<<Text by News Wires - Thousands march to EU parliament in Strasbourg in
support of Iran protesters
Up to 12,000 people marched Monday to the EU Parliament in the eastern
French city of Strasbourg in support of Iran's anti-government
protesters while the Eiffel Tower lit the night with the slogan <Woman.
Life. Freedom,> which embodies the protest movement spilling beyond
Iran. The Eiffel Tower display also beamed the message, <Stop executions
in Iran,> highlighting a demand of protesters. Both messages pay tribute
to Mahsa Amini, whose death in September triggered demonstrations in
Iran, along with arrests and executions. Paris post-humously declared
Amani an honorary citizen in October, and Paris City Hall has said that
the Eiffel Tower displays Monday were a homage to Amini and to <those
who are bravely fighting for their freedom as the (Iranian) regime is
continuing executions of protesters.
....
The European parliament's plenary session is to debate the EU's response
this week to the protests and executions in the Islamic Republic. A
non-binding resolution is to be voted on Thursday, which protesters and
others see as a chance to put the Revolutionary Guard |basij/Note from cryfreedom's journalist| on the EU's terrorist list.> >>

<<Senior Iranian ex-diplomats expressing open criticism of regime
Senior former Iranian diplomats are expressing open criticism of their
government, warning that by failing to revive the nuclear deal and
supplying drones to Russia in Ukraine, the country risks becoming
isolated, its economy weakened and the protest movement emboldened.
....
He warned |Seyyid Mohammad Sadr, the former head of the foreign affairs
ministry's Europe division and still a serving member of the Expediency
Council, the main advisory body to the supreme leader.|: <According to
official statistics, at least 30% of the people are below the poverty
line, meat and fruit are being removed from the food basket of many
people, the unemployment rate and inflation are increasing every day.
Unfortunately, some people do not know the conditions in which people
live and have closed their eyes to the realities of society.> He
predicted the country would become increa-singly isolated partly due to
the executions of protesters, adding its diplomats may be expelled from
some EU countries.> >>

<<Iran: Political prisoners start hunger strike in Yasuj Central Prison
News Center- On January 14, seven political prisoners held in Iran's
Yasuj Central Prison launched a hunger strike to protest their unjust
prison sentences after their sentences were confirmed by the Supreme
Court. The names of the political prisoners, who have been on the hunger
strike since January 14 are: Yasir Fereydouni, Kianoush Mahdoever,
Alireza Forouhar, Benjamin Evra, Mahmoud Turnak, Saeed Farhadi and Saeed
Seyadat. After being arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
forces, they were subjected to torture in custody. The demand of the
political prisoners is a fair trial.>>

<<Iran protests, 4 months on: Will the crackdown be able to crush the
movement?
Iran's regime is turning increasingly violent in an attempt to quell the
women-led protests that were sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini on 16th
September. More than 500 people have died, including scores of children,
in the last four months. Will the terror tactics be able to crush the
protests or will it only fuel more anger? <The status of the protest
movement is the subject of very different narratives,> explains FRANCE

<<The life of Mohana Kameli, a detained protester, in danger
Mohana Kameli, one of the detainees of the recent protests in Iran, is
in danger. Mohana Kameli, 24, needed urgent treatment due to the
infection from her severe injuries during the three months of protests.
Still, the authorities of Qarchak prison refused to transfer her to the
hospital. Finally, on January 13, under the pressure of public opinion,
she was transferred to Taleghani Hospital in Velenjak. On December 12,
2022, security forces posing as Electricity Department agents went to
Mohana Kameli's house in Narmak dis-trict, Tehran, and arrested her. She
was shot during the protests about three months ago, and her leg wound
infected. Three weeks before her arrest, her arm broke during
demonstrations in Tehran when security forces ran over her on a
motorcycle. Mohana Kameli has been severely tortured and charged with
Moharebeh (waging war on God) because of her posts and stories on
Instagram, calling on people to participate in protests. Nevertheless,
due to the pressure of public opinion, the authorities of Qarchak prison
were finally forced to send Mohana Kameli to Taleghani Hospital in
Velenjak on Friday, January 13, 2022. She underwent skin graft surgery
which lasted four hours on Saturday, January 14, but her body rejected
the skin tissues. And again, on Sunday, January 15, she underwent a
6-hour surgery. In this situation, they tie her to the bed with
handcuffs. Mohana's friends who went to see her at Taleghani hospital
could not visit her. Mohana Kameli lost her father three years ago, and
her mother suffered a stroke and died three days after Mohana was
arrested. Mohana sent a message in which she said, <For God's sake, stop
fearing.> >>

<<Faces of death row: the young men caught up in Iran's execution spree
Since anti-regime demonstrations erupted following the September 16
death in custody of Mahsa Amini, Iranian authorities have execu-ted four
young men and sentenced several others to death on char-ges relating to
the protest movement. FRANCE 24 profiles some of the people executed or
on death row in Iran's latest state-sponsored killing spree. The Islamic
Republic of Iran has long been one of the world's top executioners, but
in recent months, the number of death sentences handed and carried out
have triggered warnings that the state is <weaponising> the death
penalty to crush dissent. In a press release published January 10, 2023,
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk noted that criminal
proceedings and the death penalty were 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>. Between December 8, 2022 and January 7,
2023, four young people were executed on capital charges in connection
with their participation in the protest movement sparked by the
September 16 death of Mahsa Amini in custody.>>

<<Call for protests in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province.
News Center - The Iranian regime continues to use all kinds of brutal
methods to crack down on the nationwide protests that started in Iran
and Rojhilat Kurdistan following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini by
Iran's so-called <Morality police> in September 2022. The bloodiest
massacre committed by Iranian soldiers and police was the massacre in
Zahedan, city of Sistan and Baluchestan Province, on September 30, 2022.
Since then, the people of Zahedan have been taking to the streets every
Friday to protest the massacre, known as <Bloody Friday>.
Yesterday, a group of young people in the city called on the citizens of
the city to protest the massacre today. <We will keep taking to the
streets to protest the crimes of the Iranian government despite all the
attacks of the dictatorship regime. We call on everyone to take to the
streets tomorrow after Friday prayers,> the group said in the statement.
She lost one of her eyes
While dozens of people were killed and injured in the massacre, many
people were arrested. Ghazal Ranjkesh, a law student, lost one of her
eyes after the Iranian security forces shot her in the face at close
range in Bandar Abbas on November 23, 2022. After her treatment at a
hospital, she wrote on her social media account, <The last image my
right eye recorded was the smile of the man shooting at me.>
Her health condition is deteriorating>>

Note by Gino d'Artali: Note from Gino d'Artali: The Baloch people have
suffered discrimination, repression and marginalisation for many years
under successive Iranian regimes. Sistan-and-Balochistan is the second
largest but least developed and most deprived province of Iran. In the
east, the province borders the con-tiguous Baloch regions of Afghanistan
and Pakistan. During the late 19th century (1871-96), this part of
Balochistan was split from the Baloch Khanate of Kalat by the British,
who divided the country into British and Persian <spheres of influence>.
However, Persia failed to establish its control over the area, and it
continued to be ruled by local Baloch chiefdoms until its annexation by
Persia in 1928 after a brutal military campaign. Since then, this region
has remained in conflict with the Persian-Shia dominated centre.
Bloody Friday
A month after the assasination of Jina Mahsa Amani protests also
continue in Iran's restive region of Balochistan, home to the Baloch-Sunni
ethno-religious minority. Six more people, including three children,
were reported to have been killed on Friday as Iranian security forces
opened fire on the demonstrators in Zahedan, the capital of the
south-eastern Sistan-and-Balochistan province. Earlier, security forces
had killed at least 82 people in the city; 66 of them lost their lives
in a single incident on 30 September, now known widely as <Bloody
Friday>.
