the women when he visited a university is plain: <give way or
get lost> in 2023.

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

Center for Human Rights in Iran - 17 July 2024
<<Growing Number of Activists Behind Bars for Asking for Their Rights
Islamic Republic in Severe Violation of Its ILO Obligations
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.
Sharifeh Mohammadi
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.
(March 25, 2024) Majid Rezaei, a labor activist, was returned to Evin
Prison after completing a two-week furlough. He was arrested at his home
in Tehran on July 15, 2023, and later transferred to the Greater Tehran
Central Penitentiary (GTCP) and then to Evin Prison. Rezaei was
sentenced to one year in prison by Branch 26 of Iran's Islamic
Revolutionary Court in Tehran for <propaganda against the state> and
ordered to perform four hours of daily community service for three
months and attend eight hours of <emotional and psychological
counseling> at a psychiatric institute. Iranian judges increasingly
detain peaceful activists in psychiatric hospitals without medical cause
as an additional punishment to suppress their activism.
(March 29, 2024) Kamyar Fakour, a labor activist, was returned to Evin
Prison after three months on furlough. He was arrested along with his
wife, Sarvenaz Ahmadi, a journalist and social worker, on November 6,
2023, and charged with <propaganda against the state> and <assembly and
collusion against national security.>
(May 1, 2024) Ramin Karimi, a labor activist, was summoned to the
Ministry of Intelligence office in Sanandaj, Kurdistan province,
interrogated, and warned not to participate in any rallies. Karimi has
previously been interrogated by intelligence agents for his activities.
(June 18, 2024) Reyhaneh Ansarinejad, a labor activist suffering from
rheumatoid arthritis, was transferred from Evin Prison to a hospital in
Tehran in extremely poor health. Ansarinejad, a member of the LUACC, was
arrested on May 12, 2022, and held in solitary confinement in Ward 209
for nearly three months. She was pressured to extract confessions and
released on August 6, 2022, on bail set at 15 billion Iranian rials
($24,590 USD). Rearrested on April 28, 2023, along with other activists,
she was released on bail 10 days later. Tried in Branch 15 of the
Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran on July 17, 2024, Ansarinejad was
sentenced to four years in prison and a two-year ban on leaving the
country, membership in political parties, and online activities.
(June 18, 2024) Davoud Razavi, a board member of the Union of Workers of
the Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company (UWTSBC), was sent from Evin Prison
to a hospital after authorities prevented him from receiving specialized
treatment for serious medical issues. Razavi's gastrointestinal problems
required continuous treatment, but he was repeatedly denied medical
care, a source with detailed knowledge of his case told an Iranian
rights group.
(June 22, 2024) Labor activists Mohammad Irannejad, Nasrollah Amirlou,
and Morteza Saeidi were sentenced to two years in prison by Iran's
Islamic Revolutionary Court in Shahriar, Tehran province, for <forming a
so-called labor union with the intention of disrupting national
security.>
(June 22, 2024) Maziar Seyednejad, a labor activist, was returned to
Evin Prison in Tehran after his furlough ended. He was sentenced to
three years in prison by Branch 15 of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Court
in Tehran for <membership in communist groups> and <propaganda against
the state.>
(June 25, 2024) Reza Shahabi, a board member of the Syndicate of Workers
of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company (SWTSBC), was sent from Evin Prison to
the hospital for ultrasound and blood tests. Shahabi's spinal discs are
in poor condition, requiring urgent surgery, according to a
neurosurgeon. Shahabi went on a hunger strike on July 8, 2024, to
protest the lack of medical care in Evin Prison.
(June 29, 2024) Esmail Gerami, a labor activist, was summoned to Branch
1027 of the Criminal Court in Tehran to appear on July 6 to defend
himself against charges of <disturbing public peace and order> for
organizing rallies by state retirees.
(June 29, 2024) Atefeh Rangriz, a labor and women's rights activist, was
arrested and taken to prison in Shahrood, Semnan province. She was
charged with <forming a group with the intention of disrupting national
security,> <propaganda against the state,> and <publishing falsehoods
online with the intention of disturbing public opinion,> and ultimately
sentenced to two years and seven months in prison for <collaboration and
membership in anti-state groups> and <propaganda against the state.>
Rangriz went on a hunger strike on June 29, 2024.
(June 30, 2024) Farhad Sheikhi, a labor activist, was sentenced to one
year in prison and a two-year ban on leaving the country and living in
Alborz and Tehran provinces. The verdict was issued by Branch 1 of
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Court in Karaj, Alborz province, presided
over by Judge Mousa Asef al-Hossaini. Sheikhi was found guilty of
<propaganda against the state.> He was arrested by security agents on
May 27, 2024, at his home in Hashtgerd, Alborz province, and transferred
to Rajaee-Shahr Prison in Karaj, a source with detailed knowledge of the
case told CHRI. He was released on June 12 after being charged in the
Hashtgerd courthouse, with bail set at 1 billion Iranian rials
(approximately $1,639). Sheikhi had been previously arrested and
convicted for his peaceful labor rights activities and was last released
from prison on February 7, 2023, following a general prisoner amnesty.
Other Notable Cases:
Osman Esmaili, a labor activist imprisoned in Saqqez, Kurdistan
province, was sent on medical furlough on May 25, 2024, after posting
bail. Despite serious health problems, Esmaili had repeatedly been
denied medical treatment since his arrest.
Nasrin (Azam) Khezri Javadi, a founding member of the Retired Social
Security Workers Council, is suffering from several health issues in
Evin Prison. Diagnosed as too ill for incarceration, she has been
serving a five-year sentence since July 1, 2022, on multiple charges and
was sentenced to 74 lashes. Javadi was arrested at an International
Labor Day rally on May 1, 2019, and released eight days later on bail
set at 1 billion Iranian rials ($1,639 USD).>>
