"I am Fatemeh Mohammadi, a Persian-speaking Christian, living in Iran. According to Articles 18 and 19 of the Global Declaration of Human Rights, which emphasises the freedom of opinion and expression. The Islamic Republic of Iran is obligated to uphold these articles for freedom of expression.

Update on Mary Fatemeh Mohammad 2/5/2020
Randy Noble an immense advocate for Iranian rights has reported that a friend of the family has herd word of where Mary is being held. She is at (Click to read article) Qarchak Prison for women. Without any details of how long she will have to endure the harsh environment that many of these women face. We ask you to keep her in your prayers.
Excerpt from Article 18
"Mary is a rare example of a Christian activist still living in Iran and had already spent six months in prison as a result of her Christian activity, for which she was convicted of “action against national security” and “propaganda against the system”.
In July last year Mary faced fresh criminal charges relating to her “improper” wearing of hijab. The charges, which were eventually quashed, were brought against her after she initially went to police to complain of an assault.
Then in December, Mary was kicked out of her Tehran university, without explanation, on the eve of her English-language exams.
She told Article18 she believed she had been expelled as a result of her prior conviction and human rights activism.
Mary said she believes not enough is known about the situation of Christians in Iran – particularly converts – compared to the significant amount of publicity and advocacy work relating to other rights issues.
Earlier this week fellow Christian activists Dabrina Bet-Tamraz, Maryam Rostampour and Marziyeh Amirizadeh also called for more noise to be made about the situation of Christians in Iran.
Dabrina specifically highlighted Mary’s case, saying: “She’s a young girl and nobody has any idea where she is right now. She’s been taken away for over three weeks now. We’ve called on every organisation to raise awareness and ask the [Iranian] government… [to] make them accountable, responsible for what they’ve done.”
Dabrina said she feared that if not enough noise was made about the situation of people like Fatemeh, someone like her may “go missing, and die, and nobody will ever talk about it”.
