The member of the European Parliament called for the permanent release of Athena

Moritz Kerner, German politician and member of the European Parliament

(Member of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs) In a letter to the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic in Germany, he demanded the permanent release of Athena.

"The world recognizes Athena as a helper of the afflicted, especially children," he said. "Now she needs help because of the harassment she endured in prison." The terms of his arrest and trial, his ill-treatment of Athena Daemi, and his seven-year prison sentence both violate the minimum international standards for the treatment of prisoners, Iranian law, and the human rights treaties that Iran has ratified.

Athena Daemi is serving a five-year sentence in Evin Prison, where another case was opened and she was finally sentenced to another three years and seven months in prison. Pursuant to Article 134, the period of 2 years and 1 month of this imprisonment is also applicable to her. #freedom_for_Athena
