<<Iran’s Security Agencies Coerce Muslims to Denounce Jailed Baha'i Women
Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and a prosecutor in Isfahan city have coerced Muslim neighbors and friends of 10 jailed Baha'i women into filing complaints against them, reports say. Several individuals summoned in this context have been forced to file complaints against these women, under pressure, threats and intimidation, according to Radio Farda. Yeganeh Agahi, Negin Khademi, Arezo Sobhanian, Yeganeh Roohbakhsh, Shana Shoghifar, Mojgan Shahrezaei, Neda Badakhsh, Bahareh Lotfi and Neda Emadi were arrested on Monday, October 23. According to sources, the arrests were carried out with a court order, and some of the personal belongings of these citizens were also confiscated by security agents. Several of these citizens have previously faced arrests and other court orders. The Isfahan prosecutor has informed the families of these women that their detention may last from <six months to one year.> Baha'is have been systematically persecuted in Iran for 44 years because of their faith and are often accused of being spies or opposed to the Iranian government. The Baha'i International Community and other spokespersons note that no evidence has ever been provided to demonstrate these charges. The Iranian government has intensified its crackdown on members of the Baha'i faith, imprisoning dozens of them on spurious charges over the past year, as well as denying access to higher education, livelihoods, and confiscating or destroying personal properties.>>

<<Iranian Elementary Student Dies After School Camp Accident
An Iranian elementary school student has died from injuries sustained during a school camp in the northeastern Caspian province of Golestan, an accident that raised questions about the organizers' adherence to weather warnings. The head of Motahari Hospital in Golestan announced that Emad Shamloo passed away on the evening of November 23. Rasool Salahi earlier said that Emad was receiving artificial respiration with a ventilator. The incident unfolded in the city of Minoodasht on November 20 when a falling tree injured two pupils and a teacher. Emad was among the injured, and his health condition was immediately recognised as critical. The camp had proceeded amid strong winds despite weather warnings issued by the Golestan Meteorological Department. The prosecutor's office in Minoodasht has summoned five people for questioning as part of an investigation into the incident. Those summoned include the head of the education department of Minoodasht, two of his deputies, as well as the director and deputy director of education at Shahed elementary school in Minoodasht.>>

<<RSF: Journalists in Iran <Deserve to Be Celebrated, Not Imprisoned>
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has called for the release of two journalists imprisoned in Iran, saying they are <paying, like many of their colleagues in the country, the price of their duty to inform.> Saeedeh Shafiei and Nasim Sultanbeigi were sentenced to three and a half years in prison amid a crackdown on the media and dissent following a popular uprising that erupted in September last year. Shafiei went to Tehran's Evin prison to begin serving her sentence on November 19, while Sultanbeigi joined her there two days later. The two journalists were tried at a public hearing in early July and were convicted later that month of colluding, participating in illegal gatherings and disseminating anti-government propaganda.
Their convictions were upheld in September.
Besides receiving prison terms, Shafiei and Sultanbeigi were banned from traveling abroad and joining any group or organization for two years after their release. The pair had been released provisionally in February after being arrested the previous month for covering the monthslong nationwide protests sparked by Mahsa Amini's death in police custody on September 16, 2022. <The Islamic Republic continues to exact its revenge against journalists who....have fulfilled their duties in serving the public's right to news and information,> Jonathan Dagher, head of RSF's Middle East desk, said in a statement on November 23. Shafiei and Sultanbeigi <are courageous reporters, like their ten colleagues who are also being held for covering the protests.They deserve to be celebrated, not imprisoned,> he added.>>

<<Iranian Authorities Criticized for <Unlawful> Detentions of Azeri Activists
Nearly 200 Iranian activists, journalists, writers and former political prisoners have condemned a recent wave of arrests and other forms of pressure targeting Azeri civil society activists in the country. In a joint statement, the 196 signatories urged the Iranian judiciary and security institutions to put an end to the <unlawful treatment> of ethnic Azeri activists. They said that these activists have been subjected to unjustified prolonged detention and extensions of temporary detention. While in custody, they have had their communications with their families restricted. The signatories cited the case of Morteza Noormohammadi Nadarli, who was remanded in custody despite being granted bail. The statement also expressed alarm over the fate of Roya Zakeri, a woman who was taken to a psychiatric hospital in the northwestern city of Tabriz last month after a video of her yelling <death to the dictator> went viral on social media. The collective of activists posted their statement online, asking the public to add their signatures. Many Azeri activists were arrested amid increased government pressure on dissent and civil society ahead of the September 16 anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death in police custody. Amini's death sparked nationwide protests against the Iranian establishment which were brutally put down by security forces. More than 500 people were killed in the repression and over 20,000 were arrested, including many journalists, human rights advocates and civil activists.>>

<<Iranian Man Jailed in Germany Over Poison Attack Plot
A German court has sentenced an Iranian man to four years in prison followed by preventive detention for planning an attack with deadly chemicals.
Dirk Kienitz, the presiding judge at the Dortmund regional court, said in his verdict that the 26-year old defendant <was determined to carry out a terrorist attack using toxic substances,> according to a court statement. The man, who was identified by prosecutors only as J.J. due to German privacy rules, was detained in the town of Castrop-Rauxel in January along with his older brother, who was later released. Online conversations with several people said to be close to the Islamic State extremist group had alerted anti-terrorist investigators, the statement said. It later emerged that the defendant had received instructions on how to produce the potent toxins cyanide and ricin, and had started gathering the necessary ingredients. However, the judge said in his verdict that <the instructions were unusable.> Five years ago, German police arrested a Tunisian man and his wife on suspicion of planning to carry out a ricin attack in the name of the Islamic State. They were later sentenced to 10 and eight years' imprisonment, respectively.>>
