Delara Darabi, the young artist who has been in Rasht prison for the last 5 years in Iran, is at great risk of execution at any moment. A few days ago, she was told by prison authorities to prepare herself as she would be executed any day. Her lawyer, Abdolsamad Khoramshahi, is convinced that if she were to be given a new trial whereby they could re-enact the scene of the crime, it would be easily proven that Delara is innocent of the alleged murder she was convicted of. Khoramshahi has said many times that he has new evidence including the crime being committed by a right handed person whereas Delara is left-handed.
In 2007, Stop Child Executions produced a 10 minute documentary about Delara which can be viewed here.

Thank you for bringing Delara's case to my attention. I watched the heart ranching story in google. I signed the petition as well. She shares a very similar name as my daughter, Lara.... I hope she can be free to enjoy and paint soon.
