Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Human Rights First.The short explanation of this alert was:
Sotoudeh heard her name announced over the airport intercom system. Security officials approached her, seized her passport, and informed her that she was not permitted to travel. Sotoudeh is not alone. At least four other women's rights activists have gone through the same experience: Parvin Ardalan, Mansoureh Shojaee, Talat Taghinia, and Sussan Tahmasebi. Furthermore, Esha Momeni, member of the One Million Signatures Campaign for gender equality, is still unable to leave Iran, as the Ministry of Intelligence continues to hold her passport. Governments must grant all persons the right to travel. Human rights defenders in particular rely on the exercise of this right in order to participate in meetings with their colleagues around the world and to have access to international human rights bodies. Please join us in calling on the Iranian authorities to end their harassment of women's rights activists and to respect the right of human rights defenders to travel.
