Be the Voice of Najmeh Amini – Before It Is Too Late!

Urgent International Petition to Stop the Execution of Najmeh Amini

Addressed to the United Nations, the UN Human Rights Council, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, the European Parliament, and all international human rights organisations.

“I Have Only One Request: Please Be My Voice.”

This is the voice of Najmeh Amini, a 23-year-old young woman who, from behind the walls of Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad, Iran, is facing a death sentence and calling on the people of Iran and the world for help.

In her emotional audio message, which has now reached people around the world, Najmeh speaks of her unfulfilled dreams, of her mother and father who are waiting for her return, and of her fear that her young life may end at the gallows.

She does not want to be a hero. She simply wants to live, to receive justice, and to have the opportunity to defend herself. In her message, Najmeh describes herself as an innocent young woman with many dreams and hopes for the future.

With a voice that must not disappear behind prison walls, she asks all of us not to forget her.

A Human Life Is in Danger – We Must Not Remain Silent!

According to reports published by human rights organisations, Najmeh Amini has been sentenced to death in connection with accusations related to her statements on social media.

Sentencing a person to death for expressing an opinion is a clear violation of fundamental human rights, freedom of expression, and human dignity.

No human being should lose the right to life because of their thoughts, beliefs, or words.

We are deeply concerned about Najmeh Amini’s life, the conditions of her imprisonment, her access to an independent lawyer, and her right to a fair trial.

The publication of her audio message shows that, despite the difficult circumstances she faces, Najmeh continues to place her hope in justice and human solidarity.

We must not allow her desperate appeal for help to go unanswered.

Serious Concerns About Her Treatment After Her Voice Reached the Outside World

According to a report published by Voice of America on 2 October 2026, after audio messages from Najmeh Amini and fellow prisoner Mahboubeh Shabani became public, prison authorities allegedly tied both women’s hands and feet to their beds at Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad.

These reports raise serious concerns about their physical safety, possible torture, inhuman treatment, and retaliation for speaking out.

We call on the United Nations human rights mechanisms, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, and international human rights organisations to urgently investigate these allegations.

We demand independent access to the prisoners and immediate guarantees for their safety, dignity, and protection from torture, mistreatment, and retaliation.

No prisoner should be punished for making their voice heard by the world.

Our Urgent Demands to the International Community

We, the undersigned, call upon the United Nations, the UN Human Rights Council, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, Amnesty International, democratic governments, and all human rights organisations to take immediate action.

We demand:

1. Immediate action to stop any execution of Najmeh Amini and to overturn her death sentence.
2. An independent investigation into the circumstances of her arrest, detention, interrogation, and trial, including the allegations of mistreatment and retaliation following the publication of her audio message.
3. Full respect for her right to independent legal representation, communication with her family, and a fair trial in accordance with international human rights standards.
4. Immediate international attention to her case and the use of all available legal, diplomatic, and human rights mechanisms to protect her life.

Your Signature Can Be the Voice of a Human Being Facing Execution

From behind prison walls, Najmeh Amini has asked us to be her voice.

Today, this human responsibility belongs to all of us.

Every signature sends a clear message to the international community:

Najmeh Amini’s life matters. The right to life is not negotiable. No one should be executed for expressing an opinion.

We ask you to sign this petition, watch the video containing Najmeh’s message, and share this appeal with your friends, families, journalists, civil society organisations, and political representatives.

We do not want to see Najmeh Amini’s name added to the list of people who have been executed.

We want her to stay alive.

We want her to return to her family.

We want her to have a future.

We want her to have the opportunity to live, to dream, and to fulfil the hopes that every young person deserves to have.

We must act today, before it is too late.

Human Rights for All – No to the Death Penalty.
