<<Nasrin Javadi's Health Neglected in Evin Prison
Nasrin Javadi, a labor activist imprisoned in Evin prison, has been deprived of proper medical care despite her physical condition. Nasrin Javadi (Azam Khezri Javadi), 65, suffers from several diseases, including osteoporosis. Despite Mrs. Javadi's repeated requests to be sent on medical leave, the relevant authorities use various excuses to prevent her from being sent to the hospital. At the same time, she seriously needs to be sent on medical leave to receive specialized treatment and get injected with osteoporosis drugs. Nasrin Javadi has had physical problems many times in prison. Still, the prison’s dispensary or the emergency forces suffice to give her an IV injection to improve her physical condition. Ms. Javadi was summoned to Tehran's Public and Revolutionary Court in 2022 to serve her 5-year sentence. Meanwhile, she suffers from many diseases and takes medicine frequently due to her old age. Her lawyer also submitted a doctor’s certificate to the court stating that she could not bear her imprisonment. Nasrin Javadi finally went to Evin prison on July 2, 2022, to serve her sentence. Nasrin Javadi is a former employee of the Medical Equipment Distribution company, a social security retiree, a member of the founding board of the Labor Council of Social Security Retirees (BASTA), and a member of the Free Union of Iranian Workers. Nasrin Javadi spent 50 days in solitary confinement.>>

<<EU Reporter: <The Iranian people are ready to overthrow the regime>, opposition leader tells MEPs
The EU Reporter reported on May 24, 2023, on a conference at the European Parliament featuring Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, who briefed MEPs on the situation in Iran and the future prospects. Following is the EU Reporters' report by Nick Powell. The President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Maryam Rajavi, has urged MEPs to support a much tougher stance by the EU and its member states against the theocratic regime in Tehran. She said the people of her country had risen against religious fascism and she criticised European inaction in response to the executions of protesters, writes Political Editor Nick Powell. Maryam Rajavi returned to the European Parliament four years after her last visit, a period that has seen a massive growth in popular resistance to the rule of the mullahs in lran. She is now President-elect of the preeminent opposition body, the National Council of Resistance of Iran. Her struggle has lasted a lifetime, since she took part in student protests against the dictatorial rule of the last Shah. Dozens of MEPs from different political groups came to hear Maryam Rajavi. She said 112 prisoners had been executed by the regime since the beginning of May, in an attempt to create an atmosphere of terror to prevent further uprisings. The people had responded with protests against these brutal killings but Europe's response had been disappointing. <Unfortunately, we are witnessing a lack of action from the European Union and its member states,> she said. <Isn't opposing executions one of the well-known principles of the European Union? So why when it comes to Iran, economic interests and political considerations downplay the importance of the human rights situation?> <I am here today to be the voice of the protesters in Iran, especially women, who have risen up against religious dictatorship,” she added, saying that her message was that the Iranian people have risen to overthrow religious fascism. <They reject tyranny in all its forms and will persist in their fight until they achieve freedom and democracy.> Stanislav Polcak from the EPP group said the European Parliament must support the creation of a democratic and secular republic in Iran and described the National Council of Resistance as the only active opposition to the regime. Another EPP MEP, Ivan Stefanec, said that under Maryam Rajavi's leadership, people in Iran are <closer than ever to their freedom.> He urged those who still thought it possible for the EU to have a constructive relationship with the regime to remember the lesson of history that <when facing fascism, appeasement does not work>.
....
Inside Iran, organised resistance is growing. The National Council of Resistance and its core constituent, the People's Mojahedin Organisation (MEK), has tirelessly sought democratic change. Its 10-point programme calls for a republic with separation of religion and state, full individual and social freedoms, gender equality, autonomy for ethnic nationalities, elimination of the death penalty, an independent judiciary, a free market, dissolving the Revolutionary Guard, and a non-nuclear Iran with international and regional coexistence and cooperation. Maryam Rajavi called on the European Union to include the Revolutionary Guard in its list of terrorist organisations, to trigger the so-called 'snapback mechanism' in the 2016 Iran nuclear deal that would restore UN sanctions against the regime, to designate the regime as a serious threat to global peace and security and to recognise the Iranian people’s right to struggle to overthrow the regime, as well as what she called <Iranian youth's legitimate struggle> against the Revolutionary Guard. The protests, she said, had rejected both the present clerical dictatorship and the Shah's dictatorship which preceded it; they were false alternatives. <The Iranian people are ready to overthrow the regime.> >>

<<Controversial <Chastity and Hijab> Bill Presented to Parliament
The Iranian news website Entekhab published the complete text of the <Chastity and Hijab> bill, sparking heated debate among the public about personal liberties, women's rights and the extent of government control. The bill, which was presented to parliament on May 24 by the government of Ebrahim Raisi, outlines severe penalties for women who violate mandatory headscarf rules. Non-compliance with the Islamic Republic's strict dress code is deemed as <nudity.> Offenders could face fines of up to 8 million tomans ($150), with the fines being doubled if not paid within a month, lose their jobs and be banned from social media activities for up to one year. And repeat offenders would face imprisonment from six months to three years. The <Chastity and Hijab> bill has gained support from some officials of the Islamic Republic who consider the hijab a <red line.> Detractors argue that the proposed law focuses on punitive measures, restricts personal freedoms and unjustly interferes with individuals' clothing choices. The controversial bill was drafted following months-long nationwide protests demanding more freedoms and women's rights. All women in Iran must conceal their hair with a headscarf and wear loose fitting trousers under their coats while in public, but a growing number of Iranian women have appeared in public without head coverings. In response, authorities have closed down hundreds of businesses due to the failure of owners or managers to observe hijab rules, and taxi drivers have been fined for transporting women without headscarves. Police and volunteers issue warnings in subways, airports and other public places. Text messages have targeted drivers who had women without head covering in their vehicles.>>

<< <Iran-Run> Islamic Charity in London Closes Doors
A British charity run by a representative of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei shut its doors on May 24, after the charity regulator tried to take control and media investigations exposed hate speech among its speakers. A notice posted on the Islamic Centre of England's (ICE) closed gates said, <It is with great sadness that we have to inform our Congregation & Community that due to the unforeseen circumstances, all programs including daily prayers are suspended until further notice.> The message was later removed. An employee at the ICE told The Telegraph that the charity will be closed for the next two to three days. The Charity Commission, which registers and regulates charities in England and Wales, launched an inquiry into the ICE in November last year over <serious governance concerns.> Earlier this month, the commission appointed a senior partner at an international law firm as manager <due to the trustees' failure to comply with their legal duties and responsibilities and their failure to protect the charity's assets.> The watchdog said the interim manager <will conduct a review of the charity's governance and administration and make recommendations to the Commission based on her findings.> A Charity Commission spokesman said on May 24, <We are aware of the developments at the charity. Our inquiry is ongoing, and we remain in close contact with the interim manager we appointed to the charity earlier this month. We can't comment further at this time.> Senior UK politicians have called for the controversial charity, comprising a religious and cultural center, to be shut down. It has been described as the <London offic> of the Iranian regime by MP Alicia Kearns, chair the foreign affairs select committee. Theresa Villiers, who sits on the intelligence and security select committee, called the charity <the voice> of Khamenei in the UK. Concerns were raised after The Telegraph revealed the center had hosted a vigil for General Ghasem Soleimani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' expeditionary Quds Force, who had been killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad in January 2020. The ICE's director Seyed Hashem Moosavi praised Soleimani as a <great martyr.> The IRGC funds and directs terror groups abroad that are linked to the Islamic Republic. Also, analysis of the sheikhs listed as speakers at the ICE shows that some have called for <academic jihad> in schools, the eradication of Western <empires> and the <compassionate> killing of gay people, the Times newspaper reported. Islamic scholars promoted by the center have also delivered sermons to crowds that chanted <death to England.> >>

<<Paris Garden Renamed after Mahsa Amini
Authorities in the French capital have renamed a garden after a young Iranian woman whose death in police custody in September last year sparked months-long anti-government protests. <In tribute to this Iranian Kurdish student who died at the age of 22 after being arrested by police for having worn her hijab improperly, the Jardin Villemin was renamed <Jardin Villemin - Mahsa Jîna Amini,> the town hall of Paris's 10th district said on its Twitter account on May 23. Anger over Amini's death in Tehran prompted Iranians to take to the streets nationwide to demand fundamental economic, social and political changes. The security forces have unleashed a brutal clampdown on the women-led protest movement, killing more than 520 people during demonstrations and unlawfully detaining over 20,000 others, activists say. Following biased trials, the judiciary has handed down stiff sentences, including the death penalty, to protesters.>>

Four Tortured Protesters Face Death Penalty over Alleged 'Killing' of Basij Member
On November 16 last year, three men named Ali Abbasi, Morad Bahramian and Muslem Hoshangi were shot and killed by security agents during mass protests in Samirom, a city in Isfahan province. On December 31, which coincided with mourning ceremonies marking 40th days since their death, the streets of Samirom witnessed a surge of protests against the Islamic Republic amid heavy presence of security and military forces throughout the city. Clashes resulted in the alleged death of Mohsen Rezaei, a member of the paramilitary Basij force. In response, hundreds of special police forces were deployed to various points across Samirom starting from the morning of January 1, according to information received by IranWire. Raids were conducted on the homes of some of the victims' families and arrested a number of people, including Abbasi's sister and Bahramian's two brothers.
IranWire understands that four people arrested for participating in the protests face the death penalty.
Since the November 16 incident in Samirom, security forces have intensified pressure on the families of the deceased and other demonstrators. On the morning of January 1, alongside reports of arrests in Samirom, Morteza Amomehedi, the deputy commander of the Isfahan Revolutionary Guard Corps, claimed that a Basij member named Mohsen Rezaei had been killed during the previous night's protests. The authorities alleged that the arrests were made in connection with this incident.
What Happened in Samirom on December 31?
During the first months of the <Women, Life, Freedom> protest movement, Samirom was the scene of widespread street protests. On December 31, while mourners were gathered at the grave of Abbasi, his sister compared the youth of Iran to a resilient <phoenix.> <It's hard to believe, Ali, that no one has had the courage to hang your obituary on the door or the wall yet. Just a few days ago, your Mandatory Military Service Completion Card arrived by mail,> she said.
<But now the drums of war have started to beat.>
A resident of Samirom told IranWire that a large crowd attended the mourning ceremony for Abbasi. <The following day, a significant number of citizens gathered in front of the governor's office to protest against the killings and oppression of the people.> <At around 5 a.m., security forces launched an attack on Ali Abbasi's house with the intention of arresting his sister, who had delivered a speech at the gravesite. However, Ali's uncle resisted their actions. Mr. Shiri, Ali Abbasi's uncle, managed to help his sister escape, but during the confrontation with the officers, they threw him from the roof, resulting in a broken arm and leg.> According to the witness, Ali Abbasi's uncle was transported to Samirom Hospital by his relatives, but the hospital was swiftly surrounded by security forces. The witness added that the authorities <attempted to apprehend Mr. Shiri....but the people prevented them from entering the hospital.> <Mr. Shiri underwent surgery that night. However, on the same night, the agents arrested the two brothers of Murad Bahramian, who had lost his life during the recent protests.>
What is the condition of the detainees?
According to IranWire’s source, Fazel and Mehran Bahramian, the brothers of Murad Bahramian, a close relative named Younes Bahramian and another man named Dariush Saadi have been subjected to torture to extract confessions related to the alleged murder of the Basij militiaman.
<Nearly 1,000 security forces and special units were dispatched from Isfahan to Semirom to apprehend these individuals, outnumbering the protesters on the streets,> the source said. The Chief of Justice of Isfahan province claimed that Mohsen Rezaei was killed during <illegal> gatherings in front of the Semirom governorate. <These citizens are well-known and highly respected in Semirom,> an informed source told IranWire. <The families of the victims are grieving and outraged over the killing of Mahsa Amini and the spilt blood of their loved ones.> The bereaved families remain silent, fearing for the lives of those arrested. They are not allowed to hire legal representation. The authorities informed them that their sentences have not been announced to avoid further disturbance in Semirom. Based on information received by IranWire, Fazel and Mehran Bahramian were transferred to solitary cells at the Isfahan IRGC Intelligence Department, located in Dolat Abad, 10 days after their arrest. According to a reliable source, the two prisoners endured severe torture until March 19, after which they were moved to Ward A of Dastgerd prison in Isfahan.
....
Both men are currently held in solitary confinement at the IRGC intelligence detention center in Dolat Abad, Isfahan province, with limited communication permitted with their relatives. <Although no trial has taken place for these four individuals, the interrogators have informed them verbally that they are accused of waging war and corruption, leaving them with no choice but to confess to the charges leveled against them,> a source told IranWire. Both charges carry a death sentence. <The people of Samirom are deeply concerned for the fate of their fellow citizens and urgently call upon freedom advocates worldwide to amplify their voices in support of these detainees before it is too late,> the source said.>>

<<Eight medical students in Tabriz sentenced to academic suspension and exile
We have neither the right to education nor the right to live in the city we love
In the ongoing wave of suppression of students by the intelligence and security institutions of the Mullah regime, eight medical students in Tabriz have been sentenced to academic suspension and exile to the cities of Ahvaz, Semnan, Kashan, Urmia, and Ardabil. These unjust verdicts were issued after these students protested the widespread poisoning of schools during a gathering on March 7, 2023. Mir-Mehdi Mousavian, a medical student, has been sentenced to a 2-year academic suspension and exile to Semnan. Mohammad-Amin Soltanzadeh, a medical student at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, has been sentenced by the Central Disciplinary Council of the Ministry of Health to a 3-term academic suspension and educational exile to the city of Kashan. Sohila Sepidedam, a pharmacy student, has been sentenced to a 4-term academic suspension and educational exile to Ahvaz.

And Reza Ansarian, a medical student at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, has been sentenced to a 3-term academic suspension and educational exile to Urmia. After the widespread arrests and imprisonment of students who had been at the forefront of the 2022-2023 uprising, the Iranian regime has begun depriving students of education to exert more pressure on this intellectual and freedom-loving class. Among those who were denied education are a considerable number of female students.>>

Opinion by Gino d'Artali to the below: I simply had the urge to include the below quote and url to the actual article because first of I highly and deeply solidarize with the Palestinians because I've been there and was a witness of the heinous crimes of the fascist israeli armee and today the latter's crimes are even more heinous because even more directed at innocent children. And it makes me think of the heinousity of the fascist iranian mullah's who are on a hanging spree of innocent children because to a mother a son or daughter is or will always be her baby. Here goes:

MEMO - Middle East Monitor -
<<Gaza: Israel confesses to intentionally killing children to pressure resistance
May 13, 2023
While the Israeli occupation boasts about targeting military leaders of the Palestinian resistance, the photos and field reports in the Gaza Strip reveal that the assassinations also caused the deaths of dozens of Palestinian civilians, including women and children. Yossi Klein, a writer for Israel's Haaretz newspaper, wrote: <There's nothing like killing children for bringing together hearts and minds. For the past 18 weeks, Israelis have been fighting each other, unable to find anything to bring us closer together. Then came the killing of the children in the Gaza Strip and proved that we're brothers, after all.> Klein added in an article translated by Arabi21: <Barriers fell, and ill will was forgotten. Yair Lapid placed a consoling arm on Benjamin Netanyahu's shoulder, while Benny Gantz leaned his head against May Golan, and it was surprising that the entire Knesset didn't stand up and spontaneously break out to sing 'Hatikva'. It must be admitted, killing children is the most heinous of crimes. There is no crime more contemptible; in that lies its despicableness and its power. It acts as a deterrent, it's effective, and streams fresh, new blood to flow into our arteries.> Klein noted: <If anyone had any doubt that the air force is strong and threatening, the childrens' killing went and proved that it's too early to say any eulogies for it. It's strong, it's terrifying and it's confronting an army of about 30,000 soldiers who lack the means for aerial combat,> pointing out that: <The killing of children and the bombing of civilians are of greater deterrence and effectiveness than any 'target bank', the infamous 'collapsing' of buildings, or any attempt to 'eradicate the foundations of terrorism once and for all.'>The writer conveyed: <Killing children is designed to cause pain, to strike the most sensitive place of all. It isn't designed to stop terrorism; it's designed to deter the terrorists and make us happy. When Itamar Ben-Gvir talks about 'a painful blow,' I imagine that he's referring precisely to that. In fact, he should change his election slogan - not '50 dead terrorists for every missile,' but rather '50 dead children for every missile,'> noting that killing Palestinian children is an effective step engraved in the memory of Israeli public opinion. Klein stressed: <The pictures of eight-year-old Ali Izzeldeen and his 12-year-old sister, Miar, are impossible to forget. They look too similar to our own children - after all, everyone knows a child of a similar age - and the thought that we killed them should give us no rest. These thoughts will always continue to haunt us because these pictures are not the result of just a minor misstep. It's not like a pilot arrives, boards a plane, kills whatever number of nameless, faceless human beings and returns for lunch. Here, with the dead children from Gaza, these are pictures that will haunt him all his life and appear in his nightmares. I'm sure that in the pilots' training course they prepare cadets for such a situation - a case in which their personal conscience stands in contradiction with their professional duty.> These Israeli confessions may find their way to publication in time. It holds the occupation army responsible for committing violent massacres against Palestinian civilians, especially children, under the pretext of deterring the Palestinian resistance, which has proven, in all operations, its moral superiority over the occupation when it avoided targeting women and children. Unlike the Israelis - by their own admission.>>
