Iran Nasrin Sotoudeh expresses gratitude in video message

The video message that you find below was recently received from Nasrin Sotoudeh, after she was unexpectedly released early from prison in September 2013. Since 2009 L4L has campaigned for Nasrin Sotoudeh; this was after she received a travel ban for the first time. During her (unfair) trial and three-year detention, we asked attention for her situation through letter writing campaigns. When she went on hunger strike in prison, L4L demonstrated outside of the Iranian embassy in The Hague and we discussed her situation in an extensive conversation with the Iranian ambassador. We are happy to hear from her ánd to hear from her that our campaigns for her haven’t been meaningless.
