Front Line Defenders and the Campaign to Free Political Prisoners in Iran (CFPPI) call for the release of imprisoned child rights defenders in Iran.

The persecution of Iranian child rights defenders in particular demonstrates not only the regime’s contempt for civil society, but its refusal to protect the rights of Iranian children.On Universal Children’s Rights Day, help protect the rights of children by demanding freedom for their defenders.

Learn more about Atena and Saeed, read a letter penned by Saeed in Gohardasht Prison, share the images calling for their freedom, and sign the petition!
