Raise Your
Voice Against the Imminent Execution
of Afsaneh Nouroozi in Iran
Afsaneh Nouroozi was arrested
in 1997 after she killed the
Head of Police Intelligence in
Kish, Southern Iran. She
allegedly acted in
self-defense in order to
protect herself from being
raped. Afsaneh Nouroozi is now
at imminent risk of execution
after the death sentence
against her was upheld by the
Supreme Court. The Supreme
Leader of Iran, Ayatollah
Sayed 'Ali Khamenei, is the
only authority able to grant
clemency at this stage.
