Demand the release of Iranian-American journalist and his wife
Please take a moment of your holiday to phone a brief message to the Iranian Mission to the UN to request the release of Jason Rezaian and his wife Yeganeh Salehi, both journalists:
(212) 687-2020
- The UN Ambassador is Gholamhossein Dehghani
- Press Officer: Hamid Babae (pronounced "baba e") x 257
Sample Statement:
"My name is XXXXXXX. I am concerned about the welfare of journalists / reporters Jason Rezaian and Yeganeh / Yegi Salehi ( sah la hi). I encourage the Iranian government to release them immediately and let them be reunited with their families and return to their work."
It is possible the Mission staff are not in on Fridays. But no harm in calling on Friday as well. Machines might fill up, which could also get their attention.
If you do get through to the mission via phone, please feel free to send a message to this Facebook account of "Free Jason & Yegi" telling their family the date & time you called & how your call was received.
