Life in Balance: The Case of Shiva Nazar Ahari

Take Immediate Action!


Shiva Nazar-Ahari, a 26-year-old Iranian journalist and human rights defender, has been charged with moharebeh, rebellion against god (Article 186 of the Iranian Penal Code). The charge carries the death penalty. She is also being accused of "propaganda against the Regime" (Article 500) and “assembly and collusion to commit a crime" (Article 610).

Amnesty International, the international human rights organization, is urging everyone to write in support of Ahari before September 15, 2010. They report that “She [Shiva] has been in solitary confinement for much of the time. In February 2010 she told her family by phone that she had been placed in a ‘cage-like’ solitary confinement cell where she could not move her arms and legs. She has had only limited access to her family.”

Heidi Hautala, chairwomen of the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights, decried the situation, "There are serious grounds to believe that Shiva is being targeted because of her human rights advocacy and her arrest is the most horrific attempt to silence her. The authorities must let her go immediately." Ahari is spokesperson of the Committee of Human Rights Reporters of Iran and a steadfast activist specializing in child labor and defense of political prisoners. Previously a graduate student of civil engineering, Ahari was expelled from university because of her student activism.

Send letters of protest BEFORE September 15TH to:

Shiva Nazar Ahari: is protesting bad government enmity with God?
Posted by Anonymous on Wed, 2010-09-15 00:33

The prophet Issa, as Muslims know Jesus the Messiah, said, "Judge not, lest you be judged. For with whatever measure you judge, by that measure you will be judged." Has Shiva Nazar Ahari been charged with moharebeh because she protested against actions by Iranian government officials? If so, these officials have made themselves equal with God, and have committed the most egregious form of blasphemy.

The Iranian courts must be very careful with this. Perhaps it is God's will that S. N. Ahari point out wrong-doing by those who claim to act in God's name. If the courts are unjust and permit her to be mistreated, they will be accomplices in the crimes she protests.
