URGENT, VERY URGENT:
Nasrin Sotoudeh's life is in real Danger
There are
examples of hunger strikers dying after ~50 days of strike.
(Today is
Nasrin's 40th day of hunger strike)
Nasrin Sotoudeh (Persian: نسرین ستوده, also
spelled Sotoodeh) is a human rights lawyer in Iran. She has represented
imprisoned Iranian opposition activists and politicians following the
disputed June 2009
Iranian presidential elections as well
as prisoners sentenced to death for crimes committed when they were minors. Her clients have included journalist Isa Saharkhiz, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, and Heshmat Tabarzadi, the head of
the banned opposition group Democratic Front of Iran.
Sotoudeh was arrested in September 2010 on charges of spreading propaganda
and conspiring to harm state security and was imprisoned in solitary
confinement in Evin Prison.
In January 2011, Iranian authorities sentenced Sotoudeh to 11 years in
prison, in addition to barring her from practicing law and from leaving the
country for 20 years. An appeals court later reduced Sotoudeh's prison sentence
to six years, and her ban from working as a lawyer to ten years.
On 17 October 2012, she began a hunger strike that still keeps that. And
now, her life is in danger.
