The 9th of April (1980) marks the anniversary of the execution and martyrdom of Amina Bint Al-Huda Al-Sadr (1937–1980) and her brother Üstad Şeyhid Muhammed Baqir Al-Sadr.
Their execution and death together with hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis was marked by International silence from all the renowned world bodies and human rights organisations and those institutions that talk empty words about democracy and justice or shed crocodile tears for the victims of oppression and tyranny. It is only now that the world has come to realise the magnitude of the calamity of the loss of all these departed souls.
Remarkably however, exactly 23 years later on the same day marks the collapse and downfall of Saddam’s Baath’s regime on April 9th 2003.
Amina (Bint Al-Huda) was a prominent Iraqi educator, author, and activist who was executed alongside her brother, Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr, by Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist regime in April 1980. A, prominent voice for women's education and Islamic activism, she was arrested after a brutal, months-long siege and murdered after torture on April 9, 1980.
Background and Activity
* Role: Known as the "Rose of Resistance," Bint al-Huda was a key figure in building Islamic awareness among Iraqi women.
* Activism: She wrote stories and articles for magazines such as Al-Adhwa that addressed contemporary challenges for women, emphasizing education and faith.

House Arrest
* Al-Sadr issued an edict proclaiming the Ba’ath party as an atheist apostate (Kafir) and banned its membership or any affiliation to it. Despite being put under intense pressure and harassment he refused to withdraw his comments and they were both put under strict house arrest. They were subsequently prohibited to have any contact with the outside world, even with their neighbours, and were eventually starved.

However, during their house arrest Mohammed Baqir Al-Sadr issued three calls to the Iraqi people to rise up. But they were only released following his death.

* Impact: The death of herself and her brother was seen as a deliberate act by Saddam to crush the pinnacle figures of the opposition to his tyranny and stifled religious and philosophical debate on the progression of modern society.
