We Remember You Shiva: Messages of support and hope for Shiva Nazar Ahari


As a result of efforts by Iranian and non-Iranian human rights activists from various countries, postcards and messages were sent to Shiva Nazar Ahari’s family for Norooz (Iranian New Year).

Prominent human rights activist and starred student Shiva Nazar Ahari has spent a total of 220 days in jail since June 2009 (she was arrested, released, then re-arrested). 100 of those days was spent in solitary confinement in Evin prison.

Shiva Nazar Ahari was arrested for the second time on December 19, 2009. She had been released on a $200,000 USD bail early September 2009.

Currently, Navid Khanjani, Kouhyar Goodarzi and Shiva Nazar Ahari are three members of the Committee of Human Rights Reporters who remain detained in Evin prison.
