Your Excellency Ayatollah Khamenei,
We would like to take the opportunity to call your attention to the case of Iranian lawyer Narges Mohammadi.
Mrs Narges Mohammadi has been repeatedly hospitalised since being imprisoned in May 2015. She is critically ill, suffering from a pulmonary embolism and a neurological disorder that has resulted in seizures and temporary partial paralysis.
In September 2016, Branch 26 of the Tehran Appeals Court upheld a 16-year prison sentence against Mohammadi for the charges of: membership in the Defenders of Human Rights Center, assembly and collusion against national security, and for propaganda against the state.
Ms. Narges Mohammadi has received many awards for her work as a human rights activist in Iran.
Ms Mohammadi won the 2009 Alexander Langer award for her human rights activities, especially her efforts to end the death penalty for juvenile offenders in Iran.
In 2016 he received the Human Rights Award of the German city of Weimar.
In 2018 he received the Andrei Sakharov Prize from the American Physical Society.
Mrs Narges Mohammadi is an innocent woman.
We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Ms. Mohammadi.
We thank you in advance for your time on this important and urgent matter.
Yours sincerely.
