<<Iran releases top actress Alidoosti who was jailed for backing protests
News Wires - Iran has released top Iranian actress Taraneh Alidoosti on bail, state media reported on Wednesday, weeks after she was detained for criticizing a crackdown on anti-government protests that have rocked the Islamic Republic for months. Best-known for her role in <The Salesman>, which won an Academy Award in 2017, the pro-reform artist Alidoosti had supported the protests, including by pos-ting her picture on Instagram in November without the compulsory hijab head covering, and holding up a sign which read <Woman, Life, Freedom> in Kurdish, a popular slogan in the mass protests. The semi-official ILNA news agency, citing her lawyer, said <Alidoosti, who was arrested on December 17, was released today on bail>, without giving further details. Her picture, taken in front of Tehran's notorious Evin prison, was widely shared on social media. >>

<<News Wires - Iran warned France on Wednesday it would respond after <insulting> cartoons depicting Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were published in the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
The weekly had published dozens of cartoons on the same day ridiculing the highest religious and political figure in the Islamic republic. The magazine said the cartoons were part of a competition it launched in December in support of the protests triggered by the September 16 death in custody of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian Kurd who was arrested for allegedly violating the country's strict dress code for women. <The insulting and indecent act of a French publication in publishing cartoons against the religious and political authority will not go without an effective and decisive response,> tweeted Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian. <We will not allow the French government to go beyond its bounds. They have definitely chosen the wrong path>. The French magazine said the contest aimed <to support the struggle of Iranians who are fighting for their freedom>. >>

<<NCRI Women's Committee calls to support women imprisoned in Iran. Call for urgent action to save the lives of hunger-striking women in a Karaj Priso. A number of brave women and girls arrested during the Iranian people's nationwide uprising have started hunger strikes to protest their prolonged detention, harassment, horrible prison conditions, bogus charges leveled against them, and lack of attendance to their cases. Elham Modarresi, Armita Abbasi, and other women detained in a Karaj Prison were tortured and sexually assaulted by security forces before being transferred to the prison.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS) and the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have put pressure on many families of detained protesters to keep quiet about their children's condition. They falsely promised the families to expedite their children’s release if they remained silent. The Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran urges all women and youths to actively support the protesters detained during the uprising, especially women and girls. The NCRI Women's Committee draws the attention of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Iran, and especially the UN Fact-finding Mission to condemn the clerical regi-me's treatment of female prisoners decisively. The NCRI Women's Committee calls for urgent action to save the lives of women on hunger strike in prison in Karaj.

<<Two Iranian teens face death penalty over protests: rights group
Paris (AFP) - Two Iranian teenagers face the death penalty after being sentenced to be hanged over involvement in protests that have rocked the Islamic republic for months, a rights group said Monday. Two men aged 23 have already been executed over the protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini but campaigners fear dozens more risk being hanged as Iran uses capital punishment as an intimidation tactic in a bid to quell the protests.
Mehdi Mohammadifard, an 18-year-old protester, was sentenced to death on charges of setting alight a traffic police kiosk in the wes-tern town of Nowshahr in Mazandaran province, the Oslo-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) group said. The death sentence was issued by a Revolutionary Court in the provincial capital of Sari after convicting him of the capital charges of <corruption on earth> and <enmity against God>, it added. The double conviction means that he has been given two death sentences. IHR director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam told AFP that based on available information, Mohammadifard appeared to be the youngest person yet sentenced to death over the protests. Meanwhile, the judiciary's Mizan Online news website said that the death sentence of another protester, Mohammad Boroghani, had been upheld in December by the supreme court on charges of <enmity against God>. Boroghani is accused of <wounding a security personnel with a knife with the intent of killing him and sowing terror among citizens> as well as <setting ablaze the governor's office in Pakdasht>, a city located 43 kilometres (27 miles) southeast of the capital Tehran. According to IHR, he is aged 19. Mizan Online's report came after some reports indicated the exe-cution had been annulled. <The Islamic republic, which has not been able to control the protests after 109 days, needs intimidation and execution to continue its survival,> said Amiry-Moghaddam.>

<<Exiled Iran opposition figures predict 2023 'victory for nation' after protests
A group of prominent exiled Iranian pro-opposition figures have issued a coordinated message predicting 2023 will be a year of <victory> with the regime shaken by protests. Those sending the message include leaders from the fields of culture, human rights and sports. The Iranian diaspora has long been seen as lacking unity, split into different political factions and strategies for dealing with the Islamic republic, that ousted the shah in 1979. But with protests still continuing in Iran over 100 days after they were sparked by the death of young Iranian Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, the message appears an attempt to find a long-sought unity. <The year 2022 was a glorious year of solidarity for Iranians of every belief, language and orientation,> it said. <With organisation and solidarity, 2023 will be the year of victory for the Iranian nation. The year of freedom and justice in Iran.> The message was sent simultaneously on social media by a variety of figures, ranging from the influential US-based dissident Masih Alinejad to the son of the ousted shah, Reza Pahlavi, who also lives in the United States. The year 2022 was a glorious year of solidarity for Iranians of every belief, language and orientation. With organization and solidarity, 2023 will be the year of victory for the Iranian nation. The year of freedom and justice in Iran.
