THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE AGAINST EXECUTION 

       كميته بين المللى عليه اعدام

Appeal fund for the release of Nazanin Fatehi

& latest news on her situation

Nazanin, the Iranian teenager under a sentence of death, was acquitted, but the Islamic authorities are demanding that her family pay blood money (so called ‘diye’).  This callous and reactionary behaviour must be condemned.  If anybody is to pay damages, it should be the Islamic Republic, for the psychological and physical torment that it has inflicted on Nazanin by and during her imprisonment.  Nazanin’s lawyers have also protested against the demand for blood money.

Meanwhile, on Monday Nazanin’s defence lawyers found out from the Prosecutors’ Office that Nazanin could be released on payment of a bail of 4 million Toman (around US$40,000).

To raise such a huge sum is beyond the means of Nazanin’s family.  We are therefore reaching out for help to all those who helped win Nazanin’s campaign.  We call on all concerned individuals and human rights organisations in Iran and around the world to contribute to the special fund that has been set up for this purpose.

You may pay your contributions to any of the following accounts:

We call on everyone to help so the campaign to save Nazanin succeeds fully, and we can celebrate her release.  By paying the bail we will be able to return Nazanin to the warm embrace of her family.
