Support Our Work
Help Us Be Their Voice and Support victims of Human Rights abuses
Your donation doesn’t just help. It saves lives. It restores hope. It protects freedom.
Every day, ordinary people risk everything for the simple right to speak freely, live without fear, and build a future with dignity. Some flee persecution, arriving here with nothing but trauma and hope. Others remain imprisoned, silenced, or forgotten.
Support ILA’s peaceful work to raise awareness of executions, unfair trials and prisoners of conscience. Donations help us prepare campaign materials, publish updates, share petitions, organise awareness events and keep urgent human-rights cases visible.
At the International Liberty Association, we stand beside them—supporting victims of Human Rights abuses in the UK, campaigning to prevent executions, and fighting for justice where it’s been denied.
Zahra Tabari
Zahra Tabari is a 68-year-old Iranian electrical engineer, mother of two, and former energy specialist who is currently facing a death sentence in Iran. She was arrested in 2025 and later sentenced to death on charges linked to her alleged political activities and associations. Human rights advocates and international observers have raised serious concerns about the fairness of the legal proceedings in her case.
Her case has attracted international attention, with campaigners, legal advocates, and human-rights organisations calling for urgent action to prevent her execution and to uphold her fundamental rights. Reports indicate that she was tried through a process that critics describe as lacking essential legal safeguards.
Zahra’s story is one of many that highlight the ongoing risks faced by individuals imprisoned for their beliefs, activism, or peaceful expression. By supporting ILA’s human-rights awareness and advocacy work, you help ensure that cases like Zahra’s remain visible and that calls for justice are not forgotten.
Every donation helps us raise awareness, support advocacy efforts, and stand alongside those whose voices may otherwise go unheard.
Pakhshan Azizi, a 39-year-old
Kurdish women’s rights activist from Mahabad, was sentenced to death and four years in prison after nearly a year in detention. A social work graduate from Allameh Tabatabai University, she was arrested in August 2023 in Tehran and convicted of “rebellion,” a broad political charge, by Tehran’s Revolutionary Court.

Ali Younesi
Ali Younesi is a computer engineering student and international Olympiad gold medalist who was arrested in April 2020 alongside fellow student Amirhossein Moradi. He was accused of alleged ties to opposition groups, charges he and his supporters have consistently rejected as unfounded and politically motivated. He is currently detained in Ghezel Hesar Prison and has faced serious concerns regarding his treatment and prolonged imprisonment.
In a recent letter titled “Winter Geographies,” written from prison, Ali reflects on life behind bars and the meaning of endurance. He describes prison as a place designed to erase hope, yet insists that even in the “coldest geography” there is no surrender. He reflects on being separated from his studies and future for more than 2,000 days, turning that loss into a wider meditation on freedom, dignity, and resistance.
In his writing, Ali argues that repression extends beyond prison walls, describing society under dictatorship as a wider form of confinement that limits thought and aspiration.
He rejects both the idea of accepting a “better prison” through reform and the hope of outside forces delivering freedom, insisting instead that real change must come from within society itself.
He places particular emphasis on students and universities as spaces of awareness and resistance, describing them as central to the struggle for freedom. He ends his letter with a call to unity and determination among young people, framing their collective voice as a continuation of a long history of student resistance and a path toward a freer future.
Supporting ILA’s work helps ensure that these stories are not forgotten. It allows continued documentation of human rights cases, public awareness of ongoing injustices, and educational outreach that keeps attention on individuals like Ali Younesi and others who remain imprisoned.
Arghavan Fallahi
Arghavan Fallahi is a young activist and political prisoner who was arrested in Tehran on January 25, 2025. She endured over six months of solitary confinement, intense interrogations, and both psychological and physical torture under the supervision of the IRGC and Judiciary Intelligence.
Initially held in Ward 241 of Evin Prison and later in Fashafouyeh Prison, she was denied access to her family and lawyer, with authorities setting an unpayable bail to block her release. In August 2025, she was transferred to Qarchak Prison, one of Iran’s most notorious facilities known for its overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and violence against inmates.
Despite the transfer ending her solitary confinement, Arghavan continues to face restrictions, isolation, and deteriorating health, reflecting the broader persecution of political prisoners in Iran.
AmirHossein Moradi
Manouchehr Fallah
A political prisoner, has been sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court of Rasht after 18 months of legal uncertainty. Arrested on June 17, 2023, solely for writing a book on human rights, he was later accused of moharebeh (waging war against God) for allegedly damaging judicial and IRGC buildings.
His trial, held via video conference, denied him legal representation, with his lawyers blocked from defending him. Despite completing a previous 13-month sentence for “insulting Ali Khamenei” and “propaganda against the regime,” he remains in Lakan Prison. Human rights groups urge international action to stop his execution.
Sharifeh Mohammad
A 45-year-old labour rights activist and member of the Free Union of Iranian Workers. She was arrested in December 2023 at her home in Rasht and subjected to months of solitary confinement and intense psychological and physical torture. In July 2024, she was sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court for “Baghi” (rebellion), based solely on her alleged affiliation with a banned labour rights group, a charge she has consistently denied. Despite the Supreme Court briefly overturning the verdict, her death sentence was reinstated in February 2025. Her case has sparked protests from fellow political prisoners and international outcry, symbolising the extreme persecution faced by women and workers who dare to speak out in Iran.
Children’s Rights and Human Rights Education
Support children’s rights by raising awareness of child labour, child marriage, and the recruitment and exploitation of child soldiers in Iran. Through workshops, youth panels, public awareness campaigns, and educational materials, ILA works to inform communities, amplify affected voices, and encourage action to protect vulnerable children. Your support helps expand education on these issues and strengthens efforts to defend childhood, safety, and dignity.
Rebuilding Lives
Support refugees, survivors, older volunteers, young people, and vulnerable community members as they rebuild confidence, reduce isolation, and feel part of a welcoming community in the UK. This includes providing practical assistance such as essential items, travel support, basic supplies, signposting, and access to trusted local services. It also helps deliver digital confidence workshops, where participants can learn everyday skills such as using email, completing online forms, accessing the NHS App, booking appointments, using communication tools, and staying safe online.
Where Needed Most
A general donation gives ILA flexibility to respond to urgent needs across our work, including venue hire, workshop materials, outreach, volunteer coordination, campaign materials, community events and practical support.
Where possible, ILA will use donations for the area selected by the donor. If a project becomes fully funded, urgent needs change or restrictions prevent us from using the donation exactly as selected, ILA may use the donation for closely related charitable work in line with its mission.
Donations for prisoner-of-conscience or death-penalty cases support ILA’s awareness, education and peaceful advocacy work.
Funds do not go directly to prisoners or their families unless this is clearly stated. ILA should verify case information before publishing names, updates or urgent claims.
