Jinha - Womens News Agency 27 Dec 2023
<<Iranian authorities seal 50 shops, restaurants, cafes in Qom
Since the beginning of 2023, Iranian authorities have sealed 50 shops, restaurants and cafes in the city of Qom for not observing <mandatory dress code>.
News Center- Since the beginning of 2023, Iranian authorities have sealed 50 shops, restaurants and cafes and warned 65 more in the city of Qom for not observing <mandatory dress code>. Since the nationwide protests sparked in Rojhelat and Iran following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran's so-called <morality police> on September 16, 2022, many women have refused to wear hijab in public spaces. The Iranian regime has used many methods to suppress the protests and force women to wear hijab. One of these methods is the sealing of shops, restaurants and cafes for serving women without hijab across the country.>>

<<IRGC Commander was Latest to be Killed in Syria
Razi Mousavi, also known as Seyyed Razi, a prominent commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Syria on December 24. While other commanders of his rank, including Hassan Shateri, have been killed by Israeli forces in Syria before, Mousavi's death has significant strategic implications in the context of the ongoing Gaza conflict. Israel's attack on Iranian positions in Damascus and the killing of Mousavi is a response to recent attacks by the Yemeni Houthi rebels on ships in the Red Sea and Iranian proxy forces' attacks on American bases in Iraq. The Islamic Republic faces limitations in its response due to concerns about escalating the conflict.
Association with Suleimani
Mousavi was born in the village of Chashem in central Semnan province. During the Iran-Iraq war he was active in the Zanjan unit of the IRGC. He had been travelling to Syria and Lebanon since the 1980s. In his last position he was responsible for supporting and managing logistics for the Quds force, the overseas branch of the IRGC in Syria. Arab media aligned with Iran reported that Mousavi was involved in the <Sahara> operation in the Damascus suburbs against opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Mousavi oversaw the transfer of troops and weapons to Syria and Lebanon. He was also responsible for logistics and escorting the late Qassem Suleimani and other commanders during their time in Syria. In the documentary about Suleimani 1.20 Flight Mousavi's voice can be heard, and his body is shown from the neck down. After reports emerged of Suleimani's assassination by the United States in Baghdad in January 2020 the Quds force commander's daughter Zeinab called Mousavi, who initially falsely claimed that her father was in Syria visiting Bashar al-Assad. In another documentary, 72 Hours, Mousavi's image is shown. He describes events related to Suleimani's trip to Syria, saying that he had told several people, including Mousavi himself, that <they were old and should become martyrs.> Hossein Akbari, Iran's ambassador to Syria, mentioned that Mousavi served as the second counsellor of the Iranian embassy in that country. Some Iranian senior commanders are sent to Syria with diplomatic titles. Israel, aware of Mousavi's residence and movements, targeted him, successfully identifying his exact location with the help of spies, according to Jaafar Asadi, a former commander of Iranian forces. Israel had previously targeted the same location, mistakenly thinking Mousavi was there. The Islamic Republic's Reaction and the Prospect of Retaliation. While Israel has previously targeted commanders of Mousavi's calibre in Syria and Lebanon, the circumstances surrounding his death are unique.<Undoubtedly the usurper and savage Zionist regime will pay for this crime,> Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said in a statement read on state TV. <This action is another sign of the frustration, helplessness and weakness of the occupying Zionist regime.> The Israeli military is on high alert due to the potential threat of attacks from Syria or other proxies associated with the Islamic Republic in Lebanon and Iraq.
Deaths of Senior Iranian Commanders in Syria: A Complex History
The history of IRGC commanders killed in Syria is complex and intertwined with regional tensions.
In February 2013 Hassan Shateri, also known as Hossam Khoshnevis, then head of the Southern Lebanon Reconstruction Headquarters, was killed while traveling from Damascus to Beirut. Some reports attributed his death to an Israeli airstrike, but the details remain unconfirmed. In January 2015 an Israeli attack resulted in the deaths of Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of prominent Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh - who himself had been killed in a car bombing in Syria in 2008 - and Mohammad Ali Allahdadi, an IRGC commander in the Golan Heights. Both had held leadership positions in Lebanon and Syria before their deaths. Hossein Hamedani, considered the highest-ranking IRGC figure, also died in Syria, but the circumstances remain unclear. Some reports suggest he died from gunfire in clashes with rebel groups, while others claim it was a road accident.
Other IRGC commanders, including Abdullah Eskandari, Hamid Mokhtarband, Mohammad Jamalizadeh Paqala, Ismail Heydari, Hadi Kajbaf, Said Sayah Taheri and Hassan Ali Shamsabadi, have also lost their lives in Syria.>>

Hijab fascist enforcers
NCRI - Womens committee - in Women's news - 26 Dec 2023
<<Hijab monitors and plainclothes agents search passengers' personal belongings
Hijab monitors and plainclothes agents search passengers’ personal belongings at the City Theatre Metro Station. The eyewitness observation was reported by journalist working for the state-run Jamaran.news on Tuesday, December 26, 2023. The report states, plainclothes agents present in this station undertake measures, including <illegal filming of people under the pretext of Hijab warning, checking their mobile phones without written warrant and taking pictures from the telephone's registry, searching the passengers' backpacks and bags.> One of the agents was cited as saying these measures <are the instructions of the Interior Ministry and Tehran's Municipality aids in this plan.> These measures are beyond the duty of Hijab monitors defined as giving verbal warnings. Obviously, the clerical regime is using the Hijab monitors and their teams to identify their opponents. The clerical regime's interior minister had earlier claimed that the widespread presence of Hijab patrols had nothing to do with the Interior Ministry. He claimed that they did not need any licenses to carry out their duties. However, two daily newspapers published photos of the Interior Minister's <top secret> directive on May 30, 2023, which emphasized on the arrest and dealing with women who removed their Hijab. Despite the publication of this document, Vahidi said Hijab patrols did not need to have licenses to carry out their duties. One of the regime officials revealed on December 22, 2023, that Hijab Monitors were not acting spontaneously and on their own will. Abdul-Hossein Khosrow-Panah, secretary of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution (SCCR), said the activities of Hijab monitors were organized by the Chastity and Hijab Garrison and the SCCR, and coordinated by the Interior Ministry.>>

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 26 Dec 2023
<<Kurdish Religious Prisoner Davud Abdullahi Transferred to Solitary Confinement Amidst Imminent Threat of Execution
After 14 years of detention, Davud Abdullahi, a Kurdish religious prisoner from Mahabad, has been relocated to the solitary confinement of Ghezel Hesar prison, Karaj, to face execution of his death sentence. In light of the recent executions of Qasim Abesteh and Ayoub Karimi, fellow religious prisoners involved in the same case, Abdullahi now faces an immediate threat of execution. According to reports obtained by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights on Tuesday, December 26, 2023, Davud Abdullahi, sentenced to death, was moved to solitary confinement in Ghezel Hesar prison. The Hengaw Organization for Human Rights expresses profound concern over Abdullahi's transfer to solitary confinement, raising immediate apprehensions about the imminent execution of his death sentence. Such actions flagrantly violate international human rights obligations, particularly the right to life. Hengaw calls for an immediate cessation of these proceedings and advocates for a comprehensive review of his case in adherence to international standards of justice. This transfer occurred subsequent to the execution of Qasim Abesteh on Sunday, November 5, 2023, and Ayoub Karimi on Wednesday, November 29, 2023. Davud Abdullahi, Farhad Salimi, Anwar Khezri, Qasim Abeste, Khsraw Besharat, Kamaran Shekha, and Ayoub Karimi were apprehended on December 7, 2009, by security forces and were subsequently transferred to the intelligence agency detention center in Urmia City. As the last accused in the murder case of <Abdul Rahim Tina,> these religious activists were sentenced to death on charges such as >action against national security,> <propaganda against the regime,> >membership in Salafi groups,> and <corruption on earth> by Branch 28 of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran, presided over by Judge Moghiseh. The session for the accusations against these 7 Kurdish religious prisoners took place at the end of March 2015, with the mentioned sentences officially communicated to them on May 25, 2016. It's noteworthy that the verdict was overturned by the 41st branch of the Iranian Supreme Court, headed by Judge Razini, in 2017. An appeal was made to the 15th branch of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran, where, in June 2017, Davud Abdullahi and six other co-accused were again sentenced to death by Judge Abolqasem. This verdict was confirmed by the 41st branch of the Iranian Supreme Court with repeated pressure from the Iranian Intelligence Department in Urmia. On Monday, March 4, 2020, it was officially communicated to Mahmoud Walizadeh Tabatabai, the lawyer representing these seven Kurdish religious prisoners. These seven individuals were initially incarcerated in Gohardasht prison and were later transferred to Ghezel Hesar prison in Karaj on August 1, 2023, following the evacuation of Gohardasht prison.>>

Mahdiyeh Hospital nurses protesters
NCRI - Womens committee - 25 Dec 2023 - in Women's News
<<Mahdiyeh Hospital nurses hold protests against poor wages
Nurses working for Mahdiyeh Hospital at Tehran's Melli University held a protest in the premises of this hospital, on Monday, December 25, 2023, to protest poor wages, the lack of implementation of tariff laws, and forced over-time work with low fees. Overtime work for nurses who work 12 to 16 hours a day is something like forced labor, they say. The protesting nurses at Mahdiyeh Hospital called for fair compensation and better working conditions. While there is a shortage of nurses in hospitals across the country, Mohammad Mirzabeigi, the head of the Nurses Organization said some 10,000 of the country's best nurses had left and migrated to other countries. Another official, Mohammad Sharifi Moghaddam, the general director of the House of Nurses told ISNA news agency on November 12, 2023, that some 3,000 nurses migrate to other countries every year. Presently, some patients lose their lives due to shortage of nurses. Nurses and healthcare workers face disastrous working conditions in Tehran and other cities.>>

Reza Rasaei, a Kurdish 'Yarsan'
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 24 Dec 2023
<<The Death Sentence for a Kurdish <Yarsan> adherent has been confirmed by the Supreme Court in Iran
The death sentence for Reza Rasaei, a Kurdish <Yarsan> adherent, has been confirmed in the Supreme Court. This young man, who has spent over a year in detention, had previously been sentenced to death by the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran on charges related to the killing of a government official. According to reports obtained by the Hengaw organization for Human Rights, the recent death sentence for 34-year-old Reza Rasaei, a resident of Kermanshah (Kermanshan), has been officially confirmed by Branch 17 of the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic of Iran. His family has verified the confirmation of the sentence to Hengaw. Reza Rasaei was previously sentenced to death by the second branch of the criminal court of Kermanshah province on charges of the murder of Nader Beyrami, the intelligence chief of the IRGC in the city of Sahaneh. Nader Beyrami was killed on November 18th, 2022 during the crackdown on a rally in Sahaneh organized for the commemoration ceremony of Seyed Khalil Alinzhad.
This allegation are based on the coerced confession of Reza Rasaei and other detainees, after months of torture and case fabrication, has not been legally substantiated to date. Hengaw previously reported that the family members and close relatives of Reza Rasaei have received threatening messages and calls from unknown numbers, mounting their concerns, particularly regarding the fate of Reza Rasaei. It is worth mentioning that in the first four months of Reza Rasaei's detention by security forces, he was deprived of access to the basic rights of a suspect, including legal representation and visitation. Reza Rasaei was arrested on Thursday, November 24th, 2022, in the city of Karaj by government forces.

<<Urmia Prison: Kurdish Political Prisoner Soheila Mohammadi Granted Parole
Soheila Mohammadi, a Kurdish political prisoner, has been conditionally released from Urmia Central Prison after serving over three years of her five-year sentence. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on the afternoon of Saturday, December 23, 2023, Soheila Mohammadi, a Kurdish female political prisoner from Selmas, was granted conditional release from the women's ward of Urmia's central prison after three years of imprisonment. Soheila Mohammadi, who had been denied the right to leave, undertook multiple hunger strikes in the past three years to protest her situation and tragically attempted suicide. In a previous report addressing Soheila Mohammadi's separation from her young child, Hengaw highlighted her worrying mental and physical condition resulting from the pressures of security institutions during the interrogation and detention period. In March 2023, Soheila Mohammadi committed suicide by stabbing herself in the chest due to the pressure exerted by government security agencies and their hindrance in granting her leave and amnesty. Arrested in the fall of 2021 in Selmas by the intelligence forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Soheila Mohammadi underwent several months of interrogation before being transferred to the women's ward of Urmia Central Prison. She was subsequently sentenced to five years in prison by the first branch of the Revolutionary Court of Urmia on charges of being a member of the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK). Since then, she has been held in the women's ward of Urmia Central Prison without the right to use leave until her recent conditional release.>>
