Iran: an international call to save the life of Reyhaneh
Friends and sympathizers are called to congregate today, Oct. 5th in front of the prison where she is being held. Participants are asked to bring a flower and a candle to place outside the prison wall to let Reyhaneh know that she is not alone. Rayhaneh has been in prison since 7 years ago for defending her honour. The man who attempted to rape Rayhaneh is being said to have been an Iranian regime's intelligent agents. The Iranian regime tried to get a forced confession out of Reyhaneh by torturing her in prison. The Iranian regime's law allows the families of victims to get involved emotionally and forgive the accused if they wish. This makes it harder to prove one's innocence.
The Iranian Canadians in their weekly protest in front of US embassy here in Ottawa protested the execution verdict of Reyhaneh Jabbari and the political prisoner Ayatollah Broujerdi who does not believe in the Velayat-e Faghi system that the mullahs have currently in Iran.
