Unwritten Lives

To all governments engaged in diplomacy with Iran: Narges Mohammadi could die in Iranian prison, and your governments have the power to help save her. We call on you to use every diplomatic channel and negotiation with Iran to demand immediate and unconditional release for Narges, transfer to her own medical team for lifesaving treatment, and freedom for all political prisoners in Iran. We urge you to act now — before it’s too late. Sign the petition to help save Narges
