Your Excellency
Dear Dr.Mohsen Shaterzadeh,
I am a brazilian citizen. I am writing to request your attention concerning Pastor Nadarkhani’s case. Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani of the evangelical Church of Iran denomination was arrested in his home city of Rasht in 2009 while attempting to register his church. In September 2010 he was tried and found guilty of apostasy (abandoning Islam), and was sentenced to death. His case has been referred to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Hoseyni Khamenei.
In 2011, during a session on 25 September, the court in Rasht ruled that the pastor had not practiced Islam as an adult, but still upheld the charge of apostasy because of the his Muslim ancestry. From 26- 28 September he appeared in court three times, and was asked each day to renounce his faith in order to secure an annulment of the apostasy charge and a lifting of the death sentence.
The conviction and sentence are illegal under Iranian law, since the penal code does not specify death for apostasy. They also violate article 23 of the Iranian Constitution, which states that no-one should be molested or taken to task simply for holding a certain belief. Moreover, the conviction and sentence are in violation of international covenants to which Iran is signatory, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which guarantees freedom of religion and the right to change one’s religion.
The source of this information is the Christian Solidarity Worldwide -CSW- a Christian organization working for religious freedom through advocacy and human rights.
I appeal for your clemency and mercy for the life of this Iranian citizen, urging the Iranian Authorities to recognize this case of urgency.
I would like to thank your excellence for your time and I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours respectfully and sincerely,

Freedom for the lives of 30 North Korean refugees
Add your message here:
I am contacting your Excellence to request that you kindly use your good offices to intervene urgently on behalf of 30 North Korean refugees. They have been threatening with repatriation from China to North Korea where they face certain torture and even execution.
I understand China’s concerns about refugees illegally entering China as they flee North Korea. However, state that as a signatory to the 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees, China is obligated not to force these refugees back to North Korea.
I appeal for your clemency and mercy for the lives of this group, urging the Chinese President to accept the appeal by the South Korean Government to allow them to travel to South Korea for resettlement.
Sincerely,
Brazilian citizen
God bless you!
Mísia.
