No problem, it was easy. :)
P.S.
I notice that some people (perhaps special rapporteur Mai Sato) have explained her situation to the office of the UN high commissioner for human rights, and the UN has published a call for Iran to intervene in her case.
Iran must halt execution of Goli Kouhkan domestic violence survivor: UN experts
I hope the word of the OHCHR suffices - that Iranian officials take note and prevent her execution.
If I were an Iranian official, no matter how conservative or stuck in old ways, I would remember what happened after Mahsa Amini / Jina Amini was killed, and would carefully steer away from repeating any similar chain of events.
Are there any actions you can think of to push on this? It seems like it could help in this case and possibly also in others
Follow-up: thanks to everyone who did something. Today, I received an update from the Qasim Child Foundation (run by Mehdi Ghatei).
He informed that via several donation campaigns, both outside of Iran and inside, the sum of blood money to the family of Goli Kouhkan’s husband has been raised - and during negotiations, they have agreed to drop their demand somewhat and grant forgiveness.
Mehdi mentioned that the goal had been reached without using the donations he gathered, and offered to refund my donation. Since my donation was small, I asked him to use it to help other people in unjust situations.
I hope Goli Kouhkan recovers from the traumatizing situations she has gone through, and manages to re-establish her life.
