PRESS RELEASE:
MURIC
CONDOLES WITH IRAN EMBASSY, ELZAKZAKY, OVER RAISI'S DEATH
An Islamic human rights
organization, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has sent a message of
condolence to the government and people of Iran as well as the leader of the
Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Shaykh El-Zakzaky, over the demise of President
Ibrahim Raisi.
In a statement issued on
Tuesday 21st May, 2024, the Executive Director of the group, Professor Ishaq
Akintola, described President Raisi as a friend of the oppressed and the
champion of liberty.
The statement reads in
full:
"The world held its
breath yesterday as news of the death of the president of Iran spread like the
dark clouds of a storm.
"President
Raisi left a vacuum that will be difficult to fill. His death broke the heart
of more than one and a half billion Muslims and shattered the hopes of millions
of progressive citizens of the world. It also spread gloom among the poor and
weak nations of the Third World.
"But we are consoled
by the great moral heritage left behind by Raisi. We are equally strengthened
by the divine promise of Allah to keep the souls of martyrs fresh, undying and
enduring.
"MURIC stands in
solidarity with the government and the good people of Iran at this moment of
trial. We are with Shaykh El-Zakzaky at this hour of grief.
"May Allah grant
President Raisi forgiveness and may He in His Infinite Mercy grant him aljannah
firdaus."
