| The verdict for
the arrested Iranian Jews shocked the Jewish community the world
over. While we were relieved that 3 Iranian Jews who were released
on bail were acquitted, we are outraged that 10 innocent Iranian Jews
were unjustly dealt harsh prison sentences, ranging from 4 - 13
years. Below please find a
petition on behalf of the Iran 10 that is being circulated in
Jewish communities all over. We urge you to submit your
name and address to the form below. Our goal is to amass
over one million signatures to submit collectively to the Iranian
Government, to protest this miscarriage of justice. |
TO:
Ayatolah Seyed Ali Khameini, Leader of the Revolution
President Mohamed Khatami
As the case of the ten Jews in Iran moves to appeal, we the
undersigned, urge their immediate release. After an extended trial, it
is clear that there is no substance for the charges against them. It
is long overdue that the suffering of the defendants, their families and the
entire Jewish community in Iran be ended. The world is watching and
will judge Iran's commitment to the rule of law by its conduct in this
case.
Please submit your name to add
to our petition list.
Please print out copies of
this petition and mail in completed sheets to:
