Silva Harotonian

Armenian Iranian serving 3-year jail term for association with AIDS activists

Silva Harotonian, an Iranian citizen of Armenian descent, recently held a modest role with a humanitarian organization working to improve child and maternal health in Iran. Her work and life were interrupted on June 26, 2008 when she was detained by Iranian authorities and charged with participating in an effort to overthrow the Iranian government through a ''soft revolution.'' On January 19, 2009, she was sentenced to three years in jail. My cousin Silva is a kind, honorable young woman whose arrest was a tragic misunderstanding. Since she was arrested, Silva has sat in jail unable to tell her story, innocent of any intentional wrongdoing. Now I am speaking for her. Please look through this site to get to know Silva’s story and to sign the appeal to Iran’s government using your voice to help Silva regain her freedom>>> freesilva.org

a true human prisoned by coward mullahs

Silva Hartonian is a true human which has stood for human rights and humanitarian aid for her countrymen. The coward regime of IRI cannot even see humanitarians work being done in Iran as it is scared that it can raise more dissatisfaction by people toward the corrupt government.

No misunderstanding there

Humanitarian work in Iran is soft revolution these days. Pretty soon it will be considered hard revolution too...
