Support to Kameel Ahmady

The End FGM European Network are saddened to hear the news of the arrest and detention in Iran of Kameel Ahmady, a social anthropologist, researcher and a friend of the Network. Kameel, who is a British-Iranian dual national was arrested in Tehran on 11 August and continues to be denied access to a lawyer.

As such, we call on the Iranian authorities to ensure Kameel Ahmady is provided legal representation from his choosing and permit Kameel regular visits from family. We also call on Tehran authorities to clarify the grounds of his detention.

Please share you support for this statement and for Kameel on your social media:
