Appeal To The Iranian Supreme Court, United Nations and Canadian Parliament
Nazanin's case was scheduled to be reviewed by the Iranian Supreme Court the next week.

Following a meeting with United Nations by Nazanin Afshin-Jam, UN high commissioner Louise Arbour contacted Iranian government regarding Nazanin Fatehi's case. Miss Afshin-Jam also addressed the Canadian parliament members regarding the matter on June 5, 2006 and MP Belinda Stronach rose in the Canadian House of Commons during Question Period to ask the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Peter MacKay to confirm that he had received assurances from the Iranian embassy that a new trial was ordered for Nazanin Fatehi.
