Street Action! The Multi-Kulti Group of AI HU is organizing a march on 19th May for Troy
At the beginning of this month, the following story shocked Amnesty International worldwide.
Delara Darabi, a 22-year-old Iranian woman who had been convicted of a crime she allegedly committed while aged 17, was executed on Friday 1 May despite a two-month stay ordered by the Head of the Judiciary in her case on 13th April.
Her execution has sparked international outrage.
Amnesty International members around the world took part in actions to pay tribute to Delara Darabi and oppose the death penalty against juveniles in Iran on 8th May.
We mustn’t let these cases go on. Here is an opportunity for you too, to raise your voice against death penalty.
