to ask you all to help with this

[MassDebate]

I've seen the power of mumsnet help with so many other petitions so thought you vipers might assist with this too.

Nazanin Ratcliffe, a charity worker from London, was detained at the airport in Iran in early April when returning from a visit to her family in the country. Her 1yo daughter, who was with her, had her British passport confiscated so has been forced to stay with Nazanin's parents in Iran. Nazanin is being held in prison in Iran without charge. Her British husband has started a petition to the UK govt to intervene and get Nazanin home. It's their daughter's 2nd birthday next week - she's currently looking at spending it without either of her parents.

AIBU to ask you all to sign the petition to help get Nazanin home? It's here

Signed

I considered not signing because you called me a viper and didn't use the magic word Then I came back into the real world and remembered we're trying to free a woman in solitary confinement who has been separated from her tiny daughter without charge and without legal support. Hope our government can step in and get this sorted ASAP.

Look above your post to the right - Report.

Signed.

TBH, I'd just start a new thread with a title which actually gives readers an idea what it is about- 25 posts in 90 minutes (a lot mine!) isnt reaching the big time and it deserves better.

Evening all. We're going to move this thread over to our Petitions topic shortly.

Signed. Poor family. I can't even begin to imagine how terrifying that must be

Signed - poor woman!

I am happy to be a viper. Thanks for highlighting this OP

Oh, are we not allowed to put this type of thing on AIBU? What a shame, I didn't even know the Petitions topic existed until earlier today.

Oh well, thanks to those who've signed as a result of this thread. And give it a rest Bearbehind, you've made your point. Perhaps do something proactive yourself rather than criticising someone trying to help.

Glad to be a viper

Signed.

Also signed.

Bearbehind that really was pathetic
