Iran - Immediate release human rights defender Narges Mohammadi
URGENT ACTION
TEHRAN — An Iranian appeals court has confirmed a
16-year sentence for one of Iran’s most prominent women’s rights activists, her
lawyer said Wednesday.
The activist, Narges Mohammadi, 44, a human rights
lawyer, has been in and out of jail over the past 15 years and has had several
confrontations with Iran’s hard-line dominated judiciary. Her arrest in 2015
and conviction a year later were severe blows to Iran’s small and embattled
community of women’s rights activists, highlighting the severe pressures they
face.
“She has committed no crime and has just been doing
her job as a lawyer and citizen,” said Nasrin Sotoudeh, a human rights lawyer
and prominent activist who spent two years in prison but who was granted an
early release in 2013.
Ms. Sotoudeh characterized her colleague as a
law-abiding citizen who defended victims of acid attacks and voted while in
prison during the 2015 parliamentary elections. “Every day Narges is behind
bars is one too many,” Ms. Sotoudeh said.

LETTER
Object: Immediate release human rights defender Narges
Mohammadi
Your Excellency,
I would like to
take the opportunity to call your attention to the case of Ms Narges Mohammadi.
An Appeals Court
has upheld the 16-year prison sentence. She will become eligible for release
after serving 10 years in prison.
Ms Narges
Mohammadi suffers from a chronic illness that causes partial paralysis, which
has worsened due to her imprisonment.
I ask the
Iranian government the his immediate and unconditional release.
Ms Narges
Mohammadi is an innocent woman.
Thanking you in
advance for your time on this important and urgent matter.
Yours sincerely.
