Stop her execution - Free Pakhshan!

She spent years supporting women and children in refugee camps in Syria, dedicating her life to peaceful humanitarian and human rights work.

Now she’s facing death by hanging.

Iranian intelligence agents disappeared Kurdish social worker Pakhshan Azizi, held her in solitary confinement for months, and tortured her. Pakhshan managed to get a letter out last summer, describing her ‘interrogations’: they would repeatedly hang her, or bury her 10 metres underground – then pull her back up. The horror is unimaginable. Now, following a bogus trial, Iran sentenced Pakhshan to death.

We still have time to save her!

Human rights activists are calling on people across the world to protest and demand Pakhshan's release. Join this urgent call to Iran's Head of Judiciary now! When our call gets massive, we’ll deliver our demands through smart ads and media pressure - showing Iran’s authorities that the world is watching.
