you'll read are in total very long stories and often painfull but... one should not forget that the
strength of the not-accepting the mandatory hijab women is stronger than the
patriarchal regime and its shia mullahs and judiciary.
They'll keep up the fight against it!

Iranwire - July 24, 2023 - by Jailed human rights activist Narges Mohammadi and
her tweet on July 22, 2023
<<Mohammadi: <Tyrannical> Theocracy Uses Forced Hijab to Suppress Women
Jailed human rights activist Narges Mohammadi has responded to a new round of
pressure by the government of the Islamic Republic to impose
mandatory hijab on women, calling it a conspiracy by the country's theocracy to
subjugate women. <Contrary to claims by the theocracy, covering
women's hair was not meant to 'protect women's dignity' and 'control men's
sexual urge'> Mohammadi said in an Instagram message on July 22. <In
fact, covering our hair was to preserve tyranny and to satisfy men's dictatorial
lust. Now the world is witnessing that women's 'power of refusal' has
broken the 'tyrannical power' of theocracy.> <Forced hijab was a conspiracy by
the tyrannical government to expand suppression, to institutionalize
submission, to enforce (hidden) violence> in order to subjugate women, dominate
them and remove them from the public sphere, she continued.
<The fact is that forced hijab is not only a 'women's problem;' it is the
problem of the whole society; it is a problem for freedom, for deliverance from
tyranny, for justice, for overthrowing injustice and oppression, for realizing
peace, democracy and human rights and for getting rid of violence and
discrimination. Therefore, nobody can ignore this issue, regardless of creed,
ideology and beliefs. <We, the women, have achieved the historical
power and position to bring about revolutionary changes...and we can have no
doubt that our power to refuse and to disobey forced hijab would
defeat the tyrannical power of theocracy.> Mohammadi is one of the best-known
human rights activists in Iran. She has been harassed, arrested and
imprisoned many times and is currently serving a 16-year prison sentence in
Tehran's Evin Prison. The outspoken activist has received many awards
and accolades, including the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize and
the Andrei Sakharov Prize of the American Physical Society.>>

First and foremost important to know is that especially the IRGC, and backed-up
by the basij, recently is so eager to control if women obey to the
mandatory hijab because... elections are due. And they know all too well that
Khamenei has become the weakest link for the by the Shia-mullahs
controlled and delegated powers to the ones to continue and carrying on the
regime's grip on the country that a scape-goat is needed and thinking
that when women refusing to obey the tyrany of the mandatory hijab will be that
scape-goat for them to be able to secure their control and even, who knows,
already have a replacement for Khamenei in mind. But think of this: what if the
No-hijabis by the tens-of-thousands storm the parliament which happens so
un-expected and by absolute surprise that it toples the regime and with it its
domino stones, the basij and the IRGC and the Shia-mullahs. Food for thought and
inspiration. Long live Free Iran

Sunday - July 23, 2023 - 'Woman, Life, Freedom' The No-hijabis vs. the regime:
Personal reflection on why the 'No-hijabis' topic is such an important topic to
me: all my life I've travelled and met, learned about and respected many
many different people from all kinds of life and cultures and learned their
language although and I'm really sorry but not Japanese nor Arabic or Farsi
although I do speak a little bit. But... if there's one thing I've learned it is
to have respect for somebody, even if I didn't understand the whys'
thoroughly (although for me this does not include right-wing thoughts and
politics). But the least one can and should do is to accept ones personal
choices and culture. So if a woman wants and even needs the freedom to choose
whatever she wants to wear or how that's her choice and I respect
that. But concerning wearing a headscarf: many women do wear one be it also here
in a way she chooses too: for example with hairs dancing around
her head with pride and joy because she knows and feels it makes her (even) more
beautifull and happy. That's her right and personal choice and one should
respect that if not co-enjoy it with her. But... one thing I also and foremost
learned is 'looking is free BUT NO TOUCHING without her consent'!
Now I include the below quote for an important reason and I sub-quote:
....
<<Prof. Anand Grover told the Free Iran World Summit, on July 3, <This is one of
the finest moments for people who believe in something so simple;
I will not agree with you, and I’m prepared to die. Can you think about this?
It's an amazing fate of human effort to be able to do it. Please
appreciate the conviction of their beliefs, their bravery, and the courage of
their conviction.> >>

<<30.000 victims we never forget nor forgive
The 1988 Massacre in Iran and the Urgent Need for Independent Inquiry
The 1988 massacre is a stark reminder of the Iranian regime’s complete disregard
for the sanctity and dignity of human life. The 1988 Massacre in
Iran and the Urgent Need for Independent Inquiry. 35 years ago, in the final
days of July, the Death Commissions in prisons all over Iran engaged in a quiet
yet hurried massacre and genocide. Their goal was to eliminate those who 'stood
their ground and continued to do so, as per Khomeini's order. During this time,
the Evin and Gohardasht prisons witnessed the massacre of prisoners, leaving
only a few Mojahed prisoners in other cities' facilities. In some prisons, not a
single person survived. The 1988 massacre in Iran, deemed the most significant
crime against humanity since the Second World War, stands as a stark reminder of
the Iranian regime's complete disregard for the sanctity and dignity of human
life. It serves as evidence of the corrupt and repressive regime's relentless
pursuit of power, regardless of the cost. Remembering these dark days is an act
of honoring the victims of this massacre and amplifying their voices in the
quest for freedom and justice in Iran. We must never forget that their voices
were brutally silenced by the mullahs' regime during those years, with extreme
brutality. In his speech to the Free Iran World Summit 2023, on July 3, Mr.
Stanislav Pavlovski said, <The massacre of 1988, which claimed the lives of tens
of thousands of people, was a tragic event that deeply shocked not only Iranian
society but the entire civilized world... It is known justice delayed is justice
denied, and the time for justice has come. Such tragic events should have no
place in the world based on the principles of humanity, where human life and
dignity are absolute values protected by all jurisdictions, and the world should
do everything to guarantee that they will never happen again.>
Reflecting on the massacre of 30,000 innocent souls
Reflecting on the massacre of 30,000 innocent souls sends a chill down one's
spine. The manner in which the Iranian regime executed these
individuals is deeply unsettling. Take a moment to pause and consider: why did
they all sacrifice their lives?>>
Please please do people, we may indeed <not> 'forget nor forgive':

NCRI - July 21, 2023 - in Podcast, Women's News
<<The Relaunch of the Morality Police in Iran
Today, we will focus on the recent resurgence of the Guidance Patrols, also
known as the Morality Police, in Iran.
The Guidance Patrols have a history of enforcing a strict dress code on women,
namely the mandatory hijab, in Iran. Last year, in mid-September, the violent
beating and subsequent death of a young woman sparked nationwide protests which
beyond women’s demand for freedom of choice, called for the overthrow of the
entire mullahs' regime. In response to the public's angry reaction to Mahsa
Amini's death in Police custody, the regime withdrew the guidance patrols, and
their vans vanished from the streets. The first question is why did the Iranian
regime relaunch the patrols on the 16th of July? Really, why did the Iranian
regime relaunch the patrols they are facing criticism even from their own
people, warning against its consequences, specifically the outbreak of another
nationwide uprising, as the economy is in shambles and the Iranian people have
really nothing to lose. One MP said, and I quote, <Whenever our sensitivities
towards women's hair and hijab are more than our sensitivity to embezzlement,
child laborers, social ills, garbage scavengers, etc. rest assured that we are
on the wrong path and the path of injustice.> He continued, <In circumstances
when people have economic problems, they expect us to pay attention to their
livelihood and control the inflation.> Other MPs questioned the 43-year record
of the guidance patrols, and their failure to impose the mandatory Hijab on
women by force. Even some of the Friday prayer leaders criticized the patrol's
return. But the Iranian regime finds it easier to assault defenseless women on
the streets and distract people from the grave economic problems that more than
90 percent of the population are grappling with every second and hour.
Especially these days, people around the country and even in the capital are
suffering from water outages in the heat of summer. To sum it up, the regime has
relaunched the guidance patrols because it is weaker than at any other time
during its rule. In this part, we want to discuss the news of Iranian women's
resistance against the guidance patrols. On the first day when the guidance
patrols returned to the streets, there were reports of people confronting the
patrols who harassed women for not wearing the Hijab. In Rasht, the capital of
the northern province of Gilan, a major confrontation broke out between the
guidance patrols and plainclothes agents on the one hand and the public on the
other. People chanted <Death to Khamenei,> the mullahs' leader and the
plainclothes agents used tear gas to disperse the crowd. Another noteworthy
incident happened at a gas station in Isfahan, central Iran, where other drivers
went to the aid of a woman who received a warning from the so-called vice
patrols promoting virtue. People attacked the patrols and helped the woman
escape being arrested. We haven't received any news of significant clashes in
the following days. It seems that the authorities have well understood that
Iranian women are not afraid of their patrols and will stand up against them.
Something that might spark another uprising. So, we see the patrols on the
streets but they just take films. Interestingly, the spokesman for State
Security Force stressed that the Guidance patrol vans will not be back, but the
ordinary police would be doing the warnings and making the arrests and they are
called the Social Norms Police. In the meantime, the government, namely Ebrahim
Raisi, and the judiciary have denied their part in ordering the patrols' return
while the Security Force had initially announced that they had received emphatic
orders from Raisi and the Judiciary to go ahead with the plan. In addition,
people know that last year's intensified violence against women in the streets
had been ordered by Raisi. And this year, too, no matter what the authorities
say, everyone knows that the State Security Force is part of the Interior
Ministry which is part of Raisi's government. This has become a popular joke
making headlines in the press and media saying, let's find the authorities who
ordered the return of the patrols. I think we should see these denials and
retreats as further proof of the regime's weakness. And the last issue, cause
we're running out of time. Earlier this year, in March and April, we heard about
a plethora of measures implemented to deal with women who remove their veils.
It's good to review those measures since they apparently didn't prove effective
and led to the return of the Morality Police. In March after the Nowruz
holidays, the SSF Commander announced that they would resume surveillance of
women who do not observe the mandatory Hijab. They obtained facial recognition
technology from China and created much ado about identifying women with
closed-circuit cameras and taking away their national social security cards.
They also ordered all employers and business owners to order their female
employees to cover their hair, otherwise, their companies and businesses would
be closed. They also closed and sealed hundreds and hundreds of restaurants,
shops, libraries, parks, and sightseeing places around the country for providing
service to unveiled women. They ordered banks, hospitals, metro stations,
airports, movie theatres, and other public services to refrain from providing
services to women not covering their hair. They also penalized women with heavy
fines, imprisonment, flogging, dismissal from their jobs, and depriving them of
various services, including the Internet. They deprived university students of
continuing their education and expelled them from school. And the judiciary even
handed down contemptible verdicts, forcing defiant residents, and movie stars,
to do janitorial work, wash corpses in the mortuaries for one month, or visit a
psychologist for six months to cure their <mental disorder. > All this, however,
failed to scare Iranian women and quell their passion for freedom and the
public's outrage against the regime in general. Actually, the removal of the
mandatory Hijab is a form of opposition mocking the regime's authority, and the
mullahs very well understand it.>>

Opinion by Gino d'Artali - Sunday, July 22, 2023, 21.30 pm. o'clock UTC
western-Europe - Indeed a growing number of 'No-hijabis' and men at their sides,
and thousands of them if you ask me, are more and more mocking the regime
because they can feel very well the helplessness of them as well as of the basij
now in charge of the and re-named so-called 'vice patrols and/or social norms
controls' but the question here is: has the regime formed special units to do
its 'dirty job'? Especially also because they themselves feel helpless and left
alone by a regime which more and more is loosing its grip on the country and its
people and also they, I can imagine, are feeling more and more scared when
bystanders/witnesses jump-in to the aid of the women who are being attacked. And
any man brought up and thaught well by his mother knows one does not use
violence against women! And there's also the issue of a corrupt regime in denial
of all the other problems that fear more and more it's going to backlash against
themselves because of the grave economic problems that more than 90 percent of
the population are grappling with every second and hour and have more and more
problems to put food on the table and have a glass of nice tea with it if,
because of the same corrupt regime, they can't have it neither because people
are suffering too from water outages and/or polluted water in the heat of summer
and hospitals with shortages of beds or medics to help them let alone the most
vulnerable, the children. We are not talking anymore about what and whom because
the whom I call the 'No-hijabis' are not the problem of the social unrest but
about a regime that is causing it and that it's feeling more and more that it's
loosing control and power or should I say 'powder' because it are the people and
especially the women who could set that barrel ablaze by just igniting the flint
on fire with their hijabis and blow up the regime to smithereens. Yes, I admit,
that's wishfull thinking but then again, Im not alone.

<<Iranian Sunni Cleric Denounces <Coercive Measures> Against Women without Hijab
Iran's most prominent Sunni cleric criticized the Islamic Republic's brutal
enforcement of mandatory veiling, saying in his Friday sermon that the vicious
tactics used to force women and girls into covering their hair in public are
fueling civil disobedience. Molavi Abdulhamid, the Friday prayer leader of
Zahedan, made the comments on July 21, as residents of the restive south-eastern
city returned to the streets for weekly protests against Iran's clerical
establishment. In an act of defiance against the ideology and laws of the
Islamic Republic, a growing number of women have appeared in public without
hijab since nationwide protests erupted in September last year. Some defiant
women were arrested, summoned by the authorities and faced legal cases, while
hundreds of small businesses and shopping malls were shut down for allegedly
failing to enforce hijab rules on their customers. <A large portion of these
women believe in wearing the hijab, but they are dissatisfied and angry, and
they want to express their civil disobedience by removing the hijab,> Molavi, a
key dissenting voice inside Iran since the outbreak of last year's protests,
said in his July 21 sermon. <If we want the hijab to be respected, imprisoning,
detaining and beating will not achieve that goal,> the 76-year-old outspoken
cleric added. <Even if it appears to work, it will only be temporary.> In
remarks posted on his Twitter page last week, Molavi said that <coercive
measures like compelling women to wear hijab and shutting down businesses have
yielded no positive results; instead, they have fueled more dissatisfaction and
unrest.> He offered an alternative approach using tact, wisdom and respect for
women's choices.>>

<<Police Chief: Decision to Resume <Morality> Patrols Is <Irreversible>
Top Iranian officials have expressed support for the recent resumption of street
patrols by Morality Police, despite growing public criticism over the
enforcement of the Islamic Republic's compulsory headscarf rules on women. Let
it be known that we perceive this path and mission as irreversible, owing to the
benevolent impact it has even on our audience, and we are determined to pursue
this until the very end,> police chief Ahmadreza Radan said on July 20. Radan
applauded his colleagues' <resolute and astute approach> and claimed that their
actions are a <direct response to public demands, as well as in compliance with
legal and Shariah obligations.> Judiciary head Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei also
backed the reintroduction of patrols targeting <immoral> clothing. The
authorities have drafted a new bill that would impose stiffer penalties against
women who violate the Islamic Republic's strict dress code, including fines,
imprisonment and the deprivation of social rights. Ejei said that the existing
regulations related to <hijab and chastity> will continue to apply until a new
bill that would impose stiffer penalties against women who violate the Islamic
Republic's dress code, including fines, imprisonment, and even the deprivation
of rights, is approved by parliament and enshrined in law, Meanwhile, a
parliament representative from the north-western city of Tabriz disclosed that
the interior minister had revived Morality Police's patrols as a way to avoid
potential impeachment.>>
