Urgent Petition Backs Iranian Women's Rights Activist and Democrat

Petition website AVAAZ have launched an urgent petition. They report: " Iranian Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi was just rushed to hospital in critical condition -- but without massive pressure, she could soon be dragged back to an Iranian jail. After brutal beatings, a hunger strike, and a heart attack, she needs unconditional medical leave -- and fragile peace talks give us leverage to win her release. Iranian Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi has fearlessly defended women’s rights, fought bravely to stop executions, and inspired millions in her country and around the world.


Her activism has seen her thrown into jail by the Iranian regime -- and now her life hangs by a thread. Her family reports she has been brutally beaten - and she’s just suffered a suspected heart attack after a 3-month hunger strike. 


​​She’s been transferred to the hospital and a return to jail could kill her. But together, we could help win her freedom. Peace talks between Iran and the US are at a critical stage -- a massive burst of public attention now could push Tehran to free Narges.


Time is running out -- we need to make this huge. Add your name now, share with everyone you know, and let’s raise a massive call of solidarity for Narges, along with all Iran’s political prisoners.

Stand with Narges now!

​​​​The illegal US-Israeli attacks on Iran have prompted the regime to double down on their assault on activists. Many Iranians fear that far from being weakened, the regime has entrenched its position.


We cannot allow Iran's brave activists to pay the ultimate price. Narges is one of Iran’s most recognised political prisoners. If she is freed, it will be a major step forward for the thousands of protesters, journalists, women’s rights defenders, and activists also trapped behind bars.


Iran has provisions to free prisoners facing medical emergencies. With the world watching, her life hanging in the balance, and peace talks underway, we can help make it happen.


This is about building a world where peace and human rights are inseparable. Let's make this huge, demanding the immediate release of Narges and freedom for thousands of others unjustly imprisoned -- and deliver it to key governments who can influence Iran. Add your name now, and share with everyone!
