On the 8th anniversary of Saeed Malekpour’s arrest, Amnesty International has launched an Appeal for Saeed Malekpour calling on the Iranian authorities to release him immediately and quash his conviction and sentence. As his allegations of torture and other ill-treatment have so far gone uninvestigated, Amnesty International is also calling on the Iranian authorities to order a prompt, independent, impartial investigation into his allegations of torture and other ill-treatment and bring to justice anyone suspected of responsibility in a fair trial without recourse to the death penalty.
We would like to urge you to please send appeals to the officials listed in the Appeal Case sheet. Please send them via the Iranian diplomatic representatives accredited to your country. If there is no Iranian diplomatic mission in your country, please send them to Iran’s mission to the UN in New York, the address of which is included in the case sheet.
Please send appeals by post, e-mail and Twitter messages and letters in English, Persian, French, Spanish or Arabic.
