Tell Iran to Release Baktash Abtin, Keyvan Bajan, and Reza Khandan Mahabadi

[BeckyDem]

To the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ebrahim Raisi





This year, PEN America is honoring imprisoned Iranian writers Baktash Abtin, Keyvan Bajan, and Reza Khandan Mahabadi with the 2021 PEN/Barbey Freedom to Write Award. All three writers have been imprisoned by the Iranian authorities for their writing, their defense of free expression, and their peaceful opposition to state censorship. In May 2019, they were each sentenced to six years in prison on spurious national security and propaganda charges. In September 2020, after an appeals process, they were summoned to begin their collective 15-and-a-half-year sentence at Evin Prison, even as the COVID-19 pandemic was ravaging Iranian prisons. Join PEN America in calling for their release now

2. THAT is a travesty.

Outrageous, truly outrageous.

3. Biden should really grant a pardon to Mr. Donziger. Great and proper use of the power.
