The Face of Love
On January 31st Nazanin Fatehi was finally freed from prison after karmically blessed Member of Canadian Parliament Belinda Stronach, who my cousin Nazanin first got interested in this case, paid the $10,000 they still needed for her bail.
from www.helpnazanin.com:
A few days later, Nazanin was released from prison and had an emotional reunion with her family. While she could hardly speak and in tears of happiness , she said: "The only thing I can say now is that I am extremely happy. It is as if I am born again. I want to thank everyone who helped make my freedom possible and I want to say that I love you all from the bottom of my heart".
The crazy thing I learned from the documentary they made about this was that my cousin got involved because an Iranian in Paris who did a web search on "Nazanin", to try to find more information on her case, came across my cousin's website, and seeing that she was a public figure contacted her to see if there was anything she could do to bring attention to this case, and then Nini contacted Amnesty and it went from there. Random? There are no accidents. You know there were angelic powers at work and in the 21st century they go online to get the job done. What can I say?--I love the internet!
You can find out more about this, including how Belinda Stronach got involved, in the half-hour documentary, The Tale of Two Nazanins, streaming at http://www.bodog.tv/.
You can also check out a short clip of my cousin discussing the case at:

Please be advised that both this clip and the documentary have some disturbing images, but then they are dealing with human rights abuses and capital punishment so it's a very disturbing subject.
