taken from the AIM site To Whom It May Concern:
The Facebook accounts of myself and Mina Ahadi have been disabled. We are both campaigning on behalf of Iran Stoning case Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtianiand are well known women's rights activists. Both of us were elected Secularist of the Year and Elle Quebec magazine's 2007 Women of the Year.
Below is a post I did on it on my blog. This is before I found out that Mina's account had also been disabled. Also I was admin of a number ofnon-profit organisation sites including Iran Solidarity, Save Sakine Mohammadi Ashtiani from stoning, One Law for All and others, which I now nolonger have access to.
We are speaking to our campaign lawyer to write an open letter to the heads of Facebook about this but were hoping this would be resolved before we do.
We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Maryam Namazie
Since Monday 14 September, Mina Ahadi and Maryam Namazie's Facebook accounts have been disabled. This attack on the campaign to save Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani must receive a firm response by supporters of the campaign. Please write to Facebook asking them to immediately reinstate their accounts.
ICAS' Abbas Goya has started a campaign on Facebook itself. His protest email below, which gives email addresses you can use, says:

Subject: Strongest Objection: FB appears fallen into Islamic Republic Terror attempt
To Whom It May Concern
This is to notify Facebook about my strongest objection for disabling two Iranian renown Human Rights activists' accounts almost simultaneously.
I personally believe that Islamic Republic agents have something to do with it and Facebook appears to have fallen into their trap.
Please reinstate their accounts IMMEDIATELY.
A thorough, detailed note is posted and shared on his wall.
