Petition to save Nazanin's life from Iranian Gallows

Submitted by Jaladhi (United States), Jan 11, 2006 at 16:03

While we are all concerned with the lunatic utterings of Iran's president, the country's mullahs are busy in giving a death sentence to an innocent 17 year old girl, Nazanin whose only crime was to defend herself and her niece from the rapists.

I would urge the readers of this website to read about this case on faithfreedom.org and sign a petition to UN to save this innocent human being's life.

One wonders if the Iranians are really interested in getting rid of the mullahs and their brand of justice as the west often claims. They have seen their rule for last 35 years or so and there is no sign that mullahs/ayatollahs will ever be thrown out. Then they elect the present president who is more Khomeni then Khomeni himself. May be the Iranians only want a theocratic rule and west's hope of bringing democracy to muslim world is merely a wishful thinking.
