Angel of Liberty – Mahsa Amini



Name a place, a street, a sculpture, a square, “Mahsa Amini“, asked global women’s movement.

The ‘Angel of Liberty’ Mahsa Amini, is one of many responses.

“Mahsa Amini, like Neda Agha-Soltan in 2009, has become the face of massive on-going protests for freedom in Iran,” says renown sculptor Paula B Slater.

Name a street, sculpture, place, square, “Mahsa Amini”

Ms. Slater unveiled a plaster casting of the bust at a sold-out event sponsored by the American Iranian Women’s Foundation held in San Francisco Sunday 16 October.

In a few weeks a bronze sculpture of Mahsa Amini will be completed from the mold which produced this clay bust, created by sculptor Paula Slater.

“I have sculpted a beautifully detailed life size portrait bust of Mahsa Amini, ‘Angel of Liberty’,” wrote Paula B. Slater in an email.

Can we stop these rapists and killers? RINJ Women in Iran declared war on Khamenei-ordered femicides. Ali Khamenei and Ebrahim Raisi are serial killers on a rampage that started with Mahsa Amini. They must be stopped. Daily, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran are raping and killing women and schoolgirls. Can we stop this, please. Women are humans too and deserve the right to life.


Protesting the murder of Mahsa Amini are women, schoolgirls and their male supporters in Iran for whom the murder of Mahsa Amini over a headscarf was the last straw in a string of theocratic femicides that have persisted for 43 years under the Islamic theocratic kleptocracy of two so-called supreme leaders who turned out to be sick-minded misogynistic murderers and common thieves. These evil men have bilked the Iranian people while raping and murdering their daughters. Mahsa Amini was a daughter of God and she with God’s blessings has become an Angel of Liberty.

“Sculpting bronze portraits is my specialty and in 2009, I sculpted the historic bronze portraits of Neda Agha-Soltan and Sohrab Aarabi to support the Iranian protests,” explained sculptor Paula B Slater.

“I felt called again to sculpt the portrait of Mahsa Amini. A plaster cast was just unveiled at the Iranian American Women Foundation Conference in San Francisco to a standing ovation. The mold is now at the bronze foundry. I would love for Mahsa’s family to see it and hope it will bring them comfort.”

“These evil men have bilked the Iranian people while raping and murdering their daughters. Mahsa Amini was a daughter of God and she with God’s blessings has become an Angel of Liberty,” said artist Rosa Yamamoto.
