May the words of Darioush ring true in Iran one day...where Bahais, & Jews can announce their religious Holidays. May all Iranians in Iran have the same freedom that Islamic Republic has in United States under the constitution and First Amendment. "Now that I put the crown of kingdom of Iran, Babylon, and the nations of the four directions on the head with the help of God (Ahura Mazda), I announce that I willrespect the traditions, customs and religions of the nations of my empire and never let any of my governors From now on, till God (Ahura Mazda) grants me the kingdom favor, I will impose my monarchy on no nation. Each is free to accept it, and if any one of them rejects it, never resolve on war to reign. Until I am the king of Iran, Babylon, and the nations of the four directions, I never let anyone oppress any others, and if it occurs, And until I am the monarch, I will never let anyone take possession of movable and landed properties of the others by force or without compensation. Until I am alive, I Today, I announce that everyone is free to choose a religion. People are free to live in all regions and take up a job provided that they never violate other's rights. No one could be penalized for his or her relatives' faults. I prevent slavery and my governors and subordinates are obliged to prohibit exchanging men and women as slaves within their own ruling domains. I implore to God (Ahura-Mazda) to make me succeed in fulfilling my obligations to the nations of Iran (Persia), Babylon, and the ones of the four directions." This document has been hailed as the first charter of human rights, and in 1971 the United Nations published translations of it in all the official U.N. languages.
