Your excellencies,
The non-political association of writers, PEN International, is protesting the detention of literary translator Mohammad Soleimani Nia, and calling for his immediate and unconditional release in accordance with Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Iran is a signatory. We are expressing serious concerns for his well-being in detention, and urging that he has full access to his family, lawyer and medical care.
Thanking you in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Fredrik Giertsen
