Petition To Hossein Ali-Amiri

To Hossein Ali-Amiri
Head of the Justice Department, Fars Province, Iran
From concerned members of the human rights community

We, the undersigned, express our deep concern at the harsh and unjust sentences imposed on 10 Iranian Jews in Shiraz.

We urge you to ensure that the appeals process is transparent and follows internationally accepted judicial norms.

We ask you to allow independent observers free access to the prisoners and the appeals proceedings.

We appeal to you to intervene to overturn this miscarriage of justice.
