Dear Mehdi Yarrahi, a great and honourable man
What did they imagine when they shackled a song?

My song is made of that very ladder
that we build together
to reach the stars.
My song is for this very soil,
and when the future arrives,
the song that will always remain new
will be one made of courage.
 “Victor Jara”

Zahra Minoui, Mehdi Yarrahi’s lawyer, announced that, in view of his illness and need for medical care, his prison sentence has been converted to house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor.
