Dear Friends, 





 Iran could execute Sakineh Ashtiani tomorrow. We saved her from stoning, now we have 24 hours to get key powers to take emergency action to stop this shameful killing. 


Tomorrow, Iran could execute Sakineh Ashtiani. 

Our global outcry stopped her unjust stoning sentence in July. Now we have 24 hours to save her life. 

Iran's allies and key UN powers are our best hope -- they could persuade Iran of the serious political cost of this high-profile killing. Click below to send them an urgent call to action and send this to everyone -- it only takes three minutes and we are her last chance: 

http://www.avaaz.org/en/24h_to_save_sakineh/?vl 

Sakineh's adultery case is a tragic sham stacked with human rights violations. First, she was to be stoned to death. But the Iranian government had to revoke the sentence after her children generated a worldwide outcry against the farcical trial -- she could not speak the language used in court, and the alleged incidents of adultery took place after her husband's death. 

Then her lawyer was forced into exile, and the prosecution conjured up a new trumped-up charge for which she would be executed -- the murder of her husband. Despite this being double jeopardy, as she is already serving time for alleged complicity in this crime, Sakineh was tortured and paraded on national television to 'confess', and was found guilty. Since then the regime has arrested two German journalists, her lawyer and her son, who has bravely led the international campaign to save his mother. All remain in prison and Sakineh's son and lawyer have been also tortured and have no access to lawyers. 

Now Iranian human rights activists state an order has just been issued from Tehran to implement her killing immediately. She is on the list and tomorrow is execution day. 

Our persistent campaigning led Iran to drop Sakineh's stoning sentence and captured the attention of leaders in countries with influence on Iran, like Turkey and Brazil. Now let's urgently raise our voices to stop her killing and inhumane treatment and free her, her lawyer, her son and the jailed German journalists. Send a message and share this emergency call with friends and family: 

http://www.avaaz.org/en/24h_to_save_sakineh/?vl 

A massive public outcry has the moral authority to stop heinous crimes. Let's use these 24 hours to send a clear message -- the world is watching and we all stand together today to save Sakineh's life and against injustice everywhere. 

With hope and determination, 

Alice, Stephanie, Pascal, Giulia, Benjamin and the whole of the Avaaz team

            Hi all.

            I am hoping to revise and expand the short paper I gave  at the PSA conference panel on Anarchism and Feminism earlier this year, and I would appreciate any feedback. It can now be downloaded here . 
            The Gender Politics of Anarchist History: re/membering women, re/minding men 
            or via my website:
            http://judygreenway.org.uk/

            The paper discusses how gendered approaches to anarchist history can generate new ideas about anarchism past, present and future. 

            Thanks,

            Judy

            --

DEMONSTRATE WITH WOMEN AGAINST THE CUTS
Tuesday 30th November 5-7pm
The Treasury, Parliament Street (nearest tube Westminster)

We are facing the most devastating attack on the welfare state and public
services ? health, education, benefits ? the list goes on, and the damage
that will be done will be for generations to come, with women being hit
hardest. It will be women who will face the majority of redundancies,
women who will suffer the effects of the decimation of our public services
most harshly, and women who are expected to take up the essential work,
such as caring, that the government will no longer pay people to do. As
women we must fightback.

Bring noise-makers and friends: join us and we can fight the cuts together!

Women will take to the streets today, Tuesday 30th November, outside the
Treasury, 5 - 7pm. Women from diverse backgrounds and organisations will
voice their protest against the Government's cuts to public expenditure
and welfare reform.
Chris Oliver, from Women Against the Cuts, says,

  "When we heard about the extent of the cuts and the devastating effect
that they would have on women in particular, we felt compelled to do
something. The students have set a precedent and now it's our turn, as
women, to stand up and be counted. Women have a long history of peaceful
protest - from the suffragettes to the women of Greenham Common and the
women who abseiled into the House of Lords in protest at Section 28. Now
it's time to take action again. These cuts threaten to roll back the
progress made by women over the past fifty years and blight the hopes
and aspirations of a younger generation of girls and young women. We
will work together to fight back in our community groups, in our unions,
in our workplaces, in our stay and plays, and everywhere we gather."

Women have taken a disproportionate hit from the measures announced in the
June Budget and Comprehensive Spending Review. These measures will set
women back a generation. Already, research by organisations like the
Fawcett Society, Women's Budget Group and the House of Commons Library
have demonstrated how women will bear the brunt of the cuts:

  1.. Cuts to jobs - two-thirds of public sector workers are women, with
women accounting for 73% of the local government workforce and 77% of
the NHS workforce. Women will be forced out of the labour market in
larger numbers than men and expected to take on the care of loved ones -
children, elderly relatives, partners. Part-time and hourly paid jobs in
which women are over-represented are also likely to be the first to go.
40% of ethnic minority women live in poverty and this figure is likely
to rise as unemployment increases.
  2.. Cuts in social services and benefits - women rely on benefits twice
as much as men do. For example, cuts in Child Tax Credits, Working Tax
Credits, Child Benefit, Housing Benefit and linking pensions to the
Consumer Price Index rather than the Retail Price Index will
disproportionately affect women. The two most vulnerable groups have
been identified as lone parents, 90% of whom are women, and women single
pensioners. The quality of care services for all elderly people in this
country is a national scandal but because women tend to live longer than
men and women's pensions are on average 60% less to that of men's, older
women are particularly vulnerable to cuts in care services.
  3.. Cuts are being introduced on the assumption that women will fill the
gaps, undertaking more unpaid care work in the family. Already women do
4 hours of unpaid work per day - twice that of men. These cuts will mean
that women will continue to foot the bill and now to an even greater
extent, when already they are more often than not the shock absorbers to
poverty. As a result, the level of domestic violence is set to rise when
households feel the squeeze and struggle financially while funding for
women's refuges and legal aid is being cut.
WAC believe that these cuts are unfair and unnecessary:

  a.. The annual deficit is ?70bn but the 1000 wealthiest individuals
gained ?77bn in one year
  b.. ?120 bn of tax goes uncollected, avoided or evaded by the rich
  c.. Cuts to jobs in the Inland Revenue mean that less tax is collected
and those who evade or avoid tax are less likely to be identified
