Leila, a 19 year old woman, faces imminent execution in Iran. What childhood she has had has been marred with physical and sexual abuse from the age of 8, giving birth to her first child at the age of 9. Having become a concubine to an Afghan man at the age of 12, Leila was forced into prostitution by him until the age of 14 when she gave birth to twin daughters. Leila was then given to a 55 year old married man who continued her history of abuse until her arrest at the age of 18, when she was found guilty of prostitution. Prostitution carries the death penalty under the Islamic laws of Iran.
We, the undersigned, appeal for your involvement on Leila is behalf based on principals of Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html), to which Iran is a signatory.
Sincerely,

vooreerst het lijkt mij sterk onwaarschijnlijk om een kleine te krijgen op uw negende, wat de rest van het verhaal ook moeilijk verifieerbaar. Er is in Iran veel prostitie en er wordt normaal niemand terdood veroordeeld daarvoor.
En verder, wie zijn wij om een oordeel te vellen over binnenlandse gebruiken in de Islam wereld.
