have relation with "foreigners" for spying against the holiness of the Islamic Republic. I was left by myself for another 5 months.
On july 2008, I've got a first "leader's pardon" and was transferred the the public prison (Langaroud Clergy Section).
I've met many religious savants and political clergymen such as Abtahi, Ghabel, Lotfi, ayatollah Rezvani...
We spent time to study Hawzah books and I was teaching English for 2 hours a day.
On December 2008, for the day of Ghadeer, I finally received my last "leader pardon" and was released.
I had to wait until January 11th 2009 to be able to leave the Iranian territory.
I have to thank my parents (especially my mother who cried every day), the French Government and all who supported me since my liberation.
In March 2009, I went to Brussels to complain against the Islamic Republic where I met dr. Shirin Ebadi
In April 2009, I moved in the UK to continue my studies where I found my dear wife.
I went few time on BBC to explain the mistreatment of the Iranian Regime; I completed my autobiography book but not yet published it.
I am preparing a series of TV Youtube program on Islamic Jurisprudence and Moral in French.
I wish you all sucess, health and faith.
