<<Jailed Baha'i Describes Mistreatment and Asks Iranians to Call for Justice
In an audio recording provided to IranWire, Hami Bahadori, 26, a detained member of Iran's persecuted Baha'i religious minority, spoke of his experience during interrogation and imprisonment and his court appearances. Bahadori was arrested on October 22 last year and is being held at Greater Tehran's Fashafouye prison. In his audio recording, he spoke to his fellow Iranians, asking them to speak out for him and to support his quest for justice. He also asked that citizens take a few moments to listen to his story and under-stand the plight of Baha'is in the Islamic Republic. <I am Hami Bahadori, an Iranian, a Baha'i, and a detainee,> he said in the recor-ding, before proceeding to describe the illegal attack by the Ministry of Intelligence on his home five months ago and explaining that he was arrested without a warrant being issued against him. Agents raiding his home confiscated his and his family's belongings, including books, documents, devices and even jewellery. He went on to detail the physical and mental torture he has endured in prison.
<I was kept outside for hours in the cold air, denied access to the toilet, and threatened with execution,> Bahadori said. <They even tried to force me to divorce my wife,> he added. <I was forced to answer their questions about every detail of my life and was put in front of a camera where they demanded that I give my final will before executing me. After filming, they coerced a confession from me.>
He then described the 17 interrogations he endured over an 80-day period.>>

<<Tortured Iranian Rapper Denied Medical Care in Prison, Family Says
The family of Toomaj Salehi is raising alarm over the fate of the jailed Iranian dissident rapper, who has been kept in solitary confinement for almost 160 days. During all that period he has been denied medical treatment despite being inflicted serious injuries by his captors in Dastgerd prison in the central city of Isfahan, Salehi's uncle Iqbal Iqbali told IranWire. Salehi's cousin Shabnam Khosravi said that the family is demanding his immediate release because he <has not committed any crime that would warrant spending 157 days in solitary confinement pending trial.> Salehi has gained notoriety for lyrics that rail against corruption, widespread poverty and state executions in Iran. He was arrested on October 30 after releasing songs in support of the ongoing women-led protest movement and posting pictures and videos of himself during demonstrations. The artist is facing charges that carry death sentences. No date has been set for the trial, his lawyer and family said. Iqbali, who lives in Germany, told IranWire that Salehi's left eye lost sight for some time, and he was unable to speak or eat for up to two weeks due to multiple blows to his head. <His fingers and one leg were broken under brutal torture and need urgent treatment,> he said. <The interrogator insulted him, and Toomaj spat on the his face, and then the interrogator hit him so badly that his eye was seriously injured,> according to Iqbali. Khosravi, who is based in France, said that the Salehi family lodged numerous complaints with the United Nations Human Rights Council regarding the rapper's treatment. <Toomaj is an artist, and it is the Islamic Republic that committed a crime against him by violating his human rights, including freedom of expression, and by keeping him in solitary confinement for more than five months,> she said. Iqbali said Salehi's lawyer Amir Raisian will do everything in his power to help him, while pointing out that attor-neys in Iran are <limited in what they can do.> In such a context, the involvement of the international community and <the millions of young people in Iran who support Toomaj and other political prison-ers is crucial to obtain his release,> the uncle said.>>

<<Ex-Federation Boss: I Suffered Discrimination Because of My Ethnicity
Hossein Souri, head of Iran's National Boxing Federation, said in November 2022 he was refusing to return to his country in support of anti-government protests that had swept the country for weeks. Souri made the announcement while in Spain for a youth boxing tournament. Two young Iranian boxers participating in the competition also asked for asylum. In an interview with IranWire, Souri talked about the problems he faced as a citizen, as an athlete and as the Islamic Republic's boxing boss in a country where ethnic minorities face widespread discrimination and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) see sports as a form of social control to be exploited in pursuit of domestic policy objectives.
Souri is from the south-eastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan, home to Iran's Sunni Baluch minority of up to 2 million people. Human rights groups say the Baluch community and other ethnic minorities in Iran face discrimination in the judicial system and their everyday lives, with the authorities curtailing their access to education, employment, adequate housing and political office.
< believed boxing was the right Choice to Get my Rights>
<I am Hossein Souri, a law graduate and PhD student,> he said. <I started boxing in 1989 and in 1992 I was accepted into the National Youth Boxing Team. I believed boxing was the right choice to get my rights. Sometimes, one feels many pains and wants to get rid of these feelings. Boxing helped me a lot in this regard.> <One day I was walking from Morad Gholi Khan School in Zahedan toward my home,> Souri continued. <I was in Baluch clothing and my friend was wearing the customary clothing of most Iranians. The patrol arrived and treated me very differently than my friend. They stopped us and shaved the top of my head.> After Souri earned his university degree and finished mandatory military service, he got an interview for a job at a government organization. <The first question that they asked me was, 'Are you a Shia or a Sunni?' All Baluchis have had the same experience. This question was the first blot on my career.> In 2004, Souri was elected as the head of Sistan and Baluchistan's boxing board.>>

Opinion by Gino d'Artali: I'm on the brink of becoming a Muslim, that is to say, a Sunni Muslim because during the past six months reporting about the 'Zan, Zendagi, Azadi' revolution I learned quiete well that the shia's are fascists with no respect for anybody from another religious believe nor do not accept equality between men and women.

<<Chastity Vs. Prostitution: Iran's Officials Call For Measures Against Women With <Bad Hijab>
Enforcement of the Islamic Republic’s dress code is expected to reach a new level as the supreme leader's representatives across the country wrote a letter to President Ebrahim Raisi on the matter and a Tehran official said the armed forces should be used to help enforce mandatory hijab laws. <The resources and capabilities of the people, Jihadi forces, media, army, and [paramilitary] Basij forces that were fighting against Covid-19, why shouldn't they be utilized to combat prostitution and bad hijab?> Mohammad Aghamiri, a member of the capital's City Council, said during a council meeting on April 4. Mean-while, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf asked police to deal decisively women with a <bad hijab,> saying that Morality Police was an <ineffective and costly> force. All women in Iran must conceal their hair with a headscarf and wear loose fitting trousers under their coats while in public. But a growing number of women have appeared in public without a hijab since a young woman, Mahsa Amini, died in police custody in September 2022, triggering nation-wide protests demanding more freedoms and women's rights. Amini had been arrested for allegedly wearing a hijab improperly. The authorities have repeatedly warned women and girls to respect the Islamic Republic's dress codes and threatened to punish violators. Many businesses have been shut down due to the failure of owners or managers to observe hijab rules. <Unfortunately, those respon-sible for the matter have not done enough to promote hijab and culture of chastity,> said Ghalibaf, who called for distinguishing women <with weak hijab> from those <who violate norms outright.>
Also on April 4, Mohammad Javad Ali Akbari, Supreme Leader's Ali Khamenei's man in the capital, said that the leader's representatives had written a confidential letter to Raisi about <the state of chastity and hijab.>
The content of the letter has not been made public.
But Akbari said that <the relevant organs of the system are concer-ned and busy working to promote a chaste lifestyle.> <The enemy wants to turn this issue into a factor for polarization among the people and create differences among the revolutionary forces,> he added. Khamenei addressed the issue of compulsory hijab in a meeting with government officials, calling it a <Sharia and legal restriction.> According to the supreme leader, <many individuals who oppose hijab are unaware of the political implications of their actions. If they knew, they wouldn't do it.> >>

Opinion by Gino d'Artali: So 'the game' is changing now to 'the good (khamenei's regime now basically saying all women are prostitutes) against all the 'bad' (Women). Well mister, since your way of playing is calamitous the women will win.

<<20 Iranian Schoolgirls Hospitalized with Poisoning Symptoms
Twenty Iranian schoolgirls were transferred to hospital in the north-western city of Tabriz, an official said, after the latest in a wave of poisoning attacks that have sickened thousands of pupils across the country over more than four months. The head of the emergency service in West Azerbaijan province said the girls were treated after suffering shortness of breath, the news agency ISNA reported on April 4. The official said the general condition of the students was good. The school poisoning occurred in Tabriz's Baghmisheh Town a day after Iranian schools had resumed classes following the Persian New Year break. Since November 2022, more than 5,000 students have suffered symptoms including nausea, fainting, headaches, coughing, breathing difficulties and heart palpitations, with many requiring treatments in hospital. The attacks in more than 200 schools across the country have sparked fear and anger among schoolgirls, their parents and Iranian society at large. After Iranian authorities announced arrests over the poisonings last month, UN experts criticized the Islamic Republic for failing to protect the schoolgirls, prevent further attacks and conduct swift investigations.
The experts also expressed concern about the sequencing of the attacks, which began a few weeks after the September 2022 death of a young woman in police custody sparked nationwide protests.
<We fear that they are orchestrated to punish girls for their involve-ment in the movement - Women, Life, Freedom, and for expressing their opposition to mandatory hijab and voicing their demands for equality.> >>
