So far only 1 mil has been donated. 26 more days left. Here is the email I received from one of the activists involved:
> If anybody asked you how credible the story is, you can refer them to
> Raahi and Women in Iran. Or see if my explanations can help:
>
> Raahi is an NGO run by Shadi Sadr which provides women with free legal
> counseling. Shadi is a lawyer and women's rights activists. You can
> ask them just too google her! And I think there is no need to
> introduce womeniniran! Its 3-year work can be proof enough. And about
> the paypal account, the account is opened by Nazli Kamvari. as you can
> see in both womeniniran and raahi, nazli is mentioned as a member of
> raahi and womeniniran. the reason we opened the account in canada was
> because of the embargo issues. if there wasn't for the embargo, we
> would open it in US. we are trying to open a none profit organization
> in canada for the similar issues in the future which will be
> affiliated with raahi in iran. nazli will help us with that.
>
> nazli is a PhD.d student of anthropology in toronto and she is a well
> known woman there.
>
> i have full access to the paypal account and check the account
> frequently. the email
donate@raahi.org is the primary email of that
> paypal account which i and shadi have access to it and every payment
> is reported to this email through paypal.
>
> after we collect the money, nazli will send the money to raahi's
> account through Sarrafi. we will later show all the transactions
> evidence to the public.
>
> i hope this info can help you to confirm people who have doubts.
>
> and one more thing, we are supporting this woman, not because she has
> killed someone, but because we are against capital punishment and we
> believe this woman has committed that murder because of being a woman
> and being blackmailed because of her gender.
>
> the family of the victim has accepted to forgive her, only if she pays
> the blood money. so, when the family of the victim forgives, we have
> all the rights to try to collect the money to save this woman from
> being executed due to not having money. This woman also has children
> and they need their mother. The father of children is an addict. When
> this woman was in prison, one of her children was suffocated by gas
> and died because of the father's carelessness.
