#Pardon Pakhshan Azizi

[martynrandles]

Free Pakhshan Azizi: we demand a pardon for the Iranian humanitarian activist.

The story of Pakhshan Azizi, an Iranian activist and humanitarian worker, touches us deeply.

Azizi, sentenced to death by an Iranian court after being accused of ‘rebellion’, is currently detained in Evin prison in Tehran.

Her arrest took place in August 2023, in what Amnesty International denounced as a ‘grossly unfair’ trial. Azizi, like many other courageous women activists, is in total isolation, subjected to a harsh prison regime.

The prison in Evin is the same one where journalist Cecilia Sala was detained, thanks to whom we now all know that there are hundreds of women, like Azizi, imprisoned simply because they dared to peacefully voice their dissent against the regime. Sala's words encourage us: ‘Let us not leave them alone, let us help them! We can!’

It is time to join forces and demand that Pakhshan Azizi be pardoned and released from prison, affirming the universal right to freedom of expression.

We cannot allow the repression and violation of human rights to continue unnoticed.

For this reason, international attention can make a difference and every signature can help save Azizi's life.

We demand that Iranian humanitarian activist Pakhshan Azizi be pardoned and released from prison. Please sign this petition!
