<\/p>\n

Delara Darabi, the young artist who has been in Rasht prison for the last 5 years in Iran, is at great risk of execution at any moment.
\n 
\nA few days ago, she was told by prison authorities to prepare herself as she would be executed any day.  Her lawyer, Abdolsamad Khoramshahi, is convinced that if she were to be given a new trial whereby they could re-enact the scene of the crime, it would be easily proven that Delara is innocent of the alleged murder she was convicted of. Khoramshahi has said many times that he has new evidence including  the crime being committed by a right handed person whereas Delara is lefthanded. Despite many attempts by human rights groups and celebrities to try and get pardon from the family of the victim, the family would like to see her execution carried out.<\/p>\n

Stop Child Executions has been documenting Delara’s case for several years and informing members of parliament worldwide, human rights group, the United Nations  and the general public about her condition.<\/p>\n

In 2007, Stop Child Executions produced a 10 minute documentary about Delara which can be viewed here:  http:\/\/video.google.com\/videoplay?docid=533103998986446192&ei=7kbeSZumHaO0qAOo-YzVAw&q=delara+darabi<\/a><\/p>\n
