More determined than ever Nazanin Afshin-Jam continues the campaign


Despite being very ill with flu , Nazanin has been busy campaigning this month and is expected to continue her non-stop efforts throughout 2007. In her myspace blog, Nazanin Afshin-Jam wrote:

“Today I was interviewed by the Legendary Sir David Frost on his show “Frost all over the World” for Al Jazeera network. I wanted to give him a big hug and congratulate him for a lifelong series of success and dedicated work in Journalism BUT…I was so sick… with sniffles… that I didn’t even attempt to shake the man’s hand. He was very courteous and I asked him if I could add his name to the Stop Child Executions petition and he said “Of course!”.

I have had a series of interviews since I have been in London in the last couple of days including BBC World Update and BBC Asian. Tomorrow I have meetings with Amnesty International head office to discuss some of the more imminent cases of child executions. It has been a successful week of press promoting the campaign. When I was in New York a few days ago, I appeared on Fox’s Hannity and Comes, RedEye, Jamnow.com. I also attended Glamour’s Women of the Year Award. It was so inspirational listening to the courage of some pretty extraordinary women. “

Following last month’s Stella Magazine’s 3 page spread in the Telegraph times, this month Bella magazine in UK will also feature Nazanin and SCE Campaign. Vanity Fair Germany and Flare Magazine are also expected to publish articles about Nazanin and SCE in December. Nazanin is also anticipated to visit the new Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs and other Canadian Parliament members to emphasize Stop Child Executions Campaign and its goals.
