Iranian Woman on Death Row Appeals for International Help From Prison

An Iranian woman sentenced to death in connection with protests earlier this year has appealed to the international community to help save her life and those of other prisoners.

The appeal was contained in an audio recording released by human rights organizations on Wednesday. Its authenticity could not immediately be independently verified.

In the recording, the woman urged international action to prevent her execution and protect fellow inmates facing a similar threat.

The available information did not identify the woman or specify the charges against her. It also did not indicate whether an execution date had been set.
