Your Excellency,

My name is Timothy Schwinghamer. I am employed by the University of Manitoba, Canada. I welcome the release of Zhila Bani Ya’qoub, who was detained on March 4th during a peaceful demonstration outside Branch 6 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran.

I am concerned by the continued detention of Mahboubeh Abbasgholizadeh and Shadi Sadr. Please have them released immediately and unconditionally, as they are being held solely for the peaceful exercise of their right to freedom of expression and association. Both ought to be granted immediate and regular access to their families, lawyers, and to all necessary medical treatment. All charges ought to be dropped against those charged in connection with the peaceful demonstration on June 12th, 2006, or in connection with the peaceful protest on March 4th, 2007.

Sincerely and Respectfully,

Timothy Schwinghamer

They ought to be granted immediate and regular access to their families, ... All charges ought to be dropped ...

Were you born yesterday body ?? Maybe you should have studied History. Just because you said ought to be this and that, you think they are going to listen to you? your statement does not mean a thing. nothing at all. Are you naive? what do you care? Nobody will listen to you anyway. and wipe that smile from your face .... and you have an M.S. ??
Get with it body. If you are so much concerned, figure out how to make all cars in Canada run on corn.
