Save Nazanin

Apostropher mentions (in a post you should read for other reasons) the case of Nazanin Mahabad Fatehi. She's an 18-year old Iranian who has been sentenced to death. For stabbing a man to death. Because he and two other men were trying to rape her and her niece.

If they'd succeeded, she could have been subject to prosecution for extra-marital sex.

Her case is being reviewed by the Iranian Supreme Court this week.
