Free Hengameh Shahidi

Long-term FUN contributor Miriam Elia is putting on an Amnesty benefit comedy gig on September 29th at The Bloomsbury Theature. The gig is in honor of Hengameh Shahidi; an Iranian journalist and human rights activist who is currently being imprisoned and tortured in Iran, simply for participating in the recent peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations.

The line up is as follows;

Stewart Lee
Shappi Khorsandi
Shazia Mirza
Dan Antopolski
Jessica Stevenson
Julia Davis
Bridgette Christie
Lucy Porter
Pippa Evans
Danielle Ward
Miriam Elia
Sarah Kendall
Arthur Smith
Roisin Conaty
Jodie Kamil
+ more to be announced.

Tickets are available from thebloomsbury.com

All money I raised from ticket sales will go towards Amnesty's 'Equality for Women Campaign.'

As a result of the gig, Amnesty have issued an Urgent Action appeal to release Hengameh Shahidi: http://amnesty.org.uk/actions_details.asp?ActionID=627&LetterID=587

People can sign the form and it will go to the Iranian government via Amnesty
