Narges Mohammadi's unwavering dedication to human rights in Iran has led to her unjust imprisonment.
As an Iranian human rights activist and Nobel laureate, she has fearlessly fought against the oppression of women and advocated for the abolition of the death penalty.
Now, her family and friends are demanding her urgent release alongside countless others detained in Iran to support of a future where human rights defenders are protected and respected.
In solidarity we are calling for:
1) The immediate and unconditional release of Narges Mohammadi and other human rights defenders incarcerated for their human rights work.
2) For Iranian authorities to respect the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly and allow human rights defenders to operate without fear of reprisals.
3) For Iranian authorities to stop carrying out new arrests of lawyers, journalists, human rights defenders, and cracking down critical voices.
The state of civic space in Iran, as categorized by the CIVICUS Monitor, remains closed, reflecting a dire situation for human rights defenders.
Join thousands of others and send an urgent tweet to Iranian authorities demanding accountability, justice and freedom for Narges Mohammadi.
