URGENT, VERY
URGENT:
There are examples of hunger
strikers dying after ~50 days of strike.
(Today is Nasrin's 40th day of
hunger strike)
Nasrin
Sotoudeh (Persian: نسرین ستوده, also spelled Sotoodeh) is a human
rights lawyer in Iran. She has represented
imprisoned Iranian opposition activists and politicians following the
disputed June 2009
Iranian presidential elections as well as prisoners
sentenced to death for crimes committed when they were minors. Her
clients have included journalist Isa Saharkhiz, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, and Heshmat Tabarzadi, the head of
the banned opposition group Democratic Front of Iran.
Sotoudeh was
arrested in September 2010 on charges of spreading propaganda and conspiring to
harm state security and was
imprisoned in solitary
confinement in Evin Prison.
In January
2011, Iranian authorities sentenced Sotoudeh to 11 years in prison, in addition
to barring her from practicing law and from leaving the country for 20 years.
An appeals court later reduced Sotoudeh's prison sentence to six years, and her
ban from working as a lawyer to ten years.
On 17 October
2012, she began a hunger strike that still keeps that. And now, her life is in
danger.
