Zeinab Lokran » Iran: International call to save the life of a 22-year-old woman from execution

Update Oct. 26 by AI UK
Zeinab and her new lawyer will apply for retrial

Her execution, which was scheduled to go ahead as early as 13 October is no longer imminent. Zeinab now has a new lawyer working on her case. Together they will submit an application for a retrial - which is Zeinab’s right under Article 91 of Iran’s Islamic Penal Code.

While this is extremely good news, her death sentence remains in place until a retrial is granted by the authorities.
