Dear Sister, Thanks for sharing this, they all the people protesting in Iran AND the Iran football team are so brave.

No, I want you to explain in your post, then I may read the attachment. It could be spam.

Better still put what it is about in the subject box. You may even get people engaging rather than me asking you to say why we need to sign

Agree with malumbu. Can we have more helpful subject line.

It;s a petition to the World's governments that already has 700,000 signatures

This is the aim:-

To world governments:

We call on you to help stop the brutal crackdown against women, children and peaceful protesters in Iran. Help free those unlawfully detained, stop the death sentences, and set up an independent UN mechanism to investigate and end impunity for grave crimes in Iran. Global pressure works and must include targeted sanctions on Iranian officials and institutions responsible for the violence and human rights violations.

Then why not have a thread on Iran. I wont be signing the petition as it is unlikely to make a difference. I'd start with lobbying my MP, getting involved with relevant organisations such as amnesty and those more specific to Iran https://www.amnesty.org/en/petition/end-the-protest-bloodshed-in-iran/
