URGENTProfessor Homa Hoodfar's health
at serious risk in Iran
Dear Joseph,
Thank you again for speaking out for Concordia University Professor Homa Hoodar, who has been detained in Iran's notorious Evin Prison since June.
In the last few days very concerning news has emerged that Professor Hoodfar's health may be in decline.
In the last few days very concerning news has emerged that Professor Hoodfar's health may be in decline.
Hoodfar suffers from a serious neurological condition and we believe she has not been receiving appropriate treatment in prison. She was reportedly taken to hospital because of her weakened condition and then returned to her cell. Her well-being is clearly at grave risk as long as she remains in prison.
Amnesty International considers Dr. Hoodfar to be a prisoner of conscience, detained with no legal basis, and calls on Iranian authorities to release her immediately and unconditionally.
We urgently need your help again. We must send a clear, urgent call to the Iranian authorities to release Dr. Hoodfar immediately. Your action may help save her life.
Here are two ways you can help:
1. SHARE this urgent action with family and friends

Not on social media? No problem. Here's basic text you can use for an email to your friends and family:
Professor Homa Hoodfar, a respected Canadian-Iranian scholar and researcher from Concordia University, has being held in Tehran’s Evin Prison since June 6th extremely limited access to her family and lawyer, and likely in solitary confinement.
Research is not a crime. No one should be targeted for the peaceful exercise of their rights to freedom of expression and association. Amnesty International considers Dr. Hoodfar to be a prisoner of conscience.
