Please Help Save This Girls LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am reposting this for a good friend!!! Please do what you can!!!
Dear Friends,
On January 3, 2006, 18-year-old Nazanin Mahabad Fatehi was sentenced to death for murder by court in Iran after she stabbed one of three men who attempted to rape her and her 16-year-old niece in a park in Karaj a suburb of Tehran) in March 2005. She was seventeen at the time. Iran is signatory to international treaties which forbid them to execute any one under the age of 18; however they continue to do so. The injustice of this case led me to take immediate action and start a petition to help save the life of my namesake. The petition now has over 200,000 signatures from around the world. To sign the petition click here.
On June 1st 2006, the Head of Judiciary Ayatollah Shahroudi announced a stay of execution and the call for a complete new retrial. Nazanin Fatehi's retrial will take place January 10th, 2007.
Please re-post this wherever you can in order to spread the word about her case and the plight of other women in similar circumstances such as Delareh Darabi, Kobra Rahmanpour, Ashraf Kalhori, Fatemeh Haghighat-Pajouh and Malak Ghorbani and continue to pressure the Iranian Government to free these women.
