On Thursday, May 11, 2023, a ceremony honoring six selfless and courageous women was held in the Italian Parliament in the presence of Fabio Rampelli, the Vice President of the Parliament. Ms. Antonella Sennori, one of the European Women's Network directors, sponsored the event. She began by introducing the six courageous women who had been actively involved in political and social activities in Italy for years and were recognized by this network as deserving of the Courage Award. The European Women's Network has over ten years of experience in social, cultural, and human rights activities. It is affiliated with the Forza Italia party in Italy. This year, the network selected six women for the award, four of whom are Italian, one is Ukrainian, and the other is Ms. Shahrzad Sholeh, the director of the Iranian Women's Democratic Association in Italy and a supporter of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).>>

Unjust Expulsions and Arrests: Teachers' Struggle Amidst Clerical Regime’s Crackdown
The clerical regime puts more pressure on teachers through arrests, summonses, and expulsions. The Security Department and the Administrative Violations Board of the Ministry of Education have practically turned into the arms of security forces over the past year. They have concentrated all their efforts on baseless file-making for activist teachers to suppress their protests. The Coordinating Council of Teachers' Associations announced that the Violations Board of the Department of Education of Gilan Province had expelled Ms. Fariba Anami, a brave and well-respected teacher in Anzali, upon an unjust and oppressive order. Fariba Anami has been teaching in high schools in Gilan and Anzali for over 25 years. She is one of the hundreds of activist teachers who have solely pursued the realization of their professional rights. Currently, at least 16 freedom-loving teachers are imprisoned in various prisons. Among the charges against these teachers are meeting with the families of those killed during recent protests and sharing content in solidarity with the protests on social media. Ms. Farzaneh Nazeranpour, a teacher residing in Tehran, is among the imprisoned teachers. In mid-March, she was sentenced to ten months in prison by Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran on charges of <propaganda against the state> and <disturbing public opinion.> After the Revision Court upheld the sentence, she was transferred to Evin Prison on May 2, 2023.
In addition to Farzaneh Nazeranpuor, two other female teachers named Atekeh Rajabi and Fatemeh Tadrisi, were arrested and imprisoned on May 9, 2023. Atekeh Rajabi is currently on a hunger strike. Furthermore, Ahvaz's Public and Revolutionary Court has indicted eleven teachers in Khuzestan province. The defense attorney of these teachers has stated that the charges against them include <membership in groups aimed at undermining national security> and <propaganda activities against the Islamic Republic system.> Kowkab Badaghi and Zahra Bakhtiyari, two female teachers, are among the teachers in Khuzestan who have received indictments.>>

<<Soraya Rostami Suffers Nervous Breakdown Due to Pressure at Workplace
Soraya Rostami, an employee at the Water Department in Kamyaran, has been urgently admitted to the hospital due to nervous breakdown due to severe psychological pressures exerted by the department's management and the local government. Her health condition has reached a critical state, causing great concern. Kamyaran is one of the cities of Iranian Kurdistan in western Iran. On Saturday, May 13, Soraya Rostami, who worked in the rural water and wastewater department of Kamyaran County, was transferred to Sina Hospital in Kamyaran following the distressing psychological pressures imposed by government authorities. An informed source has revealed that Jamil Karbasi, the manager of the Water and Wastewater Affairs in Kamyaran, and Salahuddin Zareii, the Deputy of Urban Planning and Development in the county's governorate, directly contributed to the implementation of security measures against Soraya Rostami. These pressures were allegedly a consequence of the <political activities of her family,> leading to the complete suspension of her salary, wages, and monthly income by the administrative system. Moreover, all employees within the department have been warned to sever all ties with Mrs. Rostami. Currently, Soraya Rostami's condition remains critical after being admitted to the hospital, raising serious concerns about her well-being. Disturbing reports suggest similar incidents of organized security measures and government interference targeting civil activists, families of political activists, and even employees in various cities across Kurdistan.>>

<<Evin Security Court Summons Lawyers, including 4 women
Eleven lawyers, including 4 women, are summoned to the Evin Security Court. In recent days, the 7th branch of Evin Security Court has summoned several lawyers, the names of 11 of whom have been obtained so far. Among these 11 attorneys-at-law, four female lawyers stand out: Mitra Izadifar, Marjan Esfahanian, Samin Cheraghi, and Sara Hamzezadeh. The common factor among most of these lawyers is their involvement during the protests and criticism of the adopted procedures. The cases filed for the summoned attorneys-at-law date back to the year 2022. (The state-run Sharq newspaper, May 12, 2023) Marjan Esfahanian is an attorney-at-law and a member of the Central Bar Association. Samin Cheraghi is an attorney-at-law, a member of the National Elite Foundation, and a member of the Central Bar Association. According to a recent notification received by her, she is required to appear before the 7th branch of the Security Court (located in Evin Prison) on Monday, May 21, 2023, to defend against charges leveled against her. Sara Hamzezadeh is a lawyer and a member of the Semnan Bar Association. She must appear before the 7th branch of the Security Court (located in Evin Prison) on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, to defend against charges against her. Ms. Hamzezadeh was apprehended by security forces at her workplace in Shahroud in January 2023 and was released shortly after depositing bail. The 5th branch of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office in Shahroud was examining her case on charges of <propaganda against the state.> Still, she said, <This case has been discontinued following the amnesty circular.> >>

<<Economic Hardship Forces Iranians to Sell Organs
Around a week ago, two Iranian newspapers, Jahan-e Sanat and Etemad, published reports saying that the collapse of the Iranian currency has led to an increase in the sale of body parts in Iran and their purchase by patients abroad. These reports received a lot of attention. The Judiciary Media Center quickly accused the two papers of <publishing unfounded material,> and Tehran's prosecutor summoned the publishers to court to explain and present evidence for their articles. Following the summons, both papers removed their reports from their websites and from their social media accounts.

***

In a field report on May 4, the newspaper Jahan-e Sanat wrote that sale of body parts has increased because Iranians have fallen into the <valley of poverty.> It referred to an alleyway in Tehran that has been known as the <kidney market> for years. Firoozgar Hospital, which specializes in urology and kidney diseases, is located near that square. In this alleyway, advertisements can now be seen in this alleyway for liver, bone marrow and cornea transplants and for sperm and ovum donations, according to the report. The report said that the price for a kidney fluctuates between 500 million and one billion tomans, while the Kidney Foundation of Iran has announced a price of 80 million tomans. The actual price depends on how ill the recipient patient is, the blood type and also on the middleman who arranges the deal between the seller and the buyer. <Almost [all organ sellers] do this because of financial problems. Selling body organs is not confined to a specific age group and gender and most of them are between 18 and 40 years old,> the report said. It also pointed out that the families of many patients inside Iran cannot afford to buy these organs and are forced to sell their car or their home to save the lives of their loved ones. The article said that some of the middlemen send Iranians who need to sell their organs to neighboring countries such as the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) or Turkey where they can sell an organ for between $7,000 to $15,000. The report published by the newspaper Etemad was similar, although it had a catchier title: <Iraqis are in the market for buying Iranian kidneys in dollars!> a clear reference to the reality of the lives of millions of Iranians who face unsolvable financial problems because of the freefall of the Iranian currency. The articles had been quoted extensively by Persian-language media outlets outside Iran and on social media.
The Reports Are Removed but the Sale of Organs Continue
On May 5, while the newsrooms of Jahan-e Sanat and Etemad were preparing their Saturday edition, the Judiciary Media Center accused these two papers of <publishing unfounded material.> Within minutes after the announcement by the judiciary’s media watchdog, the two articles were removed from the newspapers' websites and social media accounts. As of now, neither newspaper has given a reason for doing so.....>>
