Send e-Letters to IRI Embassies & Officials urging them to respect the rights of Shiva Nazar Ahari

Background
Shiva Nazar Ahari is a prominent Iranian human rights defender and a member of the Committee of Human Rights Reporters. She has been arrested several times by the IRI for her efforts in human rights advocacy. Shiva was marked a “starred” student and banned from continuing her education and completing her master’s in civil engineering. Only days after her 26th birthday in June 2010, while still imprisoned in Evin, Shiva Nazar Ahari learned she faced the extreme charge of “moharebeh” (enmity against God). Take action and urge the IRI authorities and world leaders to guarantee Shiva, and all other prisoners of conscience, a fair trial and a safe release.

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 27, 2010: Shiva Nazar Ahari has been sentenced to 6.5 years prison for trumped up charges. Read more here: http://united4iran.org/2010/09/ap-iran-sentences-rights-activist-shiva-nazar-ahari-to-6-years-in-jail/
