Lawyer and mother of two, Nasrin Sotoudeh, has been sentenced to six years in prison and is suffering ill health.
Over 40 action groups have organised Write for Rights events and 125 events are being hosted around Australia.
Thanks for everyone’s hard work in achieving this!
If you haven’t registered an event, it’s not too late to host one with your group, friends or workplace.
Nasrin Sotoudeh
Reza Khandan, Nasrin Sotoudeh's husband, has reported that Nasrin Sotoudeh ended her hunger strike yesterday after the 'judicial restrictions' on their daughter were lifted. Nasrin had spent 49 days living on just salt-water and sugar-water.
The lifting of the restrictions on Nasrin's daughter, Mehraveh Khandan, is one of the calls in her Write for Rights action. Thank you to everyone who has taken action so far - your pressure on the authorities has helped make this happen. Over 25,000 emails, aerograms and petitions targeting the Iranian authorities have been sent in the past two and a half weeks.
Nasrin Sotoudeh should never have been imprisoned in the first place, and we are still calling for her immediate and unconditional release. Please keep up the pressure on Iranian authorities by sending through the petitions and aerograms. We are sending these off every few days to the targets - the latest batch left this morning.
