These are innocent men!
We must take urgent action to save the lives of our brothers. Please raise awareness and sign the petition at: http://sonsofsunnah.com
The shia regime is brutal in its repression of prominent scholars and activists, with torture and execution a common occurence. Anyone found to be challenging the status quo in Iran can be labelled a 'Wahabbi', a crime punishable by death in Iran.
The current case of the seventeen prisoners is particularly worrying. Their convictions range from accusations of "acting against national security" to the vague charge of engaging in "religious activities". Two of the prisoners are facing execution after distributing CDs and materials about Sunnis. Many have been tortured repeatedly and forced to 'confess'.
Why are there separate petitions?
We understand it would be more convenient for us to only have to sign one petition. However, there are many reasons for having a separate petition for each prisoner, and we urge you to sacrifice a few extra minutes of your time to help save your brothers' lives.
The reasons for having separate petitions are very sad:
- Each prisoner is facing execution individually, and could be executed at any moment. If a prisoner is killed, the petition will contain 'outdated' information and could be disregarded by the relevant authorities.
- Unfortunately, more prisoners are likely to be added to death row, meaning that new petitions will have to be made anyway.
- The sentences the prisoners face are liable to change, and once again could lead to the petition having 'outdated' information.
Please take a few minutes to sign each petition. The process is fairly quick and easy (once you have filled out one petition your details are automatically filled in on the rest of the petitions, all you have to do is click each link and enter the security code). This is the least we can do to try and save the lives of these innocent men.
