It’s
shocking -- Iranian courts sentenced six people
to death over the mass protests that
have swept the country. This follows a brutal
crackdown that has left hundreds dead,
including children, and many more facing
torture, and unfair trials. We can’t
stay silent in a moment like this! Add
your voice calling on key world governments to
help stop the killings:

Dear
friends, |
|
It’s
shocking -- Iranian courts sentenced six 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 threatening
protesters with executions. 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:

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 UN Human
Rights Council just decided to create a
new fact-finding mission to investigate alleged
human rights violations in the Islamic Republic
of Iran related to the protests that
began on 16 September 2022.
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!
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
