URGENT ACTION - PLEASE DISTRIBUTE

I am writing to express my deepest concern for Afsaneh Nouroozi, a woman who is now at imminent risk of execution after the death sentence against her was upheld by the Supreme Court. Afsaneh Nouroozi was arrested in 1997 after she killed the Head of Police Intelligence in Kish, Southern Iran. She allegedly acted in self-defense in order to protect herself from being raped.
At Afsaneh Nouroozis trial, her defense lawyer cited Article 61 of the Islamic Criminal Law which states: "If while defending one's life, honor, chastity, property or freedom against any immediate or imminent aggression, one makes an action which is an offence, provided that all of the following conditions are met, one will not be prosecuted and punished: (a) The defense is proportionate to danger or aggression; (b) the action is not excessive; (c) calling the governmental forces is not possible immediately, or calling them is not effective in repelling the aggression or danger." Afsaneh Nouroozi was nevertheless sentenced to death for the crime.
Afsaneh Nouroozi is being held in Bandar Abbas prison in southern Iran, which is notorious for its poor conditions. In August 2003, her husband, Mostafa Jihangiri, complained to Article 90, a parliamentary commission where citizens complaints and grievances are examined, about the conditions in which she is detained.
I not only believe that Afsaneh Nouroozi was wrongly sentenced to death for acting in self defense, but I oppose the use of the death penalty in all situations as the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. The death penalty violates the commitment of Iranian authorities to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states, Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person (Article 3). I urgently request that you commute Afsaneh Nouroozis death sentence immediately. I eagerly await your response.
