Unsuccessful Jailbreak

Death penalty verdicts of 21 members of Ahmadzadeh Marxist group issued. I was thinking of a jailbreak and needed information to complete my plan. So, I would gather preliminary information when going to interrogation sessions. I found out the prison had a north-to-south street that on its eastern side there was a building which had some windows opening to the street and some to the yard. The yard had a 3-meters-wall with a grating and on the other side of the wall there was river which was about six meters down the top of the wall. I mean the river was 3 meters lower than the yard. There was also a watchtower about 2 meters higher than the wall for guarding around the prison.

After gathering the necessary information, along with some members of Ahmadzadeh group, we began weakening two iron bars of the cell to escape through them. We unravel the rug in the cell and made thick rope out of it about 6 or 7 meters long.

We planned the jailbreak.  First of all two of us had to jump on that watchtower and drop it down by force. It was possible that two people lose their lives. After the fall of the watchtower the rest had to go down the wall by rope and run away through the river.

We planned and finished all the details of our plan with Abbas Meftahi and Masud Ahmadzadeh. We arranged a meeting to finalize the plan. Unfortunately, some evaded in this meeting. They had excuses like armed guards, Uzi machine guns and… They were stupid because most of them were about to be executed and there would make no difference if they die by death squad or killed when running away. The good thing about jailbreak was that they would become heroes. They were losing this chance by their opposition.

It was also possible to save others’ lives if some could escape and conduct propaganda after running away. Whatever I insisted it was useless and they did not change their minds. However, it was acceptable for me to change my mind because I had only to pass few years in prison and then I would continue my life. Being in prison was equal to be alive but running away would cost my life.

Anyway, when some avoided joining the jailbreak plan, it became useless because it was impossible to succeed by one person.
