<<Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee sentenced to 7 years in prison
Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee was sentenced to 7 years in prison, banned from
leaving the country and attending parties and groups, and her phone was
confiscated. On Thursday, April 13, 2023, Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee was
sentenced to 6 years in prison for <assembly and collusion> and one year
for <propaganda against the state> in the 26th branch of the
Revolutionary Court of Tehran. The sentence implemented for her will be
six years. She was also sentenced to a 2-year ban on staying in her
hometown Tehran, and a 2-year ban on attending parties and groups. Her
mobile phone is also going to be confiscated. The presiding judge said
he would disagree with her temporary release on bail. The trial of
Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee was held at the 26th Branch of the Revolutionary
Court of Tehran on January 4, 2023. The security forces and the
Judiciary had pressured Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee to write a written
request for amnesty. Ms. Ebrahimi refused to do so every time. Security
forces violently arrested Golrokh Iraee at her home on September 26,
2022. They ransacked her residence and confiscated some of her personal
belongings. In late October, Branch 2 of Evin's Prosecutor's Office
informed Ms. Iraee regarding <assembly and collusion> and <propaganda
against the state.> Golrokh Iraee had been previously arrested and
detained for her activities. In the latest case against her, the 26th
Branch of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran sentenced her to three years
and seven months in prison. The court also deprived her of membership in
any group or party for two years. The Revision Court later upheld the
above verdict without convening any hearing.>>

<< <Execution Machine:> Iran Hanged 75 Percent more People in 2022
Iran executed at least 582 people in 2022, 75 percent more people than
the previous year, two rights groups say, denouncing an <execution
machine> aimed to <spread fear among people> as anti-government protests
swept the country. Last year's number of executions was the highest
since 2015 and well above the figure of 333 recorded in 2021, the
Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) and France's Together Against the
Death Penalty (ECPM) said in their <Annual Report of the Death Penalty
in Iran 2022.> Iran has been swept by anti-government protests sparked
by the September 2022 death of a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, who had
been detained for allegedly wearing her headscarf improperly. The
authorities responded to the women-led protest movement with a fierce
crackdown in which 520 people were killed and over 20,000 were
unlawfully detained. After biased trials, the judiciary has handed down
stiff sentences, including the death penalty, to protesters. At least
four young men were hanged in protest-related cases, prompting an
international outcry. IHR director Mahmood Amiry Moghaddam said that
while the international reaction was keeping protest-related executions
in check, the Islamic Republic was pressing ahead with executions on
other charges to intimidate the population.
<...in order to spread fear among people, the authorities have
intensified the execution for non-political charges. These are the
low-cost victims of the Islamic Republic's execution machine,> he
added.According to the report, 100 protesters still risked execution
after being sentenced to death or facing charges that carry the death
penalty. The report expressed alarm over a sharp rise in the number of
drug-related executions following the eruption of the nationwide
protests.>>

Iranian Athletes Pressured to Participate in <Quds Day> Rallies
<<Iranian athletes could face punishment if they don’t participate in
annual Quds Day marches across the country later this month, IranWire
has learned, in what would be yet another example of state interference
in sports. The Islamic Republic's authorities are organizing the rallies
on the last Friday of the Islamic month of Ramadan, which this year
falls on April 21, in solidarity with the Palestinians. A directive seen
by IranWire and signed by Karamali Iraji, the deputy director-general of
the Ministry of Sports and Youth, says that athletes are required to
attend the rallies, citing the <noble cause of....the Palestinian
resistance,> a resolution of the Coordination Council for Islamic
Propagation and instructions by the Tehran Governorate. The directive
was agreed last week during a meeting between Minister of Sports and
Youth Hamid Sajjadi and his deputies. The source at the Ministry of
Sports and Youth who provided the document to IranWire said that copies
were sent to all provincial sports boards across the country. The
ministry is considering possible incentives for athletes who will attend
the state-sanctioned rallies and punishment for those who won’t, the
source said. Iranian sports has become increasingly politicized. Most
sports bodies had been taken over by political or security-military
organizations, with former members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps holding the top positions. Earlier this year, the European Union
imposed sanctions on Sajjadi for pressuring Iranian athletes into
silence, including climber Elnaz Rekabi who competed in South Korea
without mandatory headscarf amid widespread anti-government protests
inside Iran.>>

<<Baha'i Collapses after Agents Search Home
A Baha'i resident of Kerman, Pouran Zand, went into a state of shock and
lost consciousness after agents from the Intelligence Department entered
her home on Tuesday morning. The family had to call an ambulance.
According to IranWire sources, the agents presented a warrant and
proceeded to search the house, confiscating various items including
mobile phones, movies, CDs and books. Zand's daughter protested at the
officers' conduct. They responded by searching her personal belongings
as well, but without a warrant, and threatening to record all her
conversations. The inappropriate behaviour of the agents' during the
search has raised concerns about the treatment of citizens by law
enforcement agencies. The agents later left the Zand home before the
arrival of the ambulance.>>

<<Prominent Iranian Activist Qoliyan Beaten, Threatened with Rape In
Custody
Well-known civil rights activist Sepideh Qoliyan, who is awaiting trial
for <insulting> the Islamic Republic's leader, has been subjected to
physical abuse and threatened with rape while in custody, a relative
told IranWire. Qoliyan was re-arrested last month, hours after she
posted on Twitter a video of herself without the mandatory hijab
shouting slogans against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei upon her release
from Tehran's Evin prison.
Her case was sent to branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, which
is scheduled to start hearings on April 18. Qoliyan said she won't take
part in the proceedings.Qoliyan was initially detained during a workers'
strike in November 2018 and later sentenced to 19 years and six months
in prison. The sentence was reduced to five years on appeal. The
activist was released on March 15 after being granted <amnesty.> <Khamenei
the Zahhak! We'll take you down into the grave,> she shouted outside
Evin prison, referring to a mythical king said to have fed serpents
growing out of his shoulders with young people's brains. As the video
showing Qoliyan's act of defiance was spreading on social media, police
stopped the car carrying Qoliyan and her family and detained the
activist. After being held for several hours in Arak, south-west of
Tehran, she was transferred to Ward 209 of Evin prison on the same day.
<I Should Cut your Tongue off>
Her relative told IranWire that upon entering the ward, a muscular man
rushed toward Qoliyan and asked, <Are you a little elf who insulted Agha?
<I should cut your tongue off,> the man added. The man attempted to pull
the activist's tongue out and beat her for several hours while
threatening her with rape. <We will tie your hands and feet and take
good care of you!> the interrogators told Qoliyan. In Ward 209, she was
forced to sleep on the floor in the corridors without any blanket. She
was informed that she would be transferred to Tehran's Fashafouye
prison. When Qoliyan expressed surprise at being sent to a male prison,
her jailers said, <A men's prison is the right place for a woman like
you. You want to draw men's attention with your work, and we'll help you
achieve your goals.> On March 19, she was taken to Fashafouye prison. In
front of the facility, she was left in a car for hours with a siren
blaring. After that, while being taunted, Qoliyan was then taken to
Varamin’s Qarchak prison, which refused to admit her. After wandering
for a long time, the activist was returned to the women's ward of Evin
prison at 11 p.m.
The Court has 'no Legitimacy'
In a letter released from Evin prison on April 13, Qoliyan said the
court handling her case has no legitimacy and that she will not
participate in the legal proceedings as long as the government of
<Islamic executions> remains in power. <Our promise still stands.
Freedom is not to be given but to be taken, and I, Sepideh Qoliyan,
stand by the promise I made to the people of Iran,> she wrote. Hours
earlier, the judiciary announced it had charged Qoliyan with <insult>
and that the indictment was sent to the Revolutionary Court in Tehran on
March 19. According to documents obtained by IranWire, the indictment is
based on Article 514 of the Islamic Penal Code, which provides for
imprisonment ranging from six months to two years for a person who
insults Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic, or the
supreme leader.>>

<<Electric Shocks, Beatings: Iranian Protester Describes Time in Jail
Ali Bahrampour's ordeal began after he attended a November 2022 ceremony
in Karaj, near Tehran, for a victim of the brutal crackdown by the
authorities on protests that erupted following the death of Mahsa Amini
in police custody. Bahrampour, 39, tells IranWire that he spent nearly
three months in an un-official detention center and a prison in the
northwestern city of Qazvin, where he was threatened, tortured and
forced to confess to crimes he had not committed. The man, who authored
15 books on social communication technology, was sentenced to a total of
eight years, but he managed to flee the country after being granted a
temporary leave from prison. As police clashed with the mourners
attending the ceremony in Karaj, Bahrampour asked a passing car to take
him to the Caspian city of Bandar Anzali, where he could find a safe
place to hide, he tells IranWire. About an hour later, he and the driver
were sitting in a roadside restaurant when they were detained by 21 men,
both armed and unarmed. He was taken to a detention center controlled by
the Qazvin City Intelligence Department. Over the past months, security
forces have transferred detained protesters in mosques, schools and
other non-official detention centers, where they subjected them to acts
of torture and other ill-treatment. During the first few hours after his
arrest, Bahrampour's jailers said he would be sentenced to death because
he had published a video <teaching people how to defend themselves
against the oppressors' batons with a water pipe.> <They took me
outside, removed my clothes in a yard-like area and took pictures of my
tattoos,> Bahrampour says. <They hit my tattoos with a stick, and a tall
man slapped me, saying, 'Do you teach people to fight? You thought we
couldn't find you?’ Later, I found out that he was my interrogator and
that he was named Hosseini. He also threatened to execute me.>
After being beaten for a few hours, the inmate was taken to an
interrogation room where he was subjected to electronic shocks and was
beaten with a stick. After that he spent more than 20 hours in a
solitary cell without being given food or water. Bahrampour was forced
to confess to teaching violent practices on the internet, a claim he
denies. State media has published a heavily edited video of Bahrampour's
<confession.> During his 85-day temporary detention in Qazvin's
overcrowded Chobindar prison, Bahrampour was beaten until he gave the
password of his mobile phone. He also witnessed systematic harassment of
other political and ideological prisoners. <Many prisoners did not even
have a blanket and had to sleep on the carpeted floor. We were allowed
to use the phones for only two hours, and almost 400 people had to use
four phones to make calls,> he said. <If we asked about the protests on
the phone, they would immediately stop the communication and would not
allow us to make any calls for several days. They harassed us as much as
possible and did not provide dinner for the entire hall, or lunch for
example. When there were 350 people, they only brought food for 100. The
prison had a store, but they didn't open it for five days, preventing us
from even buying an egg,> he added.
Bahrampour was sentenced to five years in prison for <inciting people to
fight and kill each other with the intention of disrupting the country's
security.> He received another two-year sentence for <insulting the
leadership> and one year for <propaganda activity against the Islamic
Republic>. He was also banned from leaving the country for two years and
had his mobile phone confiscated.>>
