<<British-Iranian journalists in UK warned of death threats from Iran.
British-Iranian journalists based in the UK have been warned by police
of imminent and credible death threats from Iran, prompting a call from
the House of Commons for the UK to proscribe Iran's Revolutionary Guards
as a terrorist group. Volant Media, the London-based broadcaster of Iran
International TV, said two of its jour-nalists had been notified by the
Metropolitan police that the threats <represent an imminent, credible
and significant risk to their lives and those of their families>. It
said other staff members had been warned by the Met of separate threats.
The broadcaster said in a statement: <These lethal threats to British
citizens on British soil come after several weeks of warnings from the
IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] and Iranian government about
the work of a free and uncensored Farsi-language media working in
London.>
The channel continues to cover anti-government protests in Iran
following the death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of the morality
police. The Conservative backbencher Bob Blackman raised the issue in
the Commons on Tuesday as he urged the government to proscribe the IRGC
as a terrorist organisation. Blackman said: <Thousands of Iranians have
been arrested for just demonstrating their support for people who have
been murdered. Now I've been supplied with a long list of people who
have been sentenced to death for just protesting. And even worse now,
British-Iranian reporters who are now sited in the UK have been issued
with credible threats by the police that the IRGC threatens their lives.
What more does the IRGC have to do before we proscribe them in their
entirety?> David Rutley, a Foreign Office minister, replied: <We've been
clear about our concerns with the IRGC's continued desta-bilising
activity throughout the region and the UK maintains a range of sanctions
that work to constrain that destabilising activity. <The list of
proscribed organisations is kept under constant review but we do not
routinely comment on whether an organisation is or is not under
consideration for proscription.> A Metropolitan police spokesperson
said: <We do not comment on matters of protective security in relation
to any specific individuals. We would advise anyone with concerns over
their safety to contact police so that officers can assess the situation
and offer any safety and security advice as and where necessary.> >>

<<Political prisoner Leila Hosseinzadeh: Resistance has no limit.
News Center- Women keep taking to the streets across Iran by
chanting, <Jin, Jiyan, Azadi (English: Women, Life, Freedom)> while
women prisoners resist in prisons. Political prisoner Leila Hosseinzadeh
sent a letter reading, <Resistance has no limit> from prison and
announced that they, as women prisoners, resist the Hijab law despite
difficult conditions in prison. Sending the letter through her family,
she said that women prisoners do not wear hijab in the prison to protest
the Hijab law.
<The resistance of women will bring revolution>
In her letter, Leila Hosseinzadeh wrote, <For the resistance,
there is no difference between the streets and the prisons. We stand
against persecution everywhere. Resistance has no limit. All women in
the prison feel the uprising outside every second. We believe that the
resistance of women will bring the revolution with it. Now, I am behind
bars. Whenever I go to bed and wake up, I hear the noise of the iron
bars. But I keep struggling.>
She is denied access to her medicines
Leila Hosseinzadeh's family shared her letter on social media
platforms and reported that the health condition of Leila Hosseinzadeh
is deteriorating. Underlining that Leila Hosseinzadeh has not received
any treatment both inside and outside of the prison, her family wrote
that she is denied access to her medicines. Suffering from Crohn's
disease, Leila Hosseinzadeh, a student activist and student of
anthropology at Tehran University, was arrested on December 7, 2021,
while visiting Shiraz, the capital of Fars Province in southern Iran.

<<Iran's younger generation at the heart of the protest movement
Hadis Najafi, 22. Sarina Esmailzadeh, 16. Nika Shahkarami, 16. These
young people have become martyrs of the anti-regime protests in Iran.
Their names have become hashtags and rallying cries for the thousands
taking to the streets. They are among the more than 300 people who have
been killed in the massive demonstrations, according to Oslo-based NGO
Iran Human Rights.
Of those killed in Iran's widespread protests, at least 41 are under the
age of 18. These children and teenagers belong to Iran's younger
generation, which has become central to the movement. While people of
all ages are participating in the protests - which erupted over the
death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after she was arrested by Iran's
morality police - young people are particularly incensed. We spoke to an
Iranian schoolteacher to learn more about what is motivating girls and
boys to join the demonstrations. On condition of anonymity, she
explained to us that her students are ready to fight and die for the
cause.>>

<<Iranian high schoolers join anti-regime protests as they return to
school.
The explosive protests that have spread around Iran have made their way
into universities and even high schools following the start of the
school year in October. Videos shared online show crowds of students
protesting, many of them girls and young women. They have been filmed
chanting slogans, marching through the streets and taking off their
headscarves in school courtyards - acts of defiance that are often met
with harsh retaliation by security forces.
Chanting <Death to the dictator!> and <Woman! Life! Freedom!>, young
women and girls have been at the forefront of protests around Iran since
September 16. With the start of the Iranian school year on October 2,
the unrest has moved from the streets to the schoolyard.
At a high school in a city near Tehran, an official from the Ministry of
Education came to talk to students about the importance of wearing the
Islamic headscarf on October 3. But a group of young girls yelled at him
<Shame on you!>, threw objects at him and then chased him out of the
school. In a similar scene, a representative from the paramilitary Basij
forces, a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, came to speak
to a group of high school girls in a city in central Iran. The students
responded by taking off their headscarves and waving them in the air
while chanting <Get lost, Basiji!> >>

<<Iran: Fresh protests erupt after death of Kurdish student
23 hours ago23 hours ago
Demonstrators in the northwestern city of Marivan are angered by the
reported killing of 35-year-old Nasrin Ghaderi. Iranian lawmakers,
meanwhile, urged severe punishment for <rioters.> Fresh demonstrations
occurred in the northwestern Iranian city of Marivan on Sunday,
following the death of Kurdish student Nasrin Ghaderi.
The latest flare of protests comes as anti-government demon-strations in
Iran continued for a seventh week in one of the biggest shows of dissent
in years.
What do we know so far?
Nasrin Ghaderi died on Saturday after falling into a coma. She was
reportedly attacked by security forces in an anti-government
demonstration in Tehran and suffered severe blows to her head.
Regime-critical news outlet Iran International reported that 35-year-old
Ghaderi was studying for a doctorate in philosophy in the capital.
She originally came from Marivan, which lies in Iran's Kurdistan
province. Omid Memarian, the director of communications at the
Washington DC nonprofit Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), posted
a video on Twitter showing demonstrators gathered on the streets of
Marivan. Norway-based Kurdish rights group Hengaw said police shot at
protesters in the city, wounding dozens. Hengaw reported that Ghaderi
was buried without a memorial service, as Iranian authorities believed
the event would lead to unrest.>>

<<Iranians defy crackdown with fresh protests, as president dismisses US
vow to 'free Iran'
Iranian students protested and shopkeepers went on strike despite a
widening crackdown, according to reports on social media, as
demonstrations that flared over Mahsa Amini's death continued for a 50th
day. Saturday's protests came as President Ebrahim Raisi said Iran's
cities were <safe and sound> after earlier dismissing a pledge from the
US president, Joe Biden, to <free Iran>. The Islamic Republic has been
gripped by protests that erupted when Amini died in custody after her
arrest for an alleged breach of the country's dress code for women.As
the working week got under way, security forces adopted new measures to
halt protests at universities in Tehran, searching students and forcing
them to remove face masks, activists said. But demonstrators were heard
chanting <I am a free woman, you are the pervert> at Islamic Azad
University of Mashhad, in north-eastern Iran, in a video published by
BBC Persian. <A student dies, but doesn't accept humiliation,> sang
students at Gilan University in the northern city of Rasht, in footage
posted online by an activist. In the north-western city of Qazvin,
dozens chanted similar slogans at a mourning ceremony 40 days after the
death of demonstrator Javad Heydari - a custom that has fuelled further
protest flashpoints. The Norway-based Hengaw rights group said people
were observing a <widespread strik> in Amini's home town of Saqez, in
Kurdistan province, where shops were shuttered.
A video aired later by Manoto, a television channel based abroad and
banned in Iran, appeared to show students locked inside Islamic Azad
University in north Tehran.

<<New Iran protests erupt in universities, Kurdish region.
The protests, triggered in mid-September by the death of Mahsa Amini
after she was arrested for allegedly breaching strict dress rules for
women, have evolved into the biggest challenge for the clerical
leadership since the 1979 revolution. Unlike demonstrations in November
2019, they have been nationwide, spread across social classes,
universities, the streets and even schools, showing no sign of letting
up even as the death toll ticks towards 200, according to one rights
group. Another rights group, Norway-based Hengaw, said security forces
opened fire on Sunday at a protest in Marivan, a town in Kurdistan
province, wounding 35 people.
It was not immediately possible to verify the toll. The latest protest
was sparked by the death in Tehran of a Kurdish student from Marivan,
Nasrin Ghadri, who according to Hengaw died on Saturday after being
beaten over the head by police. Iranian authorities have not yet
commented on the cause of her death. Hengaw said she was buried at dawn
without a funeral ceremony on the insistence of the authorities who
feared the event could become a protest flashpoint.
Authorities subsequently sent reinforcements to the area, it added.
'Fundamental changes'
Kurdish-populated regions have been the crucible of protests since the
death of Amini, herself a Kurd from the town of Saqez in Kurdistan
province.>>
