Narges Mohammadi
Iranwire - Jan 15 2024
<<Jailed Iranian Nobel Winner Handed New Prison Term
The family of Iranian human rights activist and Nobel peace prize laureate Narges Mohammadi says she has been handed an additional 15-month prison sentence on charges of spreading propaganda against the Islamic Republic while behind bars. Mohammadi was sentenced by the Tehran Revolutionary Court after a trial that she boycotted, the family said in a statement on Instagram on January 15. The activist was also ordered to spend two years in exile outside the capital, Tehran, given a two-year travel ban, and barred from using a smartphone for two years. The restrictions would come into force after she is eventually freed. The family said the verdict emphasized accusations that <she repeatedly incites and encourages public and individual opinions against the Islamic regime to sow chaos and disturbances.> This was her fifth conviction since March 2021, with sentences now amounting to 12 years and three months in prison, 154 lashes, two years of exile, and various social and political restrictions, according to the family's statement. Mohammadi was awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize in October for keeping up her fight against the <oppression of women> in her country despite spending years behind bars. Her children accepted the prize in Oslo on her behalf in December. While behind the bars of Tehran's Evin prison, she has continued accusing the authorities of systematic rights violations and remained a vocal opponent of mandatory hijab.>>

Preface from G. d'A.: I know I'm repeating myself with the above but it cannot be said enough: Journalism is not a crime! And any (indirect) news about our dear sister Jina Amini is a commemorative one so read long:
Iranwire - 15 Jan 2024
<<Iranian Journalists Jailed over Amini Coverage Released on Bail
Two Iranian women journalists jailed for their coverage of the September 2022 death in custody of Mahsa Amina were released on January 14 after spending a year and a half behind bars. Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi were granted temporary release on $200,000 bail pending an appeal of their sentences, the judiciary said. The pair left Tehran's Evin amidst a joyous outpouring of support from friends, colleagues and activists. News of their release, accompanied by celebratory pictures and videos on social media, sparked a wave of joy across the country. The Tehran Revolutionary Court sentenced Mohammadi and Hamedi in October to 12 and 13 years in prison, respectively, on charges including collaborating with the US government, colluding to commit crimes against national security, and engaging in propaganda activities against the Islamic Republic. On January 15, the main pages of Hamamihan and Shargh newspapers, where the journalists were working before their arrests, featured photographs capturing the moment Mohammadi and Hamidi were released from prison. The papers ran headlines proclaiming <The Good Day of Freedom> and <Niloofar and Elahe have arrived.> While welcoming their temporary release, the Journalist Association of Tehran province voiced criticism against the hefty bail imposed on the journalists. In a statement, the association expressed hope that the severe sentences handed down to them will be overturned on appeal. Mahsa Amini's father, Amjad, congratulated Mohammadi and Hamedi, saying, <The news of your release, after 400 days of suffering in prison and being away from your family, brought joy to all of us.> Iran's former crown prince, Reza Pahlavi, an exiled opposition figure, called for the release of all political prisoners. <I welcome the release of two courageous journalists, Mrs. Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi, after 16 months of unjust imprisonment, extend my congratulations to their families, and express my hopes for the release of all political prisoners held captive by the regime,> he wrote on the social media platform X. Sherif Mansour of the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said that the two journalists' convictions <are a travesty and serve as a stark testament to the erosion of freedom of speech and the desperate attempts of the Iranian government to criminalize journalism.> >>

Iranwire - 15 Jan 2024
<<Hijab Case Filed against Journalists Day after Release
The Islamic Republic judiciary has launched new proceedings against two journalists for posing without the mandatory headscarf upon their release after nearly a year and a half behind bars. Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi were released on January 14 from Tehran's Evin prison, where they had been held for their coverage of the 2022 death in custody of Mahsa Amini. Images of the two journalists smiling outside the prison, without a mandatory headscarf, widely circulated on social media. The Mizan website, which is affiliated with the judiciary, said the images showed <the women without hijab> and <a new case was filed against the defendants> as a result. In October, the 36-year-old Mohammadi and Hamedi, 31, were sentenced to 12 and 13 years in prison, respectively, on charges including collaborating with the US government, colluding to commit crimes against national security, and engaging in propaganda activities against the Islamic Republic. They were temporarily released on $200,000 bail and barred from leaving the country pending an appeal of their sentences. Authorities cracked down hard on the monthslong protests sparked by Amini's death in September 2022 while she was in police custody for an alleged hijab violation. More than 500 people were killed and over 22,000 others were unlawfully detained in the clampdown, including dozens of journalists, activists say. Following biased trials, the judiciary handed down stiff sentences, including the death penalty, to protesters. At least eight of them have been executed so far.>>

<<Taliban arrest women for wearing ‘bad hijab’
The Taliban have arrested several women in Kabul for wearing 'bad Hijab'.
News Center- The Taliban authorities have intensified their crackdown against dress code violations. According to the local reports, authorities arrested at least 10 women in the Khair Khana and Dasht-e Barchi neighborhoods of Kabul on Sunday for not following the dress code imposed by the Taliban. The local sources reported that the Taliban's Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice officials had arrested women and taken them to unknown locations. In recent days, the Taliban's Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has initiated a new wave of arrests against girls and women in various areas of Kabul for not following the dress code. The crackdown is the latest blow to Afghan women and girls, who have already been marginalized by the Taliban's bans on education, employment, and restrictions in access to public spaces. In May 2022, the Taliban issued a decree and called on Afghan women to show only their eyes in public.>>

Roya Heshmati
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 6 Jan 2024
<<Implementation of Inhumane Sentence: Kurdish Activist Roya Heshmati Subjected to 74 Lashes in Tehran
The inhumane sentence of 74 lashes for Roya Heshmati, a Kurdish female activist from Sanandaj residing in Tehran, was carried out at the District 7 Prosecutor's Office in Tehran. Violence was employed by officers against Roya Heshmati before administering the flogging due to her removal of the scarf. According to a report received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, the 74 lashes sentence of 33-year-old Roya Heshmati was executed after she was summoned to the first branch of the District 7 Prosecutor's Office in Tehran. Earlier this year, she was sentenced by the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran to one year of suspended prison, 74 lashes, and a three-year ban from leaving the country. This sentence was imposed due to her act of publishing a photo without the mandatory hijab on Keshavarz Boulevard in Tehran. In her account of the incident, Roya Heshmati revealed that an employee of the sentence execution branch threatened to intensify the flogging and open a new case against her for removing the scarf. She likened the execution site to a <medieval torture chamber.> The activist, who opposes compulsory hijab, detailed how a female officer forcibly placed a scarf on her head and described being flogged on her shoulder, back, buttock, and leg. Roya Heshmati shared her experience, stating: <I didn't count the blows; I was chanting in the name of the woman, in the name of life. The clothes of slavery were torn; our black night dawned; all the whips were axed.> The right to choose one's type of clothing is emphasized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. The use of flogging by the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran contradicts international human rights principles, as flogging is considered an inhumane, cruel, and degrading act. Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights explicitly prohibits the implementation of such punishments.
Hengaw has translated Roya Heshmati's article, shared on her Facebook page with the hashtag <Jin, Jiyan, Azadi>, into English, which is presented below:
This morning, I received a call from the sentencing execution office to carry out the 74-lash sentence. I promptly contacted my lawyer, and together we proceeded to the 7th district court. Upon entering, I chose to remove my hijab. Inside the hall, the echoes of a woman's distress emanated from the staircase, possibly indicating her imminent sentence execution. My lawyer advised me, <Roya, reconsider. The repercussions of the lashes will endure for a long time.> We proceeded to the first branch of the sentence execution office. An employee there suggested I put on my headscarf to avoid trouble. Calmly and respectfully, I conveyed that I came specifically for the lashes, and I would not yield. The execution officer was summoned and instructed me to wear the hijab and follow him. Firmly, I stated that I would not wear my hijab. He threatened to whip me severely and open a new case, adding another seventy-four lashes. I maintained my stance and did not wear the hijab. We descended, and they had brought some young men for alcohol-related charges. The man in authority repeated sternly, <Didn't I say wear your hijab?> I did not comply. Two chador-wearing women came and pulled a scarf over my head. I resisted, repeatedly removing it, but they persisted. Handcuffing me from behind, they continued pulling the scarf over my head. We proceeded to the ground floor, using the same stairs where the woman had been taken. A room awaited us at the bottom of the parking lot. The judge, the execution officer, and the chador-wearing woman stood beside me. The woman seemed visibly affected, sighing several times and expressing understanding, saying, <I know. I know.> The judge smiled at me, reminiscent of a character from <Boofe Kur.> I averted my gaze from him. The iron door creaked open, revealing a room with cement walls. At the bottom of the room, there was a bed equipped with handcuffs and iron bands welded to both sides. An iron device resembling a large easel, complete with places for handcuffs and a rusty iron binding in the center, stood in the middle of the room. Additionally, a chair and a small table, hosting an array of flogs, were positioned behind the door. It resembled a fully-equipped medieval torture chamber. The judge inquired, <Are you okay? Do you not have any problems?> As he wasn't talking to me, I remained silent. He then stated, <I am with you, madam!> Once again, I chose not to respond. The executioner instructed me to remove my coat and lie on the bed. I hung my coat and scarf from the base of the torture canvas. He insisted, <Put on your scarf!> I firmly replied that I wouldn't. Put the Quran under your arm and do what you have to do. The woman urged, <Please don't be stubborn.> She brought the scarf and pulled it over my head. The man retrieved a black leather whip from the collection behind the door, wrapping it around his hand twice as he approached the bed. The judge cautioned not to strike too hard. The man commenced hitting my shoulders, back, hips, and legs. I refrained from counting the number of hits. I quietly chanted, <In the name of woman, in the name of life, the clothes of slavery are torn, our black night will dawn, and all the whips will be axed...> The ordeal concluded. I ensured they didn't perceive any pain on my part. We ascended to the judge for sentence execution. A female officer trailed behind, cautious of my scarf. I discarded my scarf at the branch door. She implored me to wear it, but I resisted. Inside the judge's chamber, he acknowledged discomfort with the case but insisted on its implementation. I chose silence. He suggested living abroad for a different life; I affirmed our commitment to resistance, emphasizing the universality of this country. He insisted on legal adherence, and I urged the law to fulfill its role while we persist in our resistance. We exited the room, and I removed my scarf. Gratitude, dear Mr. Tatai, for your companionship, which makes these challenging days more bearable. I extend my apologies for not being an ideal client; I'm confident you'll comprehend. Thank you for everything.>>

Farzaneh Barzekar
NCRI - Womens committee -5 Jan 2024 - in Women's News
<<Farzaneh Barzekar Faces Sentence for Seeking Justice and Removing her Veil
Zeinab Khonyabpour Sentenced to 2 Years for Unveiling
The First Branch of the Revolutionary Court and Branch 106 of the Penal Court No. 2 of Amol sentenced Farzaneh Barzekar to imprisonment, payment of cash fine, and social deprivations. Farzaneh Barzekar is the mother of Erfan Rezaii, a 21-year-old who was slain at the hands of security forces in Amol, during protests on September 21, 2022. She was arrested and detained in the Prison of Qaemshahr, on September 3, 2023, before the first anniversary of her son's death. The clerical regime intimidated the families of slain protesters, and made many arrests among their parents, siblings, and other relatives to prevent the outbreak of another uprising on the anniversary of their deaths. The regime did not allow any of the families to commemorate their loved ones at their tombs or hold any ceremonies at their homes. In some cases, they arrested and detained one or both parents, or placed them under house arrest and blocked access to their residence. Ms. Farzaneh Barzekar was among the outspoken parents who sought justice for her son and wanted to commemorate him. Ms. Barzekar's lawyer said she has been sentenced to a total of 24 months of jail time on charges of propaganda against the state and insulting Ali Khamenei. The jail sentence has been suspended for two years but she will have to pay five million tomans of fine for publishing photos of herself without covering her hair. She must pay another 15 million Tomans for disseminating falsities in cyber space, and she is going to be deprived of activity on social media for one year. By issuing a suspended jail sentence, the regime practically restricts the person's freedoms, as they could face arrest if they engage in similar actions again.

Zeinab Khonyabpour Sentenced to 2 Years for Unveiling

When she referred to the Department of Justice to unseal her business, she got arrested and jailed for six days in the Sepidar Prison of Ahvaz. Behbahan and Mahshahr are cities in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, known for being centers of protests.>>

Fascistic hijab enforcers
NCRI - Womens committee - in Women's news - 26 Dec 2023
<<Hijab monitors and plainclothes agents search passengers' personal belongings
Hijab monitors and plainclothes agents search passengers’ personal belongings at the City Theatre Metro Station. The eyewitness observation was reported by journalist working for the state-run Jamaran.news on Tuesday, December 26, 2023. The report states, plainclothes agents present in this station undertake measures, including <illegal filming of people under the pretext of Hijab warning, checking their mobile phones without written warrant and taking pictures from the telephone's registry, searching the passengers' backpacks and bags.> One of the agents was cited as saying these measures <are the instructions of the Interior Ministry and Tehran's Municipality aids in this plan.> These measures are beyond the duty of Hijab monitors defined as giving verbal warnings. Obviously, the clerical regime is using the Hijab monitors and their teams to identify their opponents. The clerical regime's interior minister had earlier claimed that the widespread presence of Hijab patrols had nothing to do with the Interior Ministry. He claimed that they did not need any licenses to carry out their duties. However, two daily newspapers published photos of the Interior Minister's <top secret> directive on May 30, 2023, which emphasized on the arrest and dealing with women who removed their Hijab. Despite the publication of this document, Vahidi said Hijab patrols did not need to have licenses to carry out their duties. One of the regime officials revealed on December 22, 2023, that Hijab Monitors were not acting spontaneously and on their own will. Abdul-Hossein Khosrow-Panah, secretary of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution (SCCR), said the activities of Hijab monitors were organized by the Chastity and Hijab Garrison and the SCCR, and coordinated by the Interior Ministry.>>

<<Iranian Activists, Intellectuals Blast <Oppressive> Policies Against Women
Nine Iranian political activists and intellectuals have condemned the Islamic Republic's enforcement of mandatory headscarf law, calling it a <major social, political and security issue.> <Compulsory hijab lacks any basis or justification, not only from an intellectual standpoint but also under the framework of traditional Sharia law which the Islamic government claims to adhere to,> they said in a joint statement. The text is signed by Seddiqeh Vasmaghi, Zahra Rahnavard, Hashem Aghajari, Nasrin Sotoudeh, Farhad Meysami, Lotfullah Meysami, Alieh Motalebzadeh, Mustafa Malekian and Naser Zarafshan. <We condemn the double oppression inflicted upon half of society through the imposition of compulsory hijab,> the signatories said, calling for the relevant law. <However, it is astonishing that despite the majority's opposition, the government has intensified its violent measures against women and, worse yet, seeks to evade responsibility for these actions through deceit and lies,> they added. The statement characterized mandatory hijab as <an affront to the dignity and rights of Iranian women> and called for an <end to all oppressive policies against women in various personal and social spheres.> As an alternative, the signatories advocate for <optional hijab.> 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 women have appeared in public since monthslong demonstrations erupted in September last year following the death of a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, in police custody.
