Good news!


Toomaj Salehi has been released

December 2024

Members of the Salisbury group took part in a campaign for the release of an Iranian rapper and he has been released. The joint voices of nearly 27,000 people —Toomaj, an Iranian rapper, activist, and advocate for justice, has been finally released.

Together, we sent a clear message to Iranian authorities: The world is watching, and we won’t stay silent when freedom and human rights are at stake.

Toomaj has been a powerful supporter of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, sparked by the death of Mahsa Zhina Amini, a young woman who died in police custody for defying abusive forced veiling laws in Iran. Through his music, Toomaj called for justice, equality, and an end to the violent crackdown on protests in Iran. His release is proof that when we unite for what’s right, we can create change

Death penalty urgent actions


June 2024

We have received the following from Amnesty’s Death Penalty project. One concerns attempts by the Republicans in Texas to seek the death penalty for those offering abortions. A second rather distressing post concerns the botched execution attempt of Thomas Creech, one of 9 bungled attempts in the USA in the last 4 years.

Urgent is the case of Ramiro Gonzales who is due to be executed in 6 days on 26th of June. Finally, Toomaj Salehi in Iran, an Iranian rapper who is on death row.

If you are able to take action on at least one of them that would be appreciated. See full details of the above on the link below.
