Developments this week have made publication of the Emergency Appeal to Free Iran’s Political Prisoners even more impactful – and even more urgent!

First, there’s been a COVID outbreak in the women’s wing of Evin Prison greatly endangering the lives of the many courageous political prisoners incarcerated there, including Nahid Taghavi.  So these political prisoners – and all of Iran’s political prisoners need our full support now!

Second,in the past week, prominent figures joined our outstanding list of signers inendorsing the Campaign’s Emergency Appeal and add significantly to its powerand impact.  They include  Professor Noam Chomsky, activist and public intellectual Cornel West, courageous whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, UC Berkeley professor and author Judith Butler, professor and Citizen Ambassador Free Rohingya Coalition Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, University of Toronto Professor Shahrzad Mojab and others.

So now is the time to donate generously and help raise the remaining $4,800 needed to publish The Lives of Iran’s Political Prisoners Hang in the Balance—We Must ACT Now as a full page ad in the New York Review of Books, which reaches a large, critical, international audience of writers, artists, intellectuals and thinking, caring people.

So let’s raise the last $4,800 and cross the finish line:  publishing the Emergency Appeal will boldly put the issue of Iran’s political prisoners in the public square, increase the pressure on Iran’s Islamic Republic to free them, and give heart to the prisoners, their loved ones, and millions of Iranians.
