Your Excellency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Islamic Republic of Iran
Dr. Ali Akbar Salehi
Dear Sir,
Along with many other people around the world, I have been following with great concern the case of Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani, who was recently convicted in a trial by the Highest Court in Rasht due to his religious beliefs.
I am writing to express my concern and hope that the court will drop all charges against Pastor Yousef, in accordance with international law and especially Iranian law and constitution, which clearly allows freedom for Christians to maintain their religious beliefs and practices.
I am also requesting Your Excellency to pass on my appeal and that of many others to the Iranian government, as a matter of great urgency in this case, so that an innocent person may not be condemned and the constitution of Iran may not be violated.
Excellency, in our country a man need not to die due to his faith. We have among us people from several religons, include islamics, that we love and respect.
I am very grateful for your attention to this request.
Respectfully and sincerely,
Joao B. Cruzue
Nota: o texto da carta não é meu. Editei apenas a 2ª e 3ª linha do primeiro parágrafo e acrescentei o 4º parágrafo. Na minha pesquisa no site do governo do Irã, descobri que o email do Ministro das Relações Exteriores é: matbuat@mfa.gov.ir . Quem quiser, pode copiar o texto, usar o email, e enviar os pedidos em favor do Pastor Youcef, lembrando: sempre com a maior educação. Quanto mais pessoas escreverem mas saberão que o Pastor não está sozinho. Irmão João.
