<<Iranian Health Officials Report <Catastrophic> Rise in Illegal
Abortions
Officials at Iran's Ministry of Health have raised concerns over
a <catastrophic> rise in the number of illegal abortions performed
outside medical facilities. Suleiman Heydari, the director-general of
the ministry's Medical Monitoring and Accreditation Center, said on
April 17 that <over 70 to 80 percent of illegal and non-medical
abortions are performed outside medical centers,> according to the
semi-official ISNA news agency. Heydari said that most illegal abortions
were performed using “bleeding pills at home> and that <websites> were
selling these products. The official said that around 10,000 legal
abortions are performed annually in Iran for medical reasons. He did not
disclose the estimated number of illegal abortions, but a health
official said that the statistics were <catastrophic.> Saleh Ghasemi,
the secretary of the Center for Strategic Studies of Iran's Population,
previously stated that 95 percent of all abortions in the country are <illegal>
and carried out outside the country's health network.The Islamic
Republic passed the <Youthful of Population and Protection of the Family>
law in 2021 aimed to restrict abortion and contraception and boost the
fertility rate. The legislation received criticism from doctors as well
as women's and children's rights activists. Under the law, abortiomns
ust be approved by a council comprising two jurists, a judge and several
doctors. Doctors who perform illegal abortions face the risk of having
their licenses revoked. In his interview with ISNA on April 17, Heydari
said that all pregnancy cases are registered in the recently launched
National System of Healthy Fertility in a bid to fight against illegal
abortions. During a meeting with staff of the National Population
Headquarters on April 8, President Ebrahim Raisi asked the Ministry of
Health to address the matter and cooperate with the judiciary to <deal
with offenders.> In March, a group of rights activists presented a <Women's
Rights Bill> calling for preserving women's <right to abortion,> among
other things, amid growing concerns regarding the health and safety of
women who resort to illegal abortions.>>

Note from Gino d'Artali: When one connects the 'Child Labor <Problem>'
as quoted below and the '<Catastrophic> Rise in Illegal Abortions' one
could have a 1+1=2. And the economy in Iran is catastropic so here you
have a 1+1+1=3.

<<Iranian Officials Raise Concerns over Child Labor <Problem>
At least 120,000 Iranian children have left the education system
and are currently working, an official said, but the phenomenon of child
labor in the country is believed to be much more widespread. Mohammed
Reza Heydarhai, head of the Social Victims Affairs Office of the Welfare
Organization, said on April 17 that approximately 14,500 street children
were identified over the last Persian year ending in March. He said
10,500 of them received assistance from the Welfare Organization. <Taking
these children won't solve their problem. The issue of child labor and
street children is a problem that must be solved from the root,> he said.
According to children's rights activists, between 3 and 7 million
Iranian children are working. The head of the Social Disadvantaged
Affairs Office raised concerns over the increasing number of children
working as rubbish pickers.>>

<<Iranian Minister Promises Incentive for Protest Artists who
Repent
Iran's Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance has offered
workspace to artists involved in anti-government protests on the
condition that they express <regret.> <We are endeavoring to provide a
work environment for individuals who have expressed regret and
reintegrated into society,> Mohammad Mehdi Esmaeili said on April 17,
according to the semo-official ISNA news agency. <However, the situation
of those who remain at odds with the values of the Iranian population
will be handled differently,> he warned. Many Iranian artists and
celebrities have voiced support for the protest movement sparked by the
death of a young woman in police custody in September 2022 and
criticized the authorities' brutal clampdown on dissent. Actresses
including Katayoun Riahi, Taraneh Alidoosti, Sharareh Dolatabadi,
Shaghayegh Dehghan and Hedieh Tehrani removed their mandatory head
coverings in public and vowed not to participate in projects supported
by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. Publishers and authors
announced their refusal to send works to the Ministry of Education,
citing their unwillingness to tolerate excessive censorship. Some
defiant artists and members of the literary community have been
arrested, summoned or banned, with Islamic Republic officials accusing
them of <fanning the flames of the riots.> The minister of culture
imposed a ban on women artists who removed their hijabs in public.>>

<<IRGC Commander Warns Of <Widening Gap> between Iranians and the
Government
A senior commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
has warned that a stepped-up enforcement of mandatory hijab rules will
lead to a <widening gap> between the government and the people. Writing
in Shargh newspaper on April 17, Hossein Alaei criticized the police
force's treatment of women and girls who do not wear a head covering in
public places, calling it a <repetition of the morality police patrol's
mistake which not only reduced the level of hijab in society but also
caused strong reactions and the spread bad hijab.> He added that the
police force should not deal with <clothing and hijab,> which he said
<should be a social and moral issue.>
....
A lecturer at the Qom seminary, Asghar Nazimzadeh Qomi, warned on
April 14 that <aggressiveness, threats, insults and depriving citizens
of public facilities and services> are <illegal> under Sharia and <do
not help promote the hijab and other Islamic rules.>

Opinion by Gino d'Artali: Oh, widening it is, like a mountain
split in half: on the one end, the protesters, on the other the basijis,
the irgc and the shia clerics who'll never be able to reach out to the
protesters let alone stop them unless the latter named stop arresting;
torturing; killing; shooting with pellets and oppressing girls and
women.

<<Millions of Dollars Allocated to Iranian Hard-Line School every
Year
One of the most hard-line religious schools in Iran was allocated
a total of about $29 million from the public budget over the past eight
years, an amount equivalent to the expenses of nearly 5,700 Iranian
urban households, new research shows. The collaborative initiative Iran
Open Data said in an article published on April 15 that it has examined
the budget law of 2016 through the draft budget bill of 2023 and
concluded that an average of $3,604,000 were allocated annually to the
Imam Khomeini Educational and Research Institute during that period.
Iran Open Data pointed out that the institution most likely receives
other funding both from within and outside of the government budget,
which is impossible to estimate given lack of transparency. The Imam
Khomeini Educational and Research Institute was founded in 1996 under
the general guidance of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and supervision of
Mesbah Yazdi, as a center for theoreticians of violence in Iran. Yazdi,
who died two years ago, was the godfather of Iran's hard-liners. The
government has reportedly allocated a 7,000 square-meter lot in the
religious center of the north-eastern city of Qom for the construction
of the institute.>>

<<No Information about Iranian Journalist Mohammadi's Case,
Husband Says
The husband of jailed Iranian journalist Elahe Mohammadi has
expressed his frustration at the lack of information about his wife's
case and at the violations of her rights by the judiciary. <We met with
every official we could, wrote numerous letters, and spent hours and
days waiting outside Evin prison, the prosecutor's office and the
offices of relevant officials,> her husband Saeed Parsaei wrote on his
Instagram account April 16. <They made promises numerous times, but
despite many visits, neither has our lawyer been granted access to the
case nor have we received any answers or responses. We remain in the
same state of uncertainty as on the first day,> he added. Mohammadi, a
journalist for the Hammihan newspaper, was arrested in September 2022
for covering the events surrounding the death of Mahsa Amini in police
custody, which sparked an ongoing wave of nationwide protests against
the country's clerical establishment. In October, Iranian authorities
accused Mohammadi and another jailed journalist, Nilofar Hamedi, of
being spies for the United States and of being the <primary sources of
news for foreign media.> The two journalists face the death penalty if
charged and convicted of espionage. Dozens of journalists have been
detained across Iran since the middle of September. Some of them have
been released. Others have been summoned, threatened and had their
electronic equipment seized. Known for its harsh Internet censorship,
which includes banning thousands of websites, the Islamic Republic has
on a large scale shut down the internet for most Iranians in an effort
to prevent them from accessing and disseminating information online and
from communicating safely.>>

<< <Life for Bread> Twitter Campaign Puts Killing of Baluch Fuel
Carriers under Spotlight
Many people in and around the south-eastern province of Sistan
and Baluchistan, which is home to Iran's mostly Sunni ethnic Baluch
minority, resort to carrying fuel across the border to make a meager
living. They are called <fuel carriers> (sookhtbars in Persian),
although the government refers to them as <smugglers> and treats them no
better than terrorists. Masoud Raeisi, an administrator of the news and
analysis website Rasank News, is among a group of Baluch activists who
launched earlier this month the <Life for Bread'> Twitter campaign to
honor their dangerous lives. <In the past two weeks, 23 fuel carriers
were killed and injured on the road. Unfortunately, 17 of them were
killed including three who were under 18. This pushed Baluch activists,
including me, to launch a Twitter campaign and to attract media
attention on what these people are going through,> Raeisi told IranWire.
<Fortunately, we succeeded and our efforts were well-received by
activists and Twitter users. More than 51,000 tweets were posted> under
the hashtag #BleedingBread, he added.
Carrying Fuel to Survive
According to these tweets, those killed were either shot directly
by security forces or lost their lives in accidents while being chased
by agents. Des-pite the dangers of the activity, they said, many men in
impoverished areas of south-eastern Iran have no other choice but to
become fuel carriers to make a living. <To survive, these people carry
large volumes of fuel in their unsafe cars, in extremely unsafe
containers, to the borders. Many burn in these death carriages because
the police shoot them or they have accidents during high-speed chases.
Why? It’s their only source of income,> Kamran tweeted. A person, under
the name of Hessam Baluch, told the <short story of a fuel carrier.> <He
had a bachelor's degree, did his military service. Was hoping to get a
job. He had no capital, so he gave up and started carrying fuel. News
came that his body and the car turned into ashes.> He posted a picture
of the scorched national ID card of the man, Osman Molazehi, who died in
the fire. They're not Hired because They are Sunni and Baluch> Another
Twitter user, Nomad, wrote, <Our Baluch fellow countrymen who are forced
to carry fuel are educated but they have no other choice to make a
living since all opportunities have been taken away from them because
they are Sunnis and the jobs go to non-natives who are loyal to the
Islamic Republic and its agents.> IranWire spoke with a Baluch citizen
in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan and Baluchistan, who himself has
carried fuel for some time. He said that before fuel carriers hit the
road, they bid farewell to their families as if they see them for the
last time: <They meet with their families as if they are about to be
hanged. All fuel carriers are in such an extremely painful situation.
Some of my own friends were burned alive. ....The military agents never
order you to stop or give you a warning. They just shoot.> <Most of the
fuel carriers are educated and could have served their community, but
they're not hired because they are Sunni and Baluch,> he added. In May
2020, Alim Yar Mohammadi, member of the parliament from Zahedan, told
the Iranian Labor News Agency (ILNA) that the unemployment rate in
Sistan and Baluchistan was between 40 and 60 percent. However, the real
unemployment rate is believed to be higher.
Killing Fuel Carriers As A Mean to Suppress Baluch People
<Carrying fuel is one of the few jobs that allows people in
Baluchistan to bring bread to their families. In fact, we can even say
that in all Baluch areas the only work that brings an income is to carry
fuel,> Raeisi said.
....
Each week, hundreds of people are taking to the streets of
Zahedan after Friday prayers to protest the bloody repression of the
Islamic Republic.
The Baluch citizen who spoke with IranWire said that the
authorities <want to silence the protesters by killing more fuel
carriers.> >>

<<Detention of Massoumeh Ahmadi and Others Highlights Ongoing
Political Oppression in Iran
Iranian women and girls continue to face human rights violations
and political oppression, as evidenced by the recent arrests and
detention of Massoumeh Ahmadi, Arghavan Fallahi, Sara Nasseri, and Rada
Fatehi. These individuals have been targeted for their involvement in
the Iran uprising, where citizens protested the clerical regime's
policies and actions.
Massoumeh Ahmadi was arrested
On Thursday, April 13, 2023, Massoumeh Ahmadi, the fiancée of
Hamed Salahshour, who was killed during the Iran uprising in Izeh, was
arrested by security forces. Massoumeh Ahmadi was detained while
returning from a ceremony for Reza Shariati, a 21-year-old youth killed
by security forces.
Hamed Salahshour was arrested on November 27, 2022, by IRGC
intelligence forces while traveling from Isfahan to his hometown of Izeh.
He was tortured to death in the IRGC detention center.
Arghavan Fallahi detained in limbo in Evin prison
Arghavan Fallahi and her father and brother are still being
detained in an uncertain status at Evin prison. Arghavan, who is 22
years old, was arrested on November 4, 2022, during the Iran uprising in
Shiraz and was transferred to Evin prison on February 12, 2023. Two
interrogation sessions have been held for this family at the 6th
investigation branch of Evin, but their indictment has not yet been
issued. They face charges such as <waging war on God,> <corruption on
earth through widespread action against the state,> and <assembly and
collusion to commit a crime.>
Sara Nasseri held in an undecided state in Mashhad prison
Sara Nasseri, a 41-year-old woman from Mashhad, was arrested on
December 6, 2022, by security forces during the Iran uprising. After 20
days, Sara Nasseri was transferred from the detention center of
Mashhad's Intelligence Department to Vakilabad Prison. Four months
later, she is still held in an undecided state in Mashhad. Ms. Nasseri's
case is being investigated in Branch 904 of the Mashhad Prosecutor's
Office on <propaganda against the state> and <distributing protest
flyers.> Despite this, the investigator of her case has opposed her
release.
Rada Fatehi is summoned
Rada Fatehi received a summons on April 13, 2023, to appear
before the Criminal Court of Sanandaj, the capital of Kurdistan
Province. Rada is the sister of Ramin Fatehi, who was arrested during
the uprising in Sanandaj and killed under torture. She also received
another summons on April 6 for <disturbing public peace and order.>
Security forces abducted Rada Fatehi from her home on October 14, 2022,
after the arrest of her two brothers, Ramin and Voria Fatehi. Ramin was
killed on the ninth day of detention under torture by agents of the
intelligence department. Voria and Rada were temporarily released after
21 days on bail until their trial was convened.>>
