Tribute to KIAN PIRFALA, 9 years old and victim of the Islamic Republic's savagery 10 years ago. Update December 23, 2023

Editorial by G. d'A.: Dear reader, as a webmaster also I constantly have to guard the read-ability of the 'Cryfreedom'-outlet and sometimes decisions need to be made to have it be for your convenience and moreso in total support of the women-led revolt in Iran which inevitably will be a grand Victory. Still, choices must be made always and so I've decided to, for now, embed all the actual news about the 'NO-hijab; 'Biological terror attscks against schoolgirls'; 'Iranian journalists under siege'; 'Blinding as a weapon' and 'The hanging spree' as part of the 'Actual news' updates of the Iran 'Woman, Life, Freedom' section. But, if need be and urgent attention and action is needed concerning the above mentioned topics it will get an extra emphasized place as part of the actual news page-layout. Thank you for being a reader and for your support of the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' revolution.

Dear reader, from here on the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' pages menu will look a bit different and this to avoid too many pop-ups ,meaning the underlined period  in yellow tells you in what period you are and click on another underlinded period to go there. However, when needed a certain topic will be in yellow meaning it's a link to go that topic and will open in a new window. If you dissagree about any change feel more than free to let me know what you think at info@cryfreedom.net
This does not count for the  above topics which, when clicked on, will still appear in a pop-up window and for now the 'old' lay-out 'till I worked that all out. Thank you. Gino d'Artali

Locking Up Its Labor Activists
Center for Human Rights in Iran - 16 July 2024
<<Iran Locking Up Its Labor Activists as Worker Demands Grow
Growing Number of Activists Behind Bars for Asking for Their Rights
Islamic Republic in Severe Violation of Its ILO Obligations

Sharifeh Mohammadi
July 17, 2024 - The recent death sentence against female labor activist Sharifeh Mohammadi highlights the dire situation faced by Iran's labor activists, who increasingly find themselves in the crosshairs of the Islamic Republic's repressive apparatus for calling for their rights. Bent on crushing a vocal labor movement, the Iranian authorities are manufacturing serious national security charges against a growing number of these activists in order to sentence them to lengthy prison terms in an escalating campaign of repression over the last few months, according to research by the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI).
Key Findings:
Dozens of labor activists have been summoned, arrested, banned from leaving the country, imprisoned, and denied medical care behind bars just in the last few months. Most seriously, a labor activist and mother of a young son was recently sentenced to death for her peaceful activism.
Workers are imprisoned for peacefully demanding fair wages and safe working conditions. "Workers in Iran are being thrown in prison for years simply for asking for a livable wage or a safe workplace," said Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of CHRI. "The international community must speak out on their behalf and against this grotesque and unlawful abuse of power in Iran, in which no dissent is tolerated."
CHRI calls upon:
The UN to forcefully condemn these abuses and demand that the Iranian authorities immediately release these imprisoned activists and annul the death sentence. Governments worldwide to warn their Iranian counterparts of escalating diplomatic and economic isolation if these abuses continue.
The International Labor Organization (ILO) to communicate to the Iranian authorities its grave concern over Iran's violations of the ILO’s Fundamental Principles, and to issue a public statement of concern if these violations continue. Trade unions worldwide to publicly express solidarity with Iranian workers who are behind bars for actions that other workers around the world can take without risk. The case of Sharifeh Mohammadi illustrates this intensifying repression. Sentenced to death by Branch 1 of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Court in Rasht, she was charged with <armed rebellion> due to alleged ties to a national labor union and an ethnic rights organization-a charge that could result in the death penalty. She has vehemently denied membership in either group. Manufactured national security charges, which also include <propaganda against the state,> <disturbing public opinion,> and forming independent unions <against national security,> are routinely used by the Iranian judiciary against peaceful activists and labor leaders in order to justify harsh sentences. Between March 21, 2024, the beginning of the Iranian New Year, and July 1, 2024, dozens of labor rights activists have been targeted by state intelligence agencies for their peaceful activism, resulting in job termination, summons to court, arrests, mistreatment during detention, bans on leaving the country, and imprisonment or re-incarceration after brief furloughs, in order to prevent them from organizing or voicing their demands publicly. Once in prison, they are frequently denied critical medical care. The Islamic Republic's actions are in severe violation of its obligations under the International Labor Organization's (ILO) Fundamental Principles, to which Iran is a signatory, as well as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), all of which require respect for the right to peacefully protest, to strike, and to independently bargain collectively.
Workers Asking for Fair Wages, Safe Working Conditions
Labor's demands in Iran have long centered on addressing serious and systematic abuses of workers' rights, including:
Firing strikers and imprisoning labor leaders
Unlivable wages, especially given the country’s 45% annual inflation rate
Frequent practice of unpaid work and inability to collect back wages
Unsafe working conditions (Iran has an extraordinarily high work fatality rate)
Refusal to provide full guaranteed benefits such as pensions
Use of temporary contracts and other tactics to undermine workers' rights
During just this March-July 2024 period, workers have held major rallies in at least 14 cities across Iran, according to CHRI's research, seeking unpaid or livable wages. Notably, between June 19 and July 1, 2024, project and contract workers in Iran's critical hydrocarbon sector held strikes in more than 115 oil and gas companies operating in cities including Andimeshk, Kashan, Shiraz, Dehloran, Aran, Bidgol, and Haftjan. To date, more than 9,000 project and contract workers have joined an unofficial national strike campaign aimed at improving their income, gaining job security by eliminating contractors, and obtaining safer working conditions.
Labor Activist Arrests and Detainments Since March 2024
Below is a chronological list of cases during this March-July 2024 period in which the Iranian judiciary has unlawfully prosecuted peaceful labor activists and subjected them to abuse in state custody.>>
