<<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.>>

<<University student dies after being beaten by Iranian security forces.
News Center - The protests that sparked in Iran and Rojhilat following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran's so-called <morality police> continue. In the country, university students are subjected to arra|e|st, kidnapping, killing, torture and expulsion from univer-sities for participating in the nationwide protests and strikes. The Union Council of Iranian Students announced the death of Ghazal Amiri, a student of Shiraz University. According to the council, Ghazal Amiri was seriously injured after being beaten by Iranian security forces during the October 10 protests; however, she did not go to hospital in fear of being arrested. After her health deteriorated, she was taken to a hospital; however, she passed away at the hospital.
University students kidnapped
According to the local reports, Fatemeh Moradi and Esso Murafi, two students at the Sharif University of Technology, were kidnapped and taken to an unknown location by Iranian security forces yesterday, January 10.

<<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.>>
