Urgent Action: Tortured conservationists face death penalty

Eight detained conservationists could face the death penalty or long prison sentences, following a grossly unfair trial in which they were accused of trumped-up spying charges. Their charges stem solely from their conservation activities including carrying out research into Iran’s endangered wildlife. They have said they were subjected to torture and other ill-treatment.

Take action.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DEADLINE IS NOW EXTENDED TO 08 AUGUST 2019
