<<Emboldened Iran silences critics as world looks elsewhere
In the shadow of the Israel-Gaza war Iran's rulers are settling scores
with internal critics. Women who refuse to wear the headscarf are being
severely punished, activists are persecuted and prisoners have been
executed. At least 690 prisoners were executed in Iran in 2023, as of
December 1, according to the human rights organizations Center for Human
Rights in Iran and the Oslo-based Hengaw Organization for Human Rights,
whose data was based on official Iranian statistics. However, rights
organizations believe a considerable number of unreported executions
have been carried out hidden from the public eye and often only come to
light years later, when bereaved relatives have the courage to speak
out. <The world is distracted by the Gaza war. The Islamic Republic of
Iran is taking maximum advantage of this situation to crack down on its
critics, especially with executions that I would characterize as state
murder for revenge, and to intimidate society through violence,> Saeid
Dehghan, an Iranian human rights activist, told DW. Dehghan, who has
lived in Canada since 2022, has founded a worldwide network of Iranian
lawyers. He heads a legal center called Parsi Law, which provides legal
advice to people in Iran. The center also supports international
organizations, such as UN bodies, in their efforts to improve human
rights in Iran. <The sad reality is that as soon as the streets in Iran
are emptied of protesters, the country is forgotten and the global
community returns to business as usual with the Islamic Republic,> said
Dehghan. <Human rights activists understand that every country worldwide
pursues its own interests. Nevertheless, the massive oppression in Iran
must not be ignored. Especially not by politicians in Western countries,
where human rights are one of the fundamental principles of politics,>
he added.
Iran cracks down on women's rights movement
At least eight people who were arrested during nationwide women's rights
demonstrations under the slogan <Woman, Life, Freedom> have been
sentenced to death in sham trials and executed in recent months. One of
them was 21-year-old Milad Zohrevand. On November 30, he was executed
without warning, and without the opportunity to say goodbye to his
family. According to human rights activists, Zohrevand was not allowed
access to a lawyer or family visits during his imprisonment. <Slaughter
and killing do not only happen in war,> wrote imprisoned Iranian Nobel
Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi in a letter to UN Human Rights
Commission. In this open letter, which Mohammadi's husband shared with
DW, she asks the UN human rights commissioner to take urgent, decisive
and swift action to stop executions in Iran. <In this world where
everything is globalized, is humanity an exception? Is it enough to make
a statement on paper? Is the global will to stop the unsafe and
widespread executions in Iran's cities paralyzed by empty and baseless
excuses?>
Narges Mohammadi
Mohammadi wrote. Since December 3, Iranian authorities have cut off all
of Mohammadi's connections with the outside world. She is not allowed to
make phone calls or receive visitors. Her voice, and that of other
critics, has been silenced.
On December 2, Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi was arrested several days
after being released from prison. The judiciary justified the arrest
with statements he made in a video allegedly <spreading lies and
violation of public opinion.> The musician had posted a video sharing
details of how he had been arrested and harassed. Salehi was initially
arrested for showing solidarity with the nationwide women's rights
protests in the fall of 2022, and was later sentenced to six years in
prison.
No space for free speech in Iran
Journalists and media professionals in Iran are under enormous pressure
not to publish any critical articles. At the end of November, the public
prosecutor's office in Tehran took legal action against the newspaper
Etemad, which is cautiously critical of the government. The newspaper
had published a secret document showing an excerpt from a ministerial
directive for <arrests> and <other measures> against women who refuse to
wear the obligatory headscarf in public. According to the document, the
duties of Iran's <morality police> include taking photos and videos of
women to ensure dress code compliance in the <metro areas,> including
<inside the wagons.> The newspaper published this document after Iran's
interior minister claimed on November 22 that female morality watchdogs
are citizens who want to <fulfill their religious duties and prohibit
evil.> The last victim of this ostensible religious sense of duty was a
16-year-old schoolgirl, who was on her way to school at the beginning of
October and wasn't wearing a headscarf. According to a source who spoke
with the British newspaper The Guardian, she was attacked by a morality
police officer on the subway. Instead of going to school that day, she
fell into a coma and was taken to hospital. She later died and was
buried at the end of October.
