The Iranian mother of teenager Pouria Nourmohammadi, one of two Iranians who boarded ill-fated Flight MH370 with stolen passports, has said she is grieving alone and is without news of the ongoing search and recovery operations.
According to CNN. the mother, who lives in Germany and who was not named in the report, claimed she was forced to shy away from briefings in Kuala Lumpur, where families of other passengers and crew are, at an almost daily basis, being fed information and updated on search efforts at the southern Indian Ocean.
This, she says, is because she is well aware that her son, aged 18, had broken the law by using a stolen passport to board the plane.
However, she defended her son's actions, saying Pouria “just wanted to explore his beautiful dreams".
“As a human being, as a mother, nobody thought of me. I am alone with no support except for God.
"Although he had a stolen passport, he was so young with many beautiful dreams. I'm a mother just like the Chinese mothers, and I want to know what happened too. I trust in God and whatever he wants will happen. But all 239 persons are the same, maybe somebody doesn't believe that,” she was quoted as saying on her Facebook page.
Pouria ( right ), together with 29-year-old Delavar Syed Mohammad Reza, had boarded Malaysia Airlines (MAS) MH370 using stolen Austrian and Italian passports respectively.
A MAS representative, quoted by CNN , said the airlines was not in contact with the mother as their case is still in the hands of the investigators despite the duo having been cleared of any terrorism links in connection with the Boeing 777-200ER’s disappearance on March 8.
They are suspected to have been asylum seekers, with Pouria believed to be trying to migrate to Germany, where his mother was awaiting his arrival.
"I dedicated my life to my sons, and all I wanted was for them to be happy in their life. I wanted them to live a free life. I had prayed that I would see him again, but that didn't happen. We will see each other in eternity now.
"From the moment I became a mother, all I wanted and asked from God was to not see my children die before me. But of course that didn't happen," she wrote on the popular social networking site.
