Pressure Iran to overturn the death penalty handed down to Soheil Arabi for insulting the Prophet Mohammad on Facebook.

The Issue

A blogger in ‘poor psychological condition’ has been sentenced to death after being found guilty of insulting the Prophet Mohammad on Facebook.

This headline should in itself be enough to stir people to action. This man has been condemned to death for expressing an opinion. He has not committed murder, rape or any other heinous crime. He has simply posted somethinhg on Facebook, and now has been sentenced to death.

Please petition Theresa May to put pressure on her Iranian counterparts to get this sentence overturned. Below are links to a number of websites running this story. This is a mans life hanging in the balance, essentially for something he said. Condemned by the people who should be protecting him.
