A few days ago, I was at a demonstration in Lisbon – one of the many across the world against Sakineh Ashtiani ’ s conviction – hoping that voices such as that of President Lula da Silva of Brazil would be heard by the authorities in Tehran with whatever is left of their rationality, compassion and humanity.
Estive há dias em Lisboa numa manifestação, das muitas por esse mundo fora, contra a condenação de Sakineh, com a esperança de que vozes como a do Presidente Lula do Brasil sejam ouvidas pelas autoridades de Teerão, com o que lhes restar de racionalidade, de compaixão, de humanidade.
