Posted June 2, 2023

Niloufar Bayani, an Iranian scholar and environmental conservationist who is falsely accused of espionage and imprisoned in Iran, has published “Climate Literacy in the Land of Oil: Interviews with female political prisoners in Evin,” a manuscript written between April 2022 and March 2023. In the piece, Ms. Bayani, surveys fellow prisoners on climate issues and explores potential reforms.

Ms. Bayani has also been teaching a course on climate change in the women’s ward of Evin prison, and the group recently issued an open letter on environmental concerns in Iran.

Take action on the wrongful imprisonment of Ms. Bayani by sending a letter to Iranian authorities here.
