Jelveh is a post graduate student of sociology and have been a women's right activist for many years. Recently Islamic regime has clamped down on any activities it regards as anti-state or anti Islamic. Many women rights activists, worker and student activists have been arrested or kidnapped. More than 50 women have been arrested in the past 8 months. Organisation for Women's Liberation strongly condemns the suppression and arrest of women and workers' activists. The Islamic Republic of Iran must be put under international pressure for violating the most basic human rights. Organisation for Women's Liberation has launched this campaign to free all political prisoners. We urge all women's, workers' and human rights organisations to join us in our campaign to publicly condemn the Islamic Republic of Iran and free the activists.
