To the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights:
My name is Maryam Malekpour. I am Saeed Malekpour’s sister. I am writing this urgent request to you on behalf of my family. We live in Tehran, Iran. My brother has been living with the threat of death in Evin prison since October 2008. We require your urgent help. When Saeed’s lawyers visited the Revolutionary Court two days ago to follow up on his case file, they discovered that the file containing the death sentence ruling was no longer there, and it was not in the possession of the Supreme Court either. Saeed Malekpour’s lawyers were informed that this only meant that the case file was sent to the Circuit Court for Execution of Sentences.
One of Saeed’s lawyers said: ”If we [Saeed’s lawyers] had a chance to review the case file, then we would have had a chance to prevent the execution of the sentence. By reviewing the case we could have pointed out that an expert has never been brought into the case for investigation. The case file was sent straight to the Circuit Court for Execution of Sentences.” He continued: “Since Saeed Malekpour’s sentence is in the possession of the Circuit Court for Execution of Sentences, this means that they are capable of executing Saeed at any moment they wish.”
Saeed’s case file was sent to the the execution of sentences office even though his lawyer’s never reviewed the case file beforehand. Many illegal actions have been taken to condemn Saeed to death, including the fact that no expert has ever reviewed the case. Some other examples of illegal actions taken are: One of Saeed’s charges is, “Corrupting the Earth”, however no one, not even the lawyers have been able to review the charges in Saeed’s case file. They want to execute Saeed but his case file still possesses discrepancies never investigated. The only evidence they have to condemn Saeed to death are hours of false confessions Saeed gave while under physical and psychological torture. I am aware that the United Nations already possesses a detailed record of Saeed’s accounts of torture.
Saeed was living in Canada with his wife. They are Permanent Residents of that country. He came for a visit to Iran in October 2008 to visit his father, who died from a brain tumour shortly after Saeed’s arrest.
We cannot believe Saeed was arrested in the first place let alone sentenced to death. We cannot believe that we have been forced to live a horrific nightmare every day for more than three years. Saeed can be illegally executed at any moment unless the international community defends his life. Saeed’s lawyers have told our family that the only hope left is the international community. All legal channels within Iran have been exhausted.
We are desperate for your help!
Please help Saeed. We can provide you with any further information needed. If we all do our part, we can possibly save Saeed from execution.
Sincerely,
Maryam Malekpour

Free Saeed Malekpour as he is innocent
Watch CTV Newsnet tonight at 6pm, Aubrey Harris from Amnesty speaks about this case. We must abolish the death penalty – I do not want my morning newspaper, my e-mail and twitter feed featuring stories like this! Saeed is not alone – many people who are wrongfully convicted are sentenced to jail, solitary confinement and death. We need to change this, we need to act humane – and have effective and just responses.
there is no place in this world for regimes like that. my heart goes out to this and all other innocents held by these barbarians
Not enough love in the world. Start by ending this conflict.
Free Saeed Malekpour!
FREE HIM.

Saeed is innocent. He has done no wrong! He must be freed!
please free this man and let him come back to his family!!!!!!
Please please free Saeed. He does not deserve to die!
Saeed does not deserve to be imprisoned and tortured. All I can do is pray for him. All governments who oppose injustice and cruelty must use all of their power and persuasion to free Saeed and all of the other poor unfortunate souls. what would you do if he was your son or father or brother?
