Child bride faces execution by hanging in Iran

79,048 taken. Help us reach 100,000

Zeinab was 15 when she left her family to marry Hossein. She thought the marriage was her only chance to escape poverty. Soon after the wedding, Hossein started beating Zeinab – she asked for a divorce, but he refused. She told police, but they ignored her. She ran away, but her family disowned her.

After an unfair trial, Zeinab faces execution for the murder of her abusive husband – a crime she says she did not commit. Tell Iran to stop her execution immediately.
