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.

<<Iran Detains Four in Bushehr Over Anti-Election Protests
Iranian authorities have detained four individuals in Bushehr province for their alleged involvement in election-related protests. Heyder Sosani, the police commander of Bushehr province, announced the arrests, accusing the group of vandalism and planning attacks on police officers. Sosani said that the suspects were involved in burning <a number of campaign banners> and <writing slogans.> He further alleged that the group <intended to attack and throw Molotov cocktails and set fire to one of the police stations.> The four arrested individuals had previously <participated in riots and had been detained in the past,> the police commander added. Following their arrest, they were reportedly handed over to judicial authorities. These arrests come amid a broader crackdown on election-related dissent in Iran. Earlier, the judiciary of the Islamic Republic announced that it had summoned 100 people and arrested 113 others in the second phase of the presidential election.>>

Women should not be afraid
Jinha - Womens News Agency - July 12 , 2024 - by FARIBA BABAEI
<<'Women should not be afraid of anything'
A female traveler in Kermanshah says that women should not to be afraid of anything, speaking about taboos, discrimination and harassment faced by her.
Kermanshah- In Iran, women are subjected to oppression and violence every day. Although women's rights are restricted in the country, women struggle to overcome limitations set for them. NuJINHA spoke to a female traveler living in Kermanshah about what she faces. Due to security reasons, she asked us to keep her name confidential. <I will not talk about politics but I think keeping my name confidential will be better,> she told us.
She has been unemployed for a long time
The 37-year-old woman loves travelling. She is supported by her family since her family has a good financial situation. <I have a master's degree in climatology. I have been unemployed for a long time and I feel uncomfortable for sitting at home without a job. I logged into Snapchat two or three months before this year's Newroz celebration. Chatting with other people made me feel better, and changed my personal and social life. I do not feel alone anymore.>
'Women gain more confidence'
In Iranian society, people think that only men can travel alone and travelling alone is a taboo for women. <In the past, there was a big difference between the work of men and women. Today, there is no difference. Women gain more confidence. Today, women work in male-dominated industries and occupations across the world. For instance, women drive buses and maybe they drive buses and cars better than men do. I think there is no difference between women and men because they have almost the same abilities.>
She was subjected to harassment
She told us that she had been subjected to verbal harassment while travelling. <Many men, who got on the bus, had good character, respecting me but some of them asked for my mobile number and verbally harassed me. There are such men but eventually they get tired and stop bothering you.>
She concluded her speech by calling on women not to <be afraid of anything. You have the capacity to overcome all challenges. Do not be afraid of anything because you can do whatever you want.> >>

Ramin Khaledi
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 11 July 2024
<<Hengaw Report: Armed Clash in Oshnavieh Results in Civilian and IRGC Casualties
Three days after the armed clash in a border village of Oshnavieh (Shno), Hengaw has obtained new information. According to this information, one civilian has lost their life, another civilian has been injured and detained, and at least three IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) members have been killed or wounded. According to a report received by the Hengaw Human Rights Organization, at 1:00 AM on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, the IRGC Hamza Base forces surrounded a residential house in the village of 'Tazhandareh' in Oshnavieh and demanded the occupants surrender. According to an informed source, members of the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK) who were inside the house refused to surrender to the IRGC forces. Consequently, at 4:30 AM, IRGC forces fired at the house, where several Kolbars (porters) were also present. In this shooting, Ramin Khaledi, 30, from Urmia, was killed instantly. An eyewitness told Hengaw: <After Ramin Khaledi was killed, an exchange of fire between the two sides began and finally ended at 6:00 AM. The IRGC targeted the house with an RPG, also resulting in the death of several horses belonging to the traders and Kolbars.> The eyewitness, whose identity is kept confidential by Hengaw, added that one IRGC member was killed and two others were wounded in the clash. Besides Ramin Khaledi, another civilian was injured and captured by IRGC forces. Several other PJAK guerilla members present in the house managed to escape the area of the clash. Up to the time of this report, neither the IRGC nor the Kurdistan Free Life Party has provided details on the clash and casualties. It is also unclear whether the person captured by the IRGC is a civilian or a PJAK guerrilla. Due to the security status of the region and the establishment of several checkpoints, precise reporting has been difficult over the past three days. In its previous report, Hengaw had stated that Ramin Khaledi, also known as Ramin Shakak, was a Kolbar, for which we apologize to our audience.>>

<<Iran Faces Major Internet Disruptions Despite Govt Assurances
Internet users across Iran are experiencing severe slowdowns and disruptions, despite assurances from Ministry of Communications officials that the issue would be resolved quickly. The problem, which began around 2:30 PM local time on Wednesday, has sparked widespread criticism on social media platforms. Users have been voicing their frustrations over the persistent poor internet performance for several hours. Mohammad Mozafari, an internet expert, wrote on X: <There has been a widespread disruption in the country's internet since around 2:30 PM.> <The presence of simultaneous disruption in different service providers indicates that there is a problem in the Infrastructure Communications Company's service,> he added. Supporting these user reports, Radar Abararvan Data, a monitoring service, has confirmed disruptions in several data centers across the country. In response, the CEO of the Infrastructure Communications Company acknowledged the severity of the situation, stating that there has been an interruption of 40 percent of the international internet input capacity. The official promised a swift resolution, saying, <The decline of the country's communication network will be resolved soon.> However, several hours after this statement, users are reporting that the disruptions persist with no noticeable improvement. This incident comes amid ongoing debates about internet freedom and infrastructure reliability in Iran. The country has a history of internet disruptions, mostly linked to government attempts to control information flow during periods of civil unrest.>>
