So here is where the protests continue and I'll continue to inform you

<<Iranian school manager: The new generation will replace the
dictator's shadow with the light of freedom
Mahabad- Students and teachers have been playing a leading role
in the protests that started in Iran following the killing of Jina Mahsa
Amini in September 2022. Many teachers and school administrators have
been fired, detained and arrested in the country for supporting
students. Fahima Sharifi, a school manager in Tehran, is one of the
school administrators supporting students. She answered the questions of
NuJINHA.
How did the 'Jina Uprising' affect students?
Today, the generation in schools and universities is completely a
dif-ferent generation and the knowledgeable generation, understanding
everything very well. After the killing of Jina, students participated
in the uprising to demand freedom. The killing of Jina lit the fire in
the country. And this fire grows day by day.
Students removed their hijabs
What actions did teachers and students take during the protests?
....
'The women's freedom movement will make an impact'
How does the Jina uprising affect the women’s freedom movement?
Now, we see how the new generation is courageous. Nothing can
stop them now. Despite torture, arrest and pressure, the protests
continue. I do not see any girls wearing hijabs at school anymore. The
new generation does not target the dictator but openly demands freedom.
This generation, together with the generations before and after them,
will surely replace the dictator’s shadow with the light of freedom. One
day the women's freedom movement will affect all societies.>>....

<<Exclusive: IRGC Commanders Warn of <Spies> and <Infiltrators>
Iranian authorities are increasingly resorting to accusations of
espionage when setting out to silence dissent, justify the
ineffi-ciencies of the Islamic Republic and secure additional funding
for military and paramilitary institutions. Intelligence and security
agencies routinely accuse those who attempt to uphold the rule of law,
fight for their livelihood, protest to demand more freedoms and women's
rights of being <spies> or <infiltrators.> The Islamic Republic boasts
of having the strongest intelligence agencies in the world, but secret
information regarding the country’s nuclear program and other sensitive
activities has been stolen and exposed by the Israeli government. Top
members of the security apparatus and nuclear scientists have also been
assassinated inside Iran in recent years.
Everyone is a Spy
During a meeting with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on January 3,
commanders within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned
that spying activities is affecting all levels of the Islamic Republic.
Alijuma Malik Shahkoei, the commander of the Golestan army, told the
gathering that the <leakage and spread of informa-tion> was the primary
issue plaguing the security and intelligence agencies. He said that the
amount of information being dissemi-nated via internal networks and the
media has reached a crisis level.
Shahkoei reported that 40 <important personnel> under his command
have been accused of <leaking information.> >>

<<World Press Photo Award for ME Images/IranWire Collaboration
A photo-based video project that narrates a chaotic night in the
life of an Iranian nurse as she saves the life of a young protester is
among the 24 winning images in the regional categories from this year's
World Press Photo Contest. The jury said it selected the colla-borative
project between Iranian photographer Hossein Fatemi's Middle East Images
Agency and IranWire because it offered <a rare glimpse into the dangers
faced by protestors on the streets of Iran today.> Fatemi encountered
the nurse in the footage titled <Woman, Life, Freedom.> Images in the
video were captured by local photojournalists, the nurse herself and a
photographer on assignment to cover her story. According to the jury,
<the successful combination of photography, narrative audio, and video
provides thorough information from the perspective of a nurse.> <The
project managed to connect with the jury…by recording the personal
thoughts and emotions of the nurse while also communicating the bigger
picture of the fight for women's freedoms in Iran,” it added.>>

<<Mahsa Amini - A brief review of the manner of arrest and the
clerical regime's cover-up of Mahsa Amini's murder. Mahsa Amini (Zhina)
was a young woman from Saqqez who had just been admitted to the
university. She was in Tehran with her family to visit her relatives. On
Sep-tember 13, 2022, she was arrested near the Haqqani metro station in
Tehran for improper veiling. She was then transferred to the Morality
Police headquarters. Some two hours later, Mahsa fell into a coma after
being severely beaten by police. She died on September 16. Mahsa Amini's
murder provoked the anger of Iranians and spar-ked a flaming uprising
that lasted several months across more than 200 Iranian cities.

<<Divorced women in Iran-face many challenges due to patriarchal
laws
News Center- Divorced women in Iran face many challenges due to
the country’s patriarchal laws, customs and traditions. Most of them are
victims of child marriages. In the country, the rate of divorce has
increased. In the first six months of 2022, 225,000 marriages and 94,288
divorce cases were registered in Iran, according to official statistics.
In the first six months of 2021, 296,401 marriages and 94,280 divorce
cases were registered. The legal age for marriage in Iran is 13 for
girls and 15 for boys. So most of girls and boys become the victims of
child marriage. Many women victims of child marriage, who are subjected
to violence by their husbands, stay silent in fear of the consequences
of divorce. NuJINHA spoke to several women, victims of child marriage,
in Iran. We do not use the real names of women we interviewed.
'I remained silent not to lose my child'
....
'My father did not support me'
....
'The court allowed my husband to remarry before our divorce'
....
The story of 24-year---old Shadi Karmian is not different from
the stories of other women. <I was forced into marriage when I was 17.
In the first years of our marriage, my husband was good to me. I gave
him my salary to cover all expenses. Then, everything changed. He began
to inflict violence against me. I asked for a divorce. My family does
not support me now.> >>

<<Rights of Bahai citizens and women systematically violated in
Iran
Bahai women arrested and sentenced to prison time in Karaj and
Isfahan. Unofficial sources in Iran say more than 300,000 Bahai citizens
live in Iran. However, the clerical regime's Constitution does not
recognize the Bahai faith as a religion. Bahai citizens are deprived of
their right to exercise their religious freedoms. Their rights are
systematically violated. Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights and Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights reiterate that everyone is entitled to freedom of
religion or change of religion or faith. They also have the right to
talk about their faith individually or in groups, openly or secretly.
Nahaleh Shahidi Yazdi arrested and taken to an undisclosed location
Nahaleh Shahidi is a children's rights activist and one of the
Bahai citizens living in Karaj. Security forces arrested her in the
train station of Kerman as she was heading back home on Monday, March
28, 2023. She was transferred to an undisclosed location. No
infor-mation is available on her place of detention and the charges
against Nahaleh Shahidi Yazdi. Nahaleh Shahidi Yazdi had been arrested
once before in March 2020 for teaching earthquake-stricken children in
Bam, Kerman. The Revolutionary Court of Kerman sentenced her to two
years and one year of a suspended sentence.>>

<<Hundreds Of Ethnic Baluch Killed In Iran Over Past Year, Group
Says
ROGHAYEH REZAEI
A group that monitors rights violations in Sistan and Baluchistan
has documented 627 cases of killings of ethnic Baluch in the
southeastern Iranian province over the past year. Haalvsh said in a
recent report that its count of verified cases represents only half of
the actual number of killings that occurred between March 2022 to March
2023. The report said that 545 of the victims were executed by the
Islamic Republic or killed by government or plain-clothed agents. As
many as 121 of them lost their lives during protests in the provin-cial
capital, Zahedan, and Khash on September 30. Sistan and Baluchistan is
home to Iran's Sunni Baluch minority of up to 2 million people. Human
rights groups say ethnic minorities in Iran face widespread
discrimination in the judicial system and their every day lives, with
the authorities curtailing their access to education, employment,
adequate housing and political office.
Executions
In a report published earlier this month, Amnesty International
and Abdorrahman Boroumand Center said that Iranian authorities have
escalated the use of the death penalty as a tool of repression against
ethnic minorities. At least one ethnic Arab, 14 Kurds and 13 Baluch had
been executed since the start of the year, and at least a dozen others
had been sentenced to death, the report said.>>

<<Iranian Protester's Death Sentence Overturned, Replaced By
Imprisonment
An Iranian court has canceled the death sentence handed down to a
man accused of damaging public property during protests in Tehran last
year, his lawyer says. The lawyer, Hamed Ahmadi, said that the Tehran
Revolutionary Court sentenced Sahand Noor Mohammadzadeh to five years
imprisonment for gathering and collusion, one year for disturbing public
order and 10 years of exile in Kerman province.
Ahmadi said that he expects his client to spend his years in
internal exile in prison since he won't be allowed to have any contact
with anyone in Kerman. Mohammadzadeh was arrested on October 4, 2022,
and sentenced to death two months later on charges of <waging war
against God> for allegedly attempting to break the guardrail of a
highway and setting fire to a rubbish bin. The sentence was based on a
video in which the defendant could not be seen trying to break a
guardrail or setting a fire. In an audio file sent to IranWire in
December, Mohammadzadeh rejected the accusations against him. He also
said that, due to pressure exerted on him by his interrogator and the
judge, he was forced to admit guilt and sign papers without even reading
them.>>

<<Iranian Kurdish Parties and the >Mahsa Charter>
The recent publication by six exiled Iranian opposition figures
of a joint <Charter of Solidarity and Alliance for Freedom> has led to a
major negative reaction from the main Kurdish parties opposed to the
Islamic Republic. The document, dubbed the <Mahsa Charter,> sets out
proposals for the establishment of a <free and democratic Iran> after
the Islamic Republic falls. It was signed by prominent figures opposed
to the theocracy, but all Kurdish parties, except the Komala Party of
Iranian Kurdistan, rejected it. IranWire asked leaders and
representatives of Komala and three other Kurdish parties, Komala -
Kurdistan Organization of the Communist Party of Iran, the Democratic
Party of Iranian Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), the
reasons why they back or oppose the charter. Their comments do not
reflect the views of IranWire. The four-page <Mahsa Charter,> published
on March 29, lists democratic governance, human rights and human
dignity, justice, peace and security, environmental sustainability and
economic transparency as shared values. It was put together by the
Alliance for Democracy and Freedom in Iran of former crown prince of
Iran Reza Pahlavi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, the
ex-president of the Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims
Hamed Esmaeilion, actress and rights activist Nazanin Boniadi, activist
and journalist Masih Alinejad and the leader of the Komala Party of
Iranian Kurdistan Abdullah Mohtadi.

Ilkhanizadeh: <The Charter Recognizes the Plurality and Diversity
of Ethnic Groups>
Omar Ilkhanizadeh, deputy leader of the Komala Party of Iranian
Kurdistan, told IranWire that the party seeks to <get maximum support
for the 'Mahsa Charter' among other Kurds and at the national level.>
....
Alizadeh: The Charter's Signatories Enjoy <Weak> Popular Support
According to Ibrahim Alizadeh, the first secretary of Komala -
Kurdistan Organization of the Communist Party of Iran, the publication
of the <Mahsa Charter> has harmed the unity between Iranian opposition
parties and caused <divisions> among the major Kurdish parties.

unless... what the Zan, Zendagi, Azadi movement really needs right now
is unity among all Iranian people because the danger is that when
khamenei's regime falls the military i.e. the basij/irgc will take
military power.
