TEHRAN – In response to the recent aggression against Iranian soil and the martyrdom of several children and teenagers, a multilingual art collection titled “To Which Sin?" (Be Kodamin Gonah?) has been released in Persian, Arabic, and English.

The project, unveiled by the Soore-ye Omid Institute, aims to narrate the innocence of child victims of war and reflect their plight in the international arena following the recent attacks by the Zionist regime and the United States.

The collection utilizes various artistic formats, including graphic posters and video productions, to give a voice to the silent children who lost their lives in the conflict. The title of the series is a direct reference to the Quranic verse, "For what sin was she killed?" —a historical and spiritual inquiry into the suffering of the innocent.

A significant portion of the project features posters dedicated to martyred students, including tributes to more than 160 students from Shajareh Tayyebah elementary school in Minab, a city in Hormozgan Province. While these works have already garnered significant attention on social media, the organizers emphasize that the scope of "To Which Sin?" transcends any single region, seeking to provide a broader narrative of all children victimized by global arrogance and war.

The creators of the collection believe that in an era where media narratives are often subject to distortion and censorship, art serves as a universal and impactful language. They view these works as visual documents that record the truth and invite the global audience to reflection and empathy.

According to the project’s mission statement, the collection is not merely a set of posters but an artistic endeavor to commemorate the innocence of those sacrificed to violence. The narrative is deeply rooted in the culture of Ashura and the martyrdom of Ali Asghar (AS), carrying an underlying message of steadfastness and hope.

The "To Which Sin?" project is set to continue its expansion, with new visual and video content currently in production for international distribution across various media platforms.

The martyrdom of Ali Asghar (AS), the six-month-old son of Imam Hussain (AS), is the most tragic symbol of the Karbala epic. Slain by a poisoned arrow while his father sought water to quench his extreme thirst, the infant became the youngest martyr of Ashura. His sacrifice stands as a timeless testament to absolute innocence in the face of cruelty. 

Following the Zionist regime and the U.S's a coordinated attack on February 28, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, was martyred. Also, in a deadly strike on a girls’ school in southern Iran — Shajareh Tayyebah elementary school in Minab, a city in Hormozgan Province, 168 children were martyred and 95 were injured. 

In response, Operation “True Promise 4” has begun and will continue until the defeat of enemies.
