Thanks to everyone who signed the petition (including myself) to get her sentence repealed!
Also thanks to the many celebrities whom shed light on this injust and brought it to public attention, expecially the Canadian "Nazinine" herself whom dedicated this song to her plight!

quote:This website was created to spread information about the 19-year old Iranian girl Nazanin Mahabad Fatehi, who was previously sentenced to death by hanging for killing a man who ambushed and tried to rape her. At the end of May, the Iranian head of Judiciary overturned her death sentence, and sent the case back to a lower court. Nazanin's re-trial ended on Jan 10 2007.
In this new trial, Nazanin was exonerated on the charge of murder, but sentenced to pay blood money. This sentence will be appealed, in the mean time Nazanin's lawyers have paid bail (collected by donations) so Nazanin can be released from prison. Nazanin was released from prison and reunited with her family Wednesday January 31.
