Voici quelques pistes d'action:

1. Signez la pétition

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Supreme_Leader_of_Iran_Ali_Khamanei_We_call_on_you_to_secure_the_release_of_Homa_Hoodfar/?pv=3&fb_action_ids=10154117184678564&fb_action_types=avaaz-org%3Ajoin

2. Envoyez une lettre

Nous vous faisons parvenir le message (en anglais) de Linda Peake,
chercheuse principale d'un projet CRSH sur le genre et la ville qui
vient tout juste de passer la première étape. Plusieurs géographes
féministes sont impliquées dans ce projet et tous doivent se
rencontrer pour un atelier à Toronto en août.


Dear project members,

Homa Hoodfar is one of the team members for the Tehran city research
team. Can I encourage you to write Minister Stephane Dion & and the
PM concerning Professor Homa Hoodfar (Concordia University) who has
been arrested in Iran (see links below). Her research on gender,
displacement, education, and on many aspects of the lives of Afghans
in Iran has been extraordinarily important. I fear greatly for her
health and her life in Evin prison in Tehran.

Best wishes,

Linda Peake
