0555 GMT: We begin Friday with news from the Political Prisoner front....
International human rights and student organisations have launched “Be the Voice of Enchained Students", responding to the call of Iranian counterparts to announce support for those detained for dissent and participation in protests.
At present, 29 students are serving long sentences in Iranian prisons. Several others are on bail and could be summoned at any time to serve their sentence. The Daftar-e Tahkim-e Vahdat student organisation has also provided Ahmad Shaheed, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, with a comprehensive report documenting suspensions, expulsions, bans, and at least 2,000 violations of students’ rights from April 2009 to September 2011.
The campaign's signatories include Nobel Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, United4Iran, and The International Federation of Human Rights.
