Here is 27-year old Zeinab Jalalian’s letter to the world, pleading for help:

Dear Human Rights Organisations:

My name is Ms Zeinab Jalalian (زینب جلالیان). I am a 27-year-old Kurdish female political prisoner in prison in Iran. My death sentence was confirmed by the Iranian Supreme Court.

I am currently ill because of torture and I don’t have any lawyer to defend me. I want to tell you that my trial took only few minutes. The Court told me: “You are an enemy of God. You must be hanged very soon.” That was the sum of my entire court process. I asked the judge to give me permission to say good bye to my mother and family before my execution. He told me to “shut up” and rejected my request.

Sample letter to npillay@ohchr.org

I am writing to you with an urgent request that you intervene with the authorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran, who are preparing to execute female Kurdish political prisoner Ms. Zeinab Jalalian. Multilateral organizations such as the UN have thus far refused to step in and put a halt to the criminal actions perpetrated by the Islamic Republic. You must step in and demand a halt to this and other ongoing criminal and barbaric proceedings in the Islamic Republic.

The UN and all other bilateral and multilateral organizations remained silent during the 1988 prison massacres in Iran, where thousands of political prisoners like Ms. Jalalian were secretly executed and buried in mass graves. We will not stand by and allow the silence and inaction of our international organizations to cover over these ongoing crimes. We demand action now. Those who stay silent in the face of these atrocities will be judged harshly by history, if not by an international court of justice.

Sincerely,
[your name]
