Toronto, 15th December 2018

Iranian American comedian, Maz Jobrani used his two sold-out comedy shows at the Toronto Centre for Arts on 15^th December to call for the release of Saeed Malekpour a Canadian permanent resident unjustly jailed in Iran since 2008.

The International Observatory of Human Rights brought Saeed’s sister, Maryam to the evening event and partnered up with Amnesty International Canada to encourage the audience to sign a petition to free Saeed and show and share their support through social media on hash-tag #Freesaeed.
