@amnesty is outraged that Iran’s authorities sentenced to death LGBTI rights defender Zahra Sedighi-Hamadani & another woman Elham Choubdar for “corruption on earth”.
@amnesty ’s concerned their convictions & sentences are based on discriminatory reasons tied to the women’s real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity & for Zahra Sedighi-Hamadani, her peaceful LGBTI rights activism. We call on Iran’s authorities to immediately quash the convictions & death sentences & release Zahra Sedighi-Hamadani & Elham Choubdar.
