<<Iran: Brute Force Used in Crackdown on Dissent.
Release Peaceful Protesters; End Sham Trials; Investigate Deaths,
Torture
Iranians protests the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after she was
detained by the morality police, in Tehran, October 1, 2022. (Beirut) -
Iranian authorities used excessive and lethal force in their clampdown
on nationwide protests that broke out in September 2022, Human Rights
Watch said today in its World Report 2023. The government imprisoned
hundreds of activists on dubious char-ges, and issued death sentences in
grossly unfair trials. The death on September 16 of Mahsa (Jina) Amini,
a 22-year-old Kurdish woman from Sanandaj in western Iran, in the
custody of the morality police after being arres-ted for an <improper>
hijab, sparked demonstrations across the country, including in schools
and universities. Human Rights Watch documented security forces using
shotguns, assault rifles, and handguns against protesters, in largely
peaceful and often crowded settings. As of November 14, human rights
groups were investigating the reported deaths of at least 341
protestors, including 52 children.
<With mass repression, unfree elections, and apparent corruption and
mismanagement, Iran's autocracy rules with all that remains: brute
force,> said Tara Sepehri Far, senior Iran researcher at Human Rights
Watch. <Other countries, including from the Global South, should
increase pressure on these brutal authorities and ensure there is
accountability for their crimes.> >>

<<Javanrud besieged by Iranian forcesJavanrud besieged by Iranian
forces.
News Center - The protests that sparked in Iran and Rojhilat Kurdistan
following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini continue in its fourth month.
The Javanrud city of Rojhilat Kurdistan is one of the cities that face
op-pression from the Iranian regime. Many members of the Islamic
Revo-lutionary Guard Corps were sent to the city on the fourth day of
the killing of protesters by security forces. The members of the IRGC
pre-vented the people from entering the cemetery. When people resisted,
the members of the IRGC opened fire on them; one protester was kil-led
and many injured. In an interview with NuJINHA, one of the citizens of
the city named F.M. said, <We were on our way to Kermanshah in order to
go to hospital; however, we were stopped at one of the checkpoints.
Security forces searched our car and checked my spouse's mobile phone.
They checked his social media accounts. We were asked why we were going
to Kermanshah. There are military forces and police officers in plain
clothes everywhere in the city and around the city.>
'They were transferred to unknown locations'
B.M., a lawyer in the city of Javanrud, talked about the psychological
pressure in the city by saying, <Many protesters have been arrested and
transferred to unknown locations. Their families do not get any
information from them and they cannot report their arrest to the press
because they are threatened by the IRGC. Most of the arrested people
were forced to accept the accusations against them. In the fourth month
of the protests, the city is under siege. The entry and exit of goods
are not allowed. People suffer from high prices and food shortages. But
the worst thing is that people are arrested every day; women and men are
arrested and transferred to unknown locations.> >>

<<New executions in Iran: UN says regime weaponising death penalty to
frighten public.
The UN human rights chief has accused Iran of weaponising the death
penalty to frighten the public and crush dissent. The sta-tement follows
the execution of four protesters, two of whom were killed last weekend.
The UN body says it has information that two more executions are
imminent, with more than a dozen other people believed to be on death
row. The Iranian regime is grappling to respond to months of unrest
triggered by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini following her arrest
by the morality police. For more, we speak to Shaparak Saleh, a
Franco-Iranian lawyer and the co-founder of the campaigning organisation
Femme Azadi, which was set up in the aftermath of Amini's death.>>

<<Iran is using executions to crush dissent and quell protests, says UN.
Text by News Wires - Iran is weaponising the death penalty, attempting
to crush dissent by frightening the public with the execution of
protesters, the United Nations said Tuesday. The Islamic republic has
been rocked by a wave of protests since the death in custody on
September 16 of Mahsa Amini, following the 22-year-old's arrest for
allegedly violating Iran's strict dress code for women. Tehran has
executed four people in connection with the demonstrations, following
expedited trials that did not meet the minimum guarantees of fair trial,
the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) said. <Criminal proceedings and the
death penalty are being weaponised by the Iranian government to punish
individuals participating in protests and to strike fear into the
population so as to stamp out dissent, in violation of international
human rights law,> OHCHR said. Two further executions are scheduled
imminently and at least 17 other individuals have reportedly been
sentenced to death, said the office of Volker Turk, the UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights.
<The weaponisation of criminal procedures to punish people for
exercising their basic rights -- such as those participating in or
organising demonstrations -- amounts to state-sanctioned killing,> Turk
said in a statement.>>
