"I am a student
Do Not Taser Me!"
A million things have been racing through my mind for the past while ever since I heard and saw the pain inflicted on a fellow Iranian and yet, I cannot think of a single one to put on my blog. I do not know the whole story, I do not know Mostafa, I do not know whether he was, like me, a recent immigrant who tired from years of living under oppression and police force, has left all behind in search of freedom and peace and realization of dreams. All I know is that no one deserves to be tasered in such a gruelling manner. Life is hard enough as it is as an immigrant, trying to build a whole new life, trying to fit in, trying to not miss the good and the bad of our motherland. Have we not gone through enough already? Have we not shed enough tears? Have we not lost enough? When will the pain ever stop? We do not deserve this, Mostafa did not deserve this. Is there no justice in this world?
