From Adelaide, this is your March 1st update. A Melbourne woman named Nikku Jollyvon Fard lives in fear that her mother could be executed by Iran's regime at any time. Her 50-year-old mother, Farnas Nikku, has been held in the notorious Evan Prison for three years on false spine charges for Israel. Nikku fled to Australia in March of 2022, never imagining her family would end up in this nightmare. During the recent U.S. and Israel strikes on Iran over the weekend, Nikku got a rare voice message from her mother amid a nationwide communication. Blackout. In it, Farnas urged her daughter to stay calm, mention praying for her, and hinted that anything could happen next, sounding like a possible. Farewell. Nikku's hard-broke hearing those words, feeling like her mother was entrusting her to God in case the worst occurred. She described the powerlessness of not being able to comfort or protect her loved one, especially with the constant dread of a death penalty. Farnas, once a telecom manager, was arrested three years ago while heading to visit Nikku
in Australia. A letter from prison two years back revealed brutal conditions, including five months in solitary starvation rations, like bread for two days. Beedings? Fake threats about her daughter's safety and denied medical care leading to severe bleeding. Nikku hopes the strikes weaken the regime, paving the way for exiled crown prince Reza Palavi to lead Iran towards secular democracy. She dreams of returning home without fear once the country is free. The Daily News Now is presented by our sponsor. Some travel miles to find peace. I just climb into bed and listen.
