Received via e-mail from Code Pink and the Feminist Peace Network has signed on to be a partner in this action:
Last week, the offices of Nobel Laureate and Human Rights activist Shrin Ebadi were shut down in Tehran. The Center for Participation in Clearing Mine Areas and Defenders of Human Rights Center were shut down with no explanation or written justification illegally just hours before a 60th anniversary of Human Rights Day celebration there. Ebadi was also briefly taken into custody. You can read more about the incident here.
We have created an online petition to President Ahmadinejad asking for him to stand up for human rights by allowing the centers to re-open and by allowing women’s and human rights activists to continue their work freely and safely in Iran.
Sign the petition here. The petition will be delivered to the Iranian Embassy tomorrow–so sign it now!Please help us with this last-minute request to spread the petition far and wide. There are plenty of ways you can help:
* Send the petition to your email list or listserv
* Let us know if we can add your group to the list of Partners
