: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)
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.
