Beautiful Malika Became a Companion to Atena…. This Time Khuzestan Mourns Assault and Murder

According to Rokna News Agency: The body of an 8-year-old girl from Haftgel was found buried in a ruined building three days after she went missing. The body of this innocent girl was discovered with her hands protruding from the soil.

With the discovery of Malika’s body, criminal investigators in Khuzestan Province unveiled the tragedy of a bloody crime, and initial investigations revealed that Malika died as a result of suffocation.

Malika, an 8-year-old girl from the Houre Haftkel area who lived with her maternal grandfather’s family due to her parents’ separation, went missing three days earlier while playing near her house. On the fourth night of Mehr month, her lifeless body was found in a ruined area near her mother’s house.

How is it that seeing a seven-year-old girl in school uniform and headscarf, at the hands of a married man, can plant such demonic intentions of assault, and more importantly, how is it that in Iran these vile demonic intentions so quickly turn into action?

If such demonic intentions are to be created so quickly and turned into action, in Western countries where mixed swimming pools, accessible liquor stores, half-naked billboards are visible everywhere, and arousing films are broadcast on television for all to see, there should be tens of thousands of assaults daily.

“Why in Iran do demonic intentions so quickly lead to assault?” The answer lies in this point: this three-part sentence (I saw the girl alone, a demonic intention came to my mind, I acted on it) is actually a four-part sentence: I saw the girl alone, a demonic intention came to my mind, “I saw as if in this country nobody belongs to anybody,” I acted on it!

Certainly, if Westerners were to act like us, crime and assault statistics in the West would be many times, or even dozens of times, higher than current figures. Do Westerners, in whom a mentality of hedonism flourishes, lack intelligence that by spreading such violent news, sometimes as headline news, they disturb their people’s minds and make them anxious?

Actually, Westerners act very intelligently in such matters because they know the main issue is not catching the criminal, but making it understood to future criminals that this is a city, not a jungle, and kidnapping or assaulting a child means facing the entire government and people.

One cannot say how many “jungle-dwellers” exist in this country, but whatever the number, those who view Iranian society like a jungle and do not shy away from blade-wielding, kidnapping, threats, assault, and other crimes—the “jungle-seers”—are not few. Because of the growing population of “jungle-seers,” if car side mirrors collide with some force, getting out with a blade is not a rare sight in Tehran. Setting aside ordinary people, in which country in the world do criminals repeatedly attack armed police with blades instead of fleeing? Are not these phenomena evidence of the spread of “jungle-seers”?

Unfortunately, I must say we do not have a law-abiding society. This killer will be executed as soon as possible and after two years everything will be forgotten, but how much can eliminating the manifestation of the problem help? Are we seeking treatment or prevention? Limiting ourselves to executing this man is merely covering up the problem, because we see many like him in the country, and unfortunately, the indifference of officials, ignorance of parents, and fear of telling children how to protect themselves has become the curse of our society.

A very regrettable point is that the bodies of Atena, Malika, Benita, and Abolfazal were found in very close proximity to their homes. Now the question arises: how do police and intelligence officers search for missing persons!!! The appropriate answer is that the esteemed officials have no compassion, humanitarian feeling, or sense of responsibility in their missions. Because with piety and understanding that God was, is, and will be, along with a little attention, thought, and accountability, they could first prevent crimes from occurring and secondly save the lives of defenseless children.
