Subject: URGENT: Sakineh will be executed on Nov 3 - Join us to save her life

ACT NOW
 
PLEASE NOTE: WE WILL BE GATHERING AT THE EMBASSY OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN IN PARIS AT 2PM (4 Avenue d'Iéna 75116 Paris) AND MARCHING TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT IN BRUSSELS. JOIN US. WE MUST SAVE SAKINEH’S LIFE AND SECURE HER FREEDOM AND THAT OF HER SON, LAWYER AND THE TWO GERMAN JOURNALISTS. AND WE MUST END STONING NOW!
 
According to news received by the International Committee against Stoning and International Committee against Execution on 1 November 2010, the authorities in Tehran have given the go ahead to Tabriz prison for the execution of Iran stoning case Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani. It has been reported that she is to be executed this Wednesday 3 November.
 
We had previously reported that the casefile regarding the murder case of Ms Ashtiani’s husband had been seized from her lawyer’s office, Houtan Kian, and found missing from the prosecutor’s Oskoo branch office so as to stitch Ms Ashtiani up with trumped up murder charges.  [Another man has already served a prison sentence and is now free for her husband’s murder.]  Ms Ashtiani’s son, Sajjad Ghaderzadeh, and her lawyer, Houtan Kian, have warned of the regime’s plan to do so on many occasions. With the arrest of Ms Ashtiani’s son and lawyer on 10 October and her not having had any visitation rights since 11 August and after fabricating a new case against her, the “Human Rights Commission” of the regime has announced that: ‘according to the existing evidence, her guilt has been confirmed.’ In fact, the regime has created a new scenario in order to expedite her execution.
 
In other news, Sajjad Ghaderzadeh and Houtan Kian have been severely tortured in order to obtain confessions against Sakineh and themselves since their arrests on 10 October along with two German journalists. The initial interrogations by the Ministry of Intelligence have now been completed and the casefile sent to the National Prosecutor General and Judiciary Spokesperson, Mohsen-Ejehi, in Tehran rather than being handled in Tabriz. Their families are concerned for their wellbeing. When attempting to secure lawyers for the two, authorities have said that the two men did not need legal representation.
 
Sajjad and Houtan Kian’s only ‘crime’ has been to defend Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani and proclaim her innocence with facts and evidence. That their contact with Mina Ahadi is considered a crime is absurd given that Ahadi has been contacted by death row prisoners and their families and lawyers for many years now, including directly from prison. This is because of her many years of work against stoning and executions.
 
The International Committees against Stoning and Execution call on international bodies and the people of the world to come out in full force against the state-sponsored murder of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani.  Ms Ashtiani, Sajjad Ghaderzadeh, Houtan Kian and the two German journalists must be immediately and unconditionally released. 
 
ACT NOW!
 
1. Contact government officials, MPs, MEPs, and the UN asking them to intervene urgently. Governments must immediately summon the Islamic Republic of Iran’s ambassadors and demand that Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani’s execution be stopped and that she along with her son, Sajjad Ghaderzadeh, and lawyer, Houtan Kian, and the two German journalists be immediately released.
 
2. Send letters of condemnation to the Islamic regime of Iran right away:

Press Release number 86

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani still faces execution
Global protests must continue
3 November 2010

According to reports received today, global protests have managed to
prevent the execution of Iran stoning case Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani as
of now. However the threat of imminent execution remains.

A global public outcry immediately followed news of her impending
execution on 3 November, which was reported on by all major media
outlets. Tens of interviews took place with Mina Ahadi, Spokesperson of
the International Committees against Stoning and Execution, Iran
Solidarity Spokesperson Maryam Namazie, and other campaigners. Millions
took immediate action worldwide by sending letters of protest to the
Islamic Republic of Iran and other governments calling for immediate
action. A number of governments, including the French, Italian, Swedish,
and US and the European Parliament and European Union responded at once
and demanded that her execution be stopped. There were a number of
demonstrations on 2 November, including in Berlin, Brussels, London,
Paris, Rome and Washington, DC.

Once again, the Islamic Republic of Iran clearly saw the widespread
global reaction to its decision to execute Ms Ashtiani and did not go
ahead with her execution.

Ms Ashtiani's execution, however, is still imminent. This is clear from
the Islamic Republic of Iran's response to protesting governments. The
Committees have received reports that the highest court has sent the
order for her execution to Tabriz prison; she could therefore be
executed at any time.

The International Committees against Stoning and Execution salute
protesting people worldwide that called for an end to Ms Ashtiani's
execution. It is as a result of public outcry that Ms Ashtiani is still
alive today.

We ask that people continue their protests, exerting pressure on
governments and the Islamic Republic of Iran and highlighting her
situation until her execution is officially rescinded and she is
released along with her son, Sajjad, her lawyer, Houtan Kian, and the
two German journalists arrested on 10 October 2010.
