Dear friends,

My brother Jason Rezaian is the Washington Post Teheran Bureau Chief and he has been unjustly incarcerated for more than 500 days in an Iranian prison for crimes he did not commit.  He has been psychologically abused, physically mistreated, and deprived of due process of law.  To call his trial a travesty of justice is an understatement.

Since the beginning, Reporters Without Borders’s team has been supporting Jason and my efforts to obtain his release.

RSF is always ready to help for whatever I need to obtain the release of my brother. Now I hope you will help me and support Jason Rezaian's release.

RSF invited me to Washington, DC to raise public awareness about Jason’s fate, arranged meetings for me at the White House, the US Congress, the National Press Club, gathered prominent support for Jason from people like Noam Chomsky and Arianna Huffington.

RSF launched the Fund to Support Families of American Journalists Missing, Imprisoned or Held Hostage in order to provide financial assistance to the relatives of missing American journalists in their efforts to secure the safe return and/or release of their loved ones, including reasonable travel expenses, printing costs, communication expenses, legal expenses, …

In the next 24 hours, support Reporters Without Borders and your donation will go to the Fund to Support Families.

Thank you for your generosity and for your support to free Jason.

Ali Rezaian
Brother of Jason Rezaian
