<<Iran protests: Death row reporter Mehdi Beik arrested
An Iranian journalist who interviewed families of protesters who had
been sentenced to death has been arrested, his wife and Iranian media
say. Mehdi Beik was detained on Thursday night, reformist newspaper
Etemad, which Mr Beik works for, said. The reasons for his arrest are
not known, but it comes amid an ongoing crackdown on anti-govern-ment
protests. Iran has been rocked by months of protests since the death of
an Iranian Kurdish woman in police custody. Protests erupted in
September following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was
detained by morality police for allegedly wearing her hijab, or
headscarf, <improperly>. They quickly spread across the country,
becoming the most serious challenge to the Islamic Republic since its
inception in 1979. In a tweet on Friday, Mr Beik's wife, Zahra, said he
had been <detained by agents of the Ministry of Information and his cell
phone, laptop and belongings were seized>. Colleagues and journalists
expressed shock and anger at his arrest, posting expressions of support
on social media. Iran- based journalist Elham Nadaf tweeted: <They have
killed journalism in this country and now they are mutilating its
corpse!> >>

<<Political prisoner Maryam Akbari Monfared, one of Iran's bravest
women.
....
In her letter, she wrote about that night:
<Without giving me a chance to say goodbye to my loved ones, they took
me to Evin prison to give some explanations and made the ridiculous
promise that 'you will return to your children in the morning.'
As of December 29, 2022, thirteen years have passed since I was separated
from my 4-year-old Sarah and my two 12-year-old daughters on that winter
midnight.>. Since her arrest, Maryam has been under constant torture and
pressure, including the denial of urgent medical treatment. <This is not
a story you are reading; it's the true story of the suffering of only
one out of 85 million,> Maryam wrote in her letter. <On this side of the
bars, in the dark desert of torture and oppression, as far as one can
see - even where one cannot see - there is just vileness and brutality.>
Maryam Akbari Monfared is one of Iran's most resistant political
prisoners.>>

<<Retired woman Soheila Ojaghi accused of leading Iran protests. Retired
paramedic Soheila Ojaghi has been sentenced to 6 years in prison in the
primary court and is currently incarcerated in Qarchak prison. Due to
her age, she is accused of being the leader of the Iran protests.
Soheila Ojaghi was born in 1967 in Gonbad Kavos and immigrated to Tehran
with her family many years ago. She was arrested on November 15, 2022,
in Tehran's Parand Square. She was held in temporary detention for only
one day, then transferred to Qarchak prison along with more than 400
other detainees. The security services arrested Soheila Ojaghi as a
<protest leader> and accused her of having a leadership role in protest
rallies, even in prison. Soheila Ojaghi used to participate in protests
in the Parand district. She was alone, and no one went with her. On
November 15, she and other protesters were attacked and arrested by
repressive forces in Parand Independence Square. Security forces were
sensitive to her because her age differed from other protesters. During
the interrogations, she was told that all the protesters were young, but
she, a retired paramedic, was in the center of the protesters. The
interrogators accused her of being the leader of that group, and they
chased her with a drone. Soheila Ojaghi had not been in contact with
anyone and only protested the country's economic situation and the
inability of retirees like herself to make a living. Although Ms. Ojaghi
emphasized that she had no connection with other participants in the
rally, she is still under the charge of being a leader and has been kept
in quarantine. She is neither in solitary confinement nor can she hope
for freedom like other prisoners.>>

<<NCRI Women's Committee calls to support women imprisoned in Iran. Call
for urgent action to save the lives of hungerstriking 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.
