John: Last year on International Women’s Day,
Yasaman Aryani stood up to Iran’s forced veiling laws in a brave act of
defiance.

With her hair uncovered, Yasaman handed out flowers to women passengers on a
train in Iran. It was International Women’s Day, and Yasaman — a young actor who
loves mountain climbing — peacefully protested Iran’s forced veiling laws.

A video of her brave act went viral, prompting Iran’s authorities to arrest her.
Yasaman was sentenced to a shocking 16-year prison term — all because she
believes women should have the freedom to choose what they wear.

UPDATE: Yasaman Aryani just had her sentence reduced from 16 years in prison —
to nine years and seven months.

It seems like the Iranian authorities are listening to our voices. But even one
more day in prison is one too many! We must leverage this moment to demand
Yasaman’s unconditional and immediate release.

Today, on International Women’s Day, you can take action to show your support of
Yasaman.

We’ve been mobilizing our global movement on Yasaman’s behalf — putting our
energy and expertise to work to bring her home. Now, we must generate a
groundswell of support for Yasaman and show Iranian leaders that the world is
watching.

We’ve succeeded in winning the release of other Iranian prisoners of conscience
before. Take action and help us do it again. For Yasaman!
