URGENT: New Letter to Send to Foreign Ministries & Secretaries of State for Habibollah Latifi & His Family (26 Dec 2010)

This is a sample letter that you can send to your foreign ministry/secretary of state. Email addresses are below the sample letter.

To the Foreign Minister/Secretary of State:

The Islamic Republic of Iran wanted to execute beloved student and political prisoner Habibollah Latifi this morning. A global outcry, both inside and outside of Iran, made the killing machine that is the Islamic Republic stop in its tracks.

But only for a moment.

Just a few hours ago, the Islamic Republic’s security forces ransacked the home of Latifi’s family, confiscating computers and documents, and arresting several family members, in order to silence the protest. And likely in order to kill this young man Habibollah in silence.

But we, honorable people worldwide, do not allow the Islamic Republic to kill our sisters and brothers in silence. We have demanded, and continue to demand, that governments once and for all stop issuing meaningless condemnations of the Islamic Republic’s atrocities, of this brutish regime’s crimes against humanity.

We demand – I demand – that governments start acting in support of the human rights of Iranian people, and thereby in the support of all people.

It is well past time to withdraw your implicit support for this mass-murdering regime and suspend all diplomatic relationships. I demand – in the name of Habibollah Latifi, and in the name of thousands upon thousands of those killed and waiting to be killed by this feral regime – IMMEDIATE closure of the doors to the Embassy of the Islamic Republic in this country.

Sincerely,
[your name]

NOTE: For those in the United States, replace the last line with the following:
“I demand that you close the doors to the office of the Islamic Republic in this country.”
