FANTASTIC NEWS: NAZANIN EXONERATED BUT...
Nazanin Afshin-Jam and Mina Ahadi spoke with Nazanin Fatehi's lawyers today regarding her retrial that took place on January 10th 2007.
They have received verbal confirmation from the court that she will be exonerated from the charge of murder. The incident that took place in March 2005 has been recognized as an act of self-defense, however the court has ruled that disproportionate force was used by Nazanin while trying to defend herself and her 15-year old niece. Accordingly, they have asked Nazanin to pay "dieh" (blood money)* to receive a pardon from the family of the deceased. Once this amount is paid, Nazanin can be released from prison.
Shadi Sadr and Mr. Mostafaei, Nazanin Fatehi's laywers, are appealing this blood money because they believe that Nazanin is innocent for acting in self-defense and therefore she should not have to pay any money. Unfortunately, this appeal may take several months, so in the meantime arrangements may be made to have Nazanin released from prison by paying "bail" money into court.
Formal documentation should be available within days, including further details and specifics like the cost of bail and the cost of blood money.
* DIEH or blood money is part of legal codes of the Islamic regime in Iran.
*************
Congratulation to Nazanin Fatehi, her family, Nazanin Afshin-Jam and everyone of you who made this possible. We will not stop until Nazanin is home with no obligations especially after two years of imprisonment with death penalty nightmare.
As for me, this was the best birthday present ever!
