Commute the 10-month prison sentences of Dr. Lahiji & his wife, & return them to 4 US-citizen minor children in Iran.

Created by N.V. on March 21, 2014

While President Obama is pursuing diplomacy with Iran, his administration is torturing Iranian donors of purely humanitarian aid to Iranian children. Dr. Hossein Lahiji & Attorney Najmeh Vahid (Lahijis) have donated more than $20 million dollars to many US charities. After 9/11, the Lahijis were subjected to never-ending surveillance & they were criminalized for donating to Iranian children. They have lost everything in this country, even their US citizenships. 4 minor US-citizen children have been in Iran w/o parents for weeks while the Lahijis are waiting to start their 10-month prison sentence! Regardless of innocence or guilt, we do not want to spend taxpayer dollars on imprisoning the Lahijis when they will be deported afterwards. They should be sent to their children NOW.
