Nika & Nava are two living martyrs of the Faith. Every moment of your suffering is being witnessed by the Concourse on High and ultimately you will be rewarded. The injustices and cruelty of the Islamic Government of Iran will also forever be written and remembered in history and God will serve justice to the evil doers.
