Save Kobra Campaign

Report no.3

Increase in our international activities

The Campaign to save Kobra’s life

We have informed you of our activities in previous reports. In recent days we have tried to increase the international aspects of our campaign.

In continuing this campaign, we tried to reach international human rights bodies as much as we could. This includes representatives of Amnesty in different countries, official news Medias like publications and largely-circulated newspapers, and governments in Europe and America. We informed them with faxing Kobra’s father letter and the families request to meet with UN representative in Tehran on Sunday. This letter and request have also reached the United Nations office in Tehran.

Nazanin Afshin-Jam, winner of this year’s human rights prize of United Nations, has continuously participated In “Save Kobra’s life” campaign. She has succeeded to inform the United Nations offices in New York, Geneva, and Tehran about the situation of Kobra’s case and the gathering of families of execution convicts. They have also promised their co-operation and tried to keep United Nations authorities of Tehran in their office after 5o clock (their official work time in Tehran) so families can meet them. Nazanin Afshin Jam has also participated in a demonstration that was held today in Vancouver, Canada and has given a speech there. She has also opened a section about Kobra in the website, Helpnazanin.com, which is dedicated to the campaign for saving Nazanin Fatehi. The address to that section can be found at our blog, http://www.save-kobra.blogfa.com/

The letters of Kobra and her father has been translated by campaign activists to French and German and vast supports for the campaign have been declared in several European cities.

We have also connected several Medias and asked them to be present in front of United Nations office in Tehran on Sunday to cover the families gathering.

In addition, we have produced a few numbers of posters in Persian and English for campaign activists to use on Sunday. These posters can be found on the campaign blog and we request all of you to circulate them and to bring to the gathering in front of United Nations. Our effort has been put to keep the size of posters low and for them to be easily printable. We again ask all of you to particiapate in the gathering with friends and families.

Don’t forget to send us the reports and photos of the Sunday gathering for the Campaign.

Since there is a little time before the gathering we demand all websites to put this in their first page.
