Note by Gino d'Artali: The Zan, zendagi, azadi!> (Women, life, freedom) has just started and will only then end when khamenei and his puppets i.e. the morality police, the irgc and the basijis (the last 2 now about to be labeled as terrorists organisation) give way or go away!!
So here is where the protests continue and I'll continue to inform you about it. That's my pledge.

<<Two women executed in Birjand - Mullahs' killing machine in Iran does not stop
The National Council of Resistance of Iran today announced that eight prisoners, including two women, have been executed in Iran in the last two days. The statement added that since February 20, at least 18 prisoners, including two political prisoners, have been exe-cuted in Iran in just one week. Referring to the two executions that took place in Zahedan prison this morning, Monday, February 27, 2023, the National Council of Resistance of Iran said: The execution and killing machine of the religious fascism ruling Iran does not stop even during the speech of its Foreign Minister at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. On Sunday, February 26, five prisoners, including two women whose identities and crimes are unknown, were hanged in Birjand prison in south Khorasan. The execution of these two women brings the number of women executed in Iran since 2007 to a staggering 207. Despite ongoing international condemnation of Iran's human rights abuses, the regime remains relentless in its pursuit of power and oppression. In fact, the Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, delivered a speech at the Human Rights Council in Geneva while these executions were taking place, highlighting the regime's utter disregard for human rights. It is unacceptable that the Iranian regime continues to execute women and violate human rights with impunity. The international community must take decisive action to hold the regime accountable for its atrocities and end this brutal regime's reign of terror.>>

<<Tehran University students rally against closure of classes
Hundreds of Tehran University students protest a decision to hold online classes and close the university for three weeks at Fatemi (women's) and Chamran (men's) dormitories in Tehran University.
Students are holding night rallies protesting the university officials' decision to close face-to-face classes and hold them online after the Nowruz holidays, from April 3-24, 2023. The clerical regime appears to have made the decision to call off university classes, fearing the consequences of the free fall in the value of the country's currency, inflation, and high prices on the eve of the Iranian New Year, as well as the arrival of the Feast of Fire traditions celebrations. Students are holding rallies outside their dormitories. They chant, <Students are aware of their rights,> <Students cry out and demand your rights,> <Face-to-face education is our unalienable right,> etc.>>

<<Iranian Teachers Union Calls For Protests On Tuesday
As the strikes and protest gatherings of various guilds as well as retirees continue in Iran, teachers' main union has issued a state-ment calling on retirees and others to hold gatherings on Tuesday.
Referring to the ever-increasing inflation and the inability of officials to control prices and the decrease in people's purchasing power, the Coordination Council of Iranian Teachers' Trade Associations called on all <retired and working colleagues> to participate in the gathering. Telecommunications retirees on Monday gathered in Esfahan, Sanandaj, Arak, Bandar Abbas, Kermanshah, and Khorramabad to protest the government's inattention to their demands as inflation soars and their pensions remain unchanged. Iran witnessed another wave of daily protests and strikes Sunday, as its currency sank leaving ordinary people to wonder how they can afford minimum necessities. Bakers held a gathering in Tehran, while workers of Haft-Tappeh Sugarcane complex in the southwestern Khuzestan province, the Esfahan Steel Company in central Iran, and workers in several southern cities, where most of oil and gas companies are located, were on strike. The steel company's strike, which started Saturday, continued Sunday while security forces used water cannons to disperse the protesting workers. On Monday there were reports workers being arrested. The company, called Zob Ahan in Persian, is directly controlled by the country's Ministry of Industries and Mines, and is Iran's third largest steel producer and is the largest factory producing steel for construction.>>

<<Trading In Tehran Bazaars Comes To A Halt Amid Currency's Fall
Trading in Tehran markets has largely come to a halt as the currency rial is near its all-time low, Iran International has learned from merchants and traders. A textile trader told Iran International that <For now we have stopped selling our goods because we have no guarantee we can refill our stocks.> He added that <a lot of merchants have lost money because their payables are in dollars while they have to sell their goods in rials.> Local media reported that the Central Bank of Iran intervened in the currency market by injecting $700 million in UAE dirhams on Sunday and the rial margi-nally rose from its all-time low of 600,000 against the US dollar. But such a sizeable intervention has not produced the desired result of stabilizing the rial. First, the currency rose to 560,000 but after a few hours it dropped again, trading at more than 580,000 to the USD on Monday evening. Parliament continued a third day of meetings about the currency crisis but there is little the legislature can do, except asking questions from President Ebrahim Raisi's government. On Saturday, the president's top economic aide, Mohammad Mokhber told lawmakers, <This is what it is,> rudely dismissing their criti-cism. The fact that the reported monetary intervention was conducted using UAE dirhams instead of US dollars might indicate a short-age of greenbacks in the central bank. The same grim news about a halt in trading came from the goldsmiths market in Tehran, where the fast-fluctuating currency rates have forced retailers to hold on to their gold and jewelry. A currency dealer told Iran International that curbside trading has become highly risky as plainclothes security agents are everywhere in areas where usually people buy and sell foreign currencies. Trading has also decreased in the food whole-salers' market where one trader said goods such as sugar, oil and rice that can be stored have been shipped to warehouses, not to be sold until there is clarity with the value of the rial. Pundits urged the government to tell the people what plans it has to tackle the crisis, but officials seemed bewildered and confused. The speaker of parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (Qalibaf) was quick on Monday to claim that his fiefdom had predicted the currency crisis more than a month before and had warned the government. Others simply urged the government to <do something.> Tehran's Friday Prayer Imam, Kazem Sedighi, told the people to pray to fix the country's problems. <We are in an economic war,> he said, just as the pioneers in Islam had to fight the unbelievers, this is also a holy war.> >>

<<Government Tries To Bar Businessmen From Iran Chambers Of Commerce
Over 40 percent of candidates running for chambers of commerce in Iran who are somewhat independent of the government were dis-qualified by a supervisory body. Disqualifications have been so widespread that the actual elections of chambers of commerce, industries, mines and agriculture often referred to as <private sector's parliament>, had to be postponed from February 29 to March 10 to allow investigation of candidates’ complaints. Mehdi Karbasian, a former deputy minister of industries, mines and trade, who repre-sents several high-profile companies, and Masoud Khansari, the incumbent chairman of Tehran Chamber of Commerce, the most influential chamber in the country, are among the candidates who have been disqualified. Khansari had recently disclosed more than $10 billion of capital outflow from Iran per year. In a commentary entitled <Butchering Chamber of Commerce Election [Candidates] Following Increase of Businessmen's Criticism of Raisi Government>, Aftab News website on Saturday said disqualified candidates believe due to profuse criticisms of the government policies by businessmen and chambers, the ministry of industries, mines and trade has decided to take control and only allow its own supporters to take the key positions. Iran's economic crisis has deepened in recent months as the national currency has lost more than half of its value and hyper-inflation is feared in the next few months. Prominent businessmen holding positions in chambers of commerce have urged the govern-ment to change its foreign policy and end US economic sanctions.>>

<<Iran Orders Female Staff Of Pharmacies To Wear Black Veils
Iran's Food and Drug Administration has ordered pharmacies across the country to force their female staff to wear black veils at work-place. In a new directive, Iran's FDA, which operates under the supervision of the ministry of health, also ordered pharmacies to put the obligatory hijab <instructions> in the view of their clients as well. According to the directive, pharmacy managers are responsible for monitoring the way female employees are covered. Before an owner opens a pharmacy, s/he is required to give a written com-mitment in this regard. In the past weeks, at least two pharmacies in Tehran and Amol in the north have been sealed off due to the <improper> hijab of their female employees. In another develop-ment, Shiraz University has summoned those students whose hijab was deemed insufficient to participate in <mandatory hijab coun-seling> sessions. According to the Telegram channel of the country's Student Union Council, the students whose <improper hijab or remo-val of hijab> has been reported to a special committee are asked to participate in the counselling sessions. In the past days, several reports have been published about pressure and threats against students over their hijab. In a recent move, Tehran University threatened that students who do not comply with hijab regulations will be subject to <disciplinary action>.>>

<<Iran Deputy Minister Says Poisoning Of Schoolgirls 'Intentional'
Iran's deputy education minister says the serial poisoning of female students in the religious city of Qom and other cities have been <intentional>. Younes Panahi said on Sunday that <It was found that some people wanted all schools, especially girls' schools, to be closed. It has been revealed that the chemical compounds used to poison students are not war chemicals, and the poisoned students do not need aggressive treatment, and a large percentage of the chemical agents used are treatable,> he told a press conference.
Homayoun Sameh Najafabadi, a member of the health committee of the parliament, also confirmed in an interview with Didbaniran web-site that the poisoning of female students in schools of Qom and Borujerd is intentional. These statements are made in a situation that earlier Youssef Nouri, the Minister of Education called the reports about the poisoning of schoolgirls <rumors>, claiming that the students taken to the hospital had <underlying diseases>.
However, on Sunday, Majid Monemi, the deputy governor of Lorestan, said 50 female students of a high school in Borujerd, western Iran, were poisoned again. The serial poisoning of students in Iran started in December in the religious city of Qom and spread to several other cities. The government has not determined the cause of the poisonings, but some local media say it could be the work of religious zealots who want to prevent girls from attending school. Teenage schoolgirls joined the antigovernment protests last year and many removed their hijab in protest.>>
