By taking part, you could help people in similar situations to Yasaman Aryani and her mother, Monireh Arabshahi. In 2019, those two women’s rights defenders were condemned to 16 years in prison for peacefully campaigning against the abusive and discriminatory forced veiling laws in Iran. They simply walked through a women-only train carriage in Tehran with their hair uncovered and handed out white flowers. One month later, they were arrested, interrogated and sent to prison.

But they were not alone. Amnesty International members and supporters took action and signed petitions calling for the Iranian authorities to release them. Funds, including that from lottery entries, helped our Campaigners to work tirelessly for Yasaman and Monireh’s release, raising awareness and putting pressure on the authorities. I am delighted to share with you the amazing news that in February 2024 , Yasaman and Monireh were released from prison early!

Enter the Amnesty Weekly Lottery today! You could win a cash prize and freedom for more people like Yasaman and Monireh.

Elizabeth won £50!

"I play the Amnesty Weekly Lottery to support the excellent work all over the world, especially for asylum seekers and prisoners. A lottery is a good way of supporting such a worthwhile organisation as Amnesty because it’s nice to think you are helping others and you might win something too, although I was very surprised and delighted to receive the cheque. I am going to use the money towards buying Christmas presents for my grandchildren"
