A Call to Action and for Support

The Campaign to Free Bahareh Hedayat


Join us for the Campaign 10 Days with Bahareh Hedayat on the Occasion of
March 8th, International Womens Day
The Campaign Ten Days with Bahareh, will commence on March 8, and aims to
raise awareness about the situation of Bahareh Hedayat, a womens rights and
student rights activist and a founding member of the One Million Signatures
Campaign. Each of the ten days will be dedicated to one aspect of Baharehs
activism, her life or her situation in prison. This Campaign has been launched by
womens rights and student rights activists in objection to a ten year sentence
issued in the case of Bahareh, in relation to her peaceful activism and her
demand for the most basic of human rights.
We hope that during these ten days we will be able to raise awareness around
her situation among the Iranian public, Iranian authorities and the international
community. In accordance with Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code of Iran,
Bahareh is eligible for release after serving half of her sentence. Four and half
years of the 10 year sentence issued in her case have been served thus far,
which makes her close to eligible for conditional release. Further her declining
health condition in prison makes her release of greater urgency. In this
Campaign, we call out to the Iranian authorities to take measures to release her
immediately and unconditionally.
Join us and on the occasion of March 8th and stand with Bahareh for 10 days, by
joining this Campaign. Ten years is not just a statistic, it is a lifetime. Free
Bahareh.
