İran'da giderek düşen doğum oranı ve buna bağlı olarak azalan nüfusla birlikte doğum kontrolü üzerine çeşitli kısıtlamalar getirildi. Bu kısıtlamalar sonrasında kadınların doğum kontrolüne ulaşmaları ve işe girmeleri zorlaştı. insanları, çocuk yapmaya yönlendirmek için doğum kontrolüne getirilen yasaklara çizimleriyle karşı çıkan Atena FARGHADANI hapis cezasına çarptırıldı.
Çizdiği karikatüründen dolayı Ağustos 2014'de tutuklandı Tahran yönetimi tarafından “Rejim karşıtı propaganda yapma” ve “Ülkenin milletvekilleri ve dini liderini aşağılama” suçlamalarıyla tutuklanan genç kadın, beş (5) ay boyunca İran’ın en “şöhretli” hapishanesi Evin’de tutuldu. Yılmadı, hapishanede de çizmeye devam etti.
Dağıtılan karton bardaklar üzerinde protestosuna devam etti. Gardiyanlar tarafından yakalanınca çizimlerine el kondu ve bardaklara ulaşımı engellendi.
Çizimleri sebebiyle işkenceye uğradı.
Yakalandıktan sonra gardiyanlar tarafından defalarca dövüldü ve çıplak aramaya maruz kaldı. Aralık 2014’de serbest bırakıldı. Ancak hapishanede yaşadığı kötü muameleleri Youtube‘a hazırladığı videoyla anlattıktan sonra tekrar tutuklandı.
Tekrar tutuklandıktan sonra açlık grevine başladı. Ve Şubat 2015'de kalp krizi geçirdi. Sonrasında başka bir hapishaneye nakledildi ve şimdi hücre hapsinde. 20 Mayıs 2015'de tekrar hakim karşısına çıktı. 12 yıl 9 ay hapis cezasına çarptırıldı. Haziran ayı sonuna doğru ise cezaya itiraz süresi doluyor. FARGHADANI'nin serbest bırakılması için İranlı yetkililere ulaştırılmak üzere 33.000'den fazla destek imzası toplandı.
İnsanlar sosyal medyada #FreeAtena hashtag’iyle FARGHADANI’ye destek veriyor
“Atena gerçek bir suç işlememiş siyasi bir suçlu. Konuşma özgürlüğünü kullandığı için haksız bir şekilde cezalandırılıyor.”
An Open letter to:
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei;
President Hassan ROUHANI;
Head of Judiciary Ayatollah Sadeq LARIJANI

Your Excellencies:We understand Iranian artist Atena Farghadani has been sentenced to 12 years 9 months in prison, her appeal to take place within twenty days, and with regard to that appeal would hope you take the following into consideration.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is a party to various Articles within UN International Human Rights Conventions; including Article 19 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ”The right to freedom of opinion and expression,” and Articles 19, 21 and 22 of the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights mandating “The right to express an opinion and freedom of expression” and “The right to freedom of association.”
We are particularly concerned that that right to freedom of opinion and expression through the drawing of a cartoon should be attacked by the Iranian authorities, especially since — as noted by Atena FARGHADANI’s lawyer — “activities on social networks on the Internet [in Iran] are not recognized as crimes.” In addition to that, President Rouhani himself has pledged “support for the Freedom of Speech in Iran’s newspapers, magazines and websites,” with the Minister of Culture reiterating such encouragement. Foreign Minister Zarif also noted during a TV interview that: “We do not jail people for their opinions.”
Many Human Rights organizations and the UN believe that arresting, charging and sentencing Atena FARGHADANI for such activities contravenes the above-mentioned rights, and it is of concern to the international community as it moves into a new era of international co-operation with Iran.
The United Nations, and World Human Rights organizations, consider Atena FARGHADANI to be a prisoner of conscience, presently held for the peaceful exercise of her rights to freedom of expression and association. Being a party to the UN’s International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, we would hope you could see that too.
Since news of Atena Farghadani’s sentence has been announced, and circulated internationally, many people and organizations are expressing concern that it does not correspond with the direction Iran stated it was taking with regard to Human Rights — and cannot understand how such could continue, in particular with relation to the international co-operation now developing between Iran and other nations, which, as with Iran, would be rightly challenged when injustices occur within their own legal systems.
To inform the world that Iran, as with fellow co-signatories, is complying with the Articles of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, it would be hoped that you would reconsider the sentence on appeal, and that the conviction and sentence would be quashed. The world looks on — hoping Iran will, in good faith, free Atena FARGHADANI in this era of international co-operation — and in so doing prove that Iran is indeed a supporter of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, along with other internationally accepted human rights, a vital condition and component within this new era of international co-operation that we are hopefully heading towards.
