Simple way to do something to stop Iran from another murder - Lateral-g Forums

Fellow Lat-g members,

Here's something everyone can do to help another innocent person from being murdered there. In this case, Iran is trying to execute a man for being a Christian after keeping him in jail for 2 years... all for rejecting Islam.

To me, his religion is not the issue here. I'd do the same if the person in danger of losing their life was a Buddist, Hindu, atheist etc.

Below is from the www.aclj.org (American Center for Law and Justice) website.

Thank you.

"Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has been sentenced to death by Iranian authorities because he has embraced Christianity. The ACLJ has mounted an aggressive international effort to save his life.

We've contacted members of Congress, international leaders, and the news media - working to put pressure on the Iranian government to stop this planned execution that could occur at any time.

Due to the immense international pressure from across the globe -- including ACLJ members and supporters -- Pastor Nadarkhani's fate will now be decided by the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. We must keep the pressure on in order to help save Pastor Nadarkhani's life.

The ACLJ is calling on Secretary of State Clinton to get involved - to stand up for this Christian pastor - to call on Iran to spare his life. Add your name to our petition now.
Petition to Secretary of State Clinton - Call on Iran to save Christian pastor

To: Secretary of State Clinton

We cannot allow this atrocity to be carried out. Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani faces imminent execution in Iran for his Christian faith. In July, your office stated that it was “dismayed over reports that the Iranian courts are requiring Youcef Nadarkhani to recant his Christian faith or face the death penalty for apostasy.”

Now, Pastor Youcef faces execution that could be carried out at any time.

It is absolutely critical that you call for Iran to overturn Pastor Youcef’s death sentence and demand his full and unconditional release from prison.

As other world leaders denounce Iran’s condemning this man to death just for being a Christian, it is critical that America – the land of liberty – take a stand and pressure Iran to release Pastor Youcef.

I urge you to take immediate action to call on Iran to stop this ultimate human rights abuse, and free Pastor Youcef before it’s too late."
