Today my broken face is the true face of the system in the Islamic Republic of Iran. I am now the symbol of justice that, if viewed correctly, puts on display the full extent of the opression by the rulers of the Islamic Republic. My worn-out body and face reveal, paradoxically, the proclaimed justice and the true oppression. Anyone who sees me now asks in surprise, “Are you Akbar Ganji? What have they done to you?” —“Letter to the Free People of the World,” 1 July 2005
