How to Help Saeed Malekpour

Persian2English

With the help of many, we were able to sustain enough attention on Saeed’s case to move Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to call off his death sentence. But, Saeed is still condemned to a life sentence, and the only evidence to support the charges against him are confessions he gave under torture.

Read how Saeed’s dream life turned into his worst nightmare here.

Saeed was 33 when he entered prison and on June 5th he will be turning 40, his fate remains unknown. All that we do know is that the only person with the power to determine Saeed’s fate is Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
