Hamid is still facing death


I got this from Amnesty International: 


No news is good news.
We continue to maintain hope that the death sentence imposed on Hamid Ghassemi-Shall will be dropped and he will be allowed to return to his family in Canada.

More than 12,000 Amnesty International supporters have spoken up for Hamid, since he was detained and sentenced in Iran for “espionage”.  Thank you for adding your voice!

The Canadian government at the highest levels is demanding Hamid's release. Amnesty International has thoroughly investigated his case and is working behind the scenes with Hamid's family, with decision-makers, and with the press to make sure the injustice of this case is known and Hamid is brought safely back to Canada. These developments give us some reason to hope for a successful outcome, but we need the help of Amnesty members to continue this life-saving work.
We understand that not everybody can donate to us each month, however, you can also help Hamid by making a special one-time gift.
Amnesty International receives no money from the government, and we depend solely on donations from people like you to stand up for human rights around the world. In other words, without you, there would be no Amnesty International.

Thank you for considering taking this extra step for Hamid and others around the world who depend on help from Amnesty members.
In the meantime, you can be confident that Amnesty International is doing everything we can to bring him home. Thanks to financial support from individual Amnesty International donors and to people like you who are willing to take action, we’re able to campaign passionately and vigorously to secure his freedom.

Sincerely,


Gloria Nafziger
Campaigner, Amnesty International Canada
