Dear Tracy,

After more than five years in prison, and with an execution order on his life, Hamid has been released from prison in Iran!

Tens of thousands of people in Canada have worked together for this outcome, through tireless campaigning, talks in community centres, personal letters of hope sent to Hamid, emails, petitions. Officials and government representatives in Canada added their voice, calling for Hamid's release in Parliament.

We've truly poured our hearts into the daunting task of protecting Hamid's human rights and his safety.

At a moment like this, I can't say enough to thank you for what you've helped us accomplish.

Our efforts have helped bring an outcome that can't be measured or taken away: a human life has been spared.

This is why Amnesty International exists.

Please celebrate with me, and share this wonderful news widely.
