PAOV — This week, the UN’s Human Rights Council announced they will be investigating the events and unrest in Iran.

While this happens, thousands of people remain detained and at risk in prison in Iran for showing any signs of support for the protests that are calling for women’s freedom.

Hamed started a petition asking G7 leaders to demand the release of all political prisoners in Iran. The petition now has over 891,000 signatures from around the world.

Will you add your name to help it get to 1-million signatures, and make it impossible for world leaders to ignore?

895,550 have signed Hamed Esmaeilion’s petition. Let’s get to 1,000,000!

To the Honourable Foreign Ministers of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada and the United States, the G7 Group of Nations:

We, the founding members of Iranians for Justice and Human Rights, along with other co-signatories, hereby express our deepest concern about the developments in Iran over the past five weeks.

The brutal crackdown and violence by various forces of the Islamic regime in Iran in reaction to protests sparked by the Islamic regime’s killing of Mahsa Amini has resulted in countless deaths, injuries, and incarcerations. It is evident that the Islamic regime in Iran intends to continue and escalate the inhumane violence against its own citizens.

On October 15, troubling reports and video evidence emerged of shootings and a fire in Evin Prison, the notorious location in which many prisoners are incarcerated.

We are concerned that the lives of many prisoners of conscience (including but not limited to political prisoners, civic activists, artists, representatives of ethnic and religious groups, and labour unionists) and dual citizens held in that prison and other prisons across Iran are in grave danger.

We hereby demand that you:
(1) forcefully and unequivocally demand the release of all prisoners of conscience in Iran;

(2) immediately designate the ambassadors or other representatives of the Islamic regime in your countries, serving either within embassies or international institutions, personae non gratae and order their removal from your countries in protest to the illegal and inhumane treatment of protesters in Iran.

We’d love to hear from you! Contact us through our help centre.
