Nazanin Fatehi has been Released!

Today, 31 January evening, 19 year old Nazanin was released from prison after facing execution for the past year and a half.

She stepped out of prison with a smile on her face to greet her family and supporters who had gathered outside Evin prison.

Whilst there, she spoke to Mina Ahadi, the coordinator for the International Committee against Execution, and thanked all those who had worked for her release.
