Dear
friends, |
|
It’s
shocking -- Iranian courts sentenced five people
to death over the mass protests that
have swept through the
country.
Many more people are in
immediate danger. Journalists, human
rights defenders, university students, moms, and
schoolchildren have been murdered
-- and many of those arrested face
torture, enforced disappearance, and unfair
trials.
The regime is not
backing down, and is now even resorting
to public executions to crush the revolution. We
must stand with the people in
Iran!
Thousands of Iranians
continue to protest, and we can help them keep
the world’s attention on their struggle for
freedom and justice. Sign our urgent
petition now for world
governments to help stop these brutal
killings -- and we will bring our
voices straight into a crucial UN session today:

So
far, more than 300
demonstrators have been killed by the
government’s repression -- but the protests are
not stopping. More than 1,000
indictments have been issued in Tehran alone,
with hundreds more brought against people
arrested across the country.
The
US, the EU, the UK, and Canada have all adopted
human rights sanctions on Iranian
leaders and some institutions, but much more is
needed!
Today, the UN Human Rights
Council is holding a special session to discuss
the Iran protests. This could lead to
establishing an independent mechanism to
investigate and address the most serious human
rights violations committed in Iran
during the recent crackdown.
Global
solidarity is needed to echo the call for
freedom, and our support can help show
government leaders that the world stands with
the people in Iran. Join the campaign
to stop the bloodshed and share widely:

From
the brutal crackdowns in Tibet and Burma to the
Arab spring, over and over again, our community
has stood side by side with pro-democracy
movements. Now, let’s echo the call from all the
brave people in Iran who are being crushed for
wanting a government that brings justice,
equality, and freedom.
With hope and
determination,
Laura, Wissam, Fadi, Luis,
Abdelrahman, Joana, Huiting, and the whole Avaaz
