Your Excellency Re: Arrest of women human rights defenders during a peaceful protest
I am writing to condemn the arbitrary arrest of women human rights defenders on 4 March 2007 during a peaceful gathering outside the Revolutionary Court in Tehran and who have launched a hunger strike in protest against their detention. They face charges of “acting against national security by participating in an illegal gathering” and “propaganda against the state.” Three of the thirty three women arrested on Sunday have been released.
