STOP THE EXECUTION OF HAJIEH ESMAILWAND

To:  United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights

STOP THE EXECUTION OF HAJIEH ESMAILWAND


According to reports, Hajieh Esmailvand was sentenced to five years imprisonment, to be followed by execution by stoning, for adultery with an unnamed man who at the time was a 17 year old minor. Although the exact date of her arrest and trial are not known, it is reported that she has been imprisoned in the town of Jolfa, in the north west of Iran, since January 2000.


Having committed an act of adultery, Hajieh Esmailwand, has been convicted to a death through stoning. This conviction shall take place in a very near future. There is not much time left to save her life.


Hearing such unpleasant news could be painful to the one’s heart and soul. Projecting such inhuman pictures, far from legally permitted international human rights, could be only imagined an act committed by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

We should act now in order to save the life of Hajieh and thousands of other women as victims.

Hajeh, Atefeh, Kobra, Lyla, and……… these women are all guilty of being women imprisoned in the most frightening situations or have been convicted to the death penalties.

The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves no human rights for women and the Iranian women’s personalities are being suppressed every day more and more under the heavy laws and regulations made.

In the name of the Humanity and the respect for all the humans and according to the International regulations, we should stand up to save Hajieh’s life.

We, signed below, request the Amnesty International and other International Human Rights organizations to demand immediate cancellation of such actions of death through stoning, tortures or other forms of executions committed by the Islamic Republic of Iran against any human being, Hajieh Esmailwand and all other Iranian women.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
