Heartfelt poem! For a moment I was reminded of the cruelty. Short and sweet poem to express the feel of relief! Very nice. But feeling sad that its still not over..

Custody deaths are pathetic. You deserve special comments for mentioning the death of Mahsa Amini

In spite of all the assurances, the Iranian dictatorship has hanged two persons to death upto now, for participation in the protests. It is actually the will of the people that was hinged twice
