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.

Iranwire - July 12, 2024 - by MARYAM DEHKORDI
<<Till Death Do Us Part: The Deadly Cost of Divorce for Iranian Women
Marzieh Gholampour, a woman seeking escape from an unhappy marriage, paid the ultimate price for her desire for freedom. On July 6, her life was cut short by her husband's gunshots, a scene witnessed by their child. The incident is part of a trend in Iran, where women's lives are at risk for wanting to end their marriages. One of the relatives of Marzieh, from Bojnord, Khorasan, reports that she was shot dead by her husband. Marzieh is one of many women who have lost their lives in the past four months for not wanting to continue living with their husbands and for using the legal channels available in the judicial system of the Islamic Republic for separation and divorce. These murders often occur through gunshots and other violent methods. On June 22, news reached IranWire about the murder of a young woman named Neda Amiri, an audiologist in Khorramabad.
Eyewitnesses recounted that while she was working in her office, she was killed by her ex-husband in the middle of the day with eight bullets.
Some local sources attributed the issue to a financial dispute, but a family member of Neda told IranWire: <Neda had a good financial situation and was very diligent and hardworking. <Her ex-husband, who had a bachelor's degree in language, was working until the COVID-19 pandemic, but after the closure of public centers, he did nothing. <Neda was tired of this situation. She gave away her dowry and, in exchange for custody of her child, paid one billion tomans [$17,200] to her ex-husband and got a divorce. <Her ex-husband started threatening and blackmailing her three months ago, demanding more money and threatening to kill her if she did not comply.> According to the informed source, after consulting her lawyer, Neda Amiri sued her ex-husband for threatening to kill her and refused to pay him. <Unfortunately, due to the ineffectiveness of existing laws in addressing violence against women and protecting women under threat, necessary follow-up was not done, and her ex-husband killed her in a heinous way.>
Neda Amiri and her husband had an eight-year-old daughter named Mahak. A source close to Neda's family said: <He didn't even spare the little girl.
Those who knew these two people are still in shock. Mrs. Amiri was one of the hardworking members of the medical staff in Khorramabad.>
In response to the question of why men in societies like Iran do not accept a woman's request for divorce and are even ready to take her life over it, Marzieh Mohebi, a jurist and lawyer, told IranWire:
<In the Islamic Republic, based on the prevailing ideological system and laws, women are seen as part of a man's property. The woman's body is defined as an instrument for satisfying a man's lust. This deeply ingrained misogyny is further intensified by the existing ideological order, which justifies and perpetuates such views in public opinion. Thus, when a woman requests a divorce, it is perceived as an attempt to free herself from the man's property, prompting the man to defend what he sees as his possession, sometimes even to the point of killing the woman.>
Mohebi, founder and director of the non-profit organization <Sora Women Lawyers' Center,> provided free legal representation for women experiencing violence in Razavi Khorasan before leaving Iran. She also noted the widespread use of drugs by men as another reason for the murder of women during separation or after a divorce decree is issued. <These drugs lead to severe suspicions and strange paranoia in men, which is evident in most cases of domestic violence, including the murder of women. However, this issue, like many others, is obscured by the ruling system in Iran.>
According to Mohebi, the Islamic Republic hides the roots of violence to blame women for these issues. <You would not believe it if I told you that when a woman's murder case is opened, the first questions from investigators and crime scene experts are often about whether the husband doubted his wife or if the woman had any relationships outside her marriage. The government's and legislator's assumption is always that the woman was at fault. Similarly, when a woman seeks a divorce, the answer is often that she wanted to avoid family life, was influenced by foreign media, or did not want to fulfil her role as a mother.>
On June 23, Narmin Pirhaman, a mother of two from Chamsoo village in Sanandaj, was killed by her husband Heshmat Kalaei with multiple stab wounds in front of the divorce office. According to the human rights organization Hengaw, Narmin had left their shared house a few months prior due to domestic violence and numerous problems with her husband. On the day of the incident, her husband lured her to the office under the pretence of giving consent for the divorce and killed her with 20 stabs. In May, IranWire reported another case where a 31-year-old woman named Hajar, the mother of two children aged 6 and 13, was killed by her brother in Iranshahr of Sistan and Baluchistan province, for <honor> motives. Hajar had separated from her drug-addicted husband and returned to her father's house. However, her brother considered her divorce disgraceful and constantly fought with her over it. Eventually, Hajar's brother shot her in the head with two bullets and reported his actions to the police. President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian promised during his campaign to promote gender equality from childhood. He also vowed to pursue the women's security bill in the parliament and to remove the second-class view of women in government posts and positions. Marzieh Mohebi emphasizes that the government itself perpetuates violence against women. <In the Islamic Republic, a woman's body is not respected. Women are dragged to the ground in the streets because their hair is visible, their clothes are torn, they are beaten, and they are thrown into unmarked cars with blankets. This conveys to the patriarchal system that a woman's body has no respect, and it is acceptable to hit and kill if it rejects male authority.> Mohebi argues that family laws in the Islamic Republic have strong anti-feminist dimensions. <Even a small percentage of equality and gender justice is not included in these laws. In matters of divorce, men have the exclusive right to divorce women whenever they want. <But when a woman asks for a divorce, she steps into the realm of men's rights, which displeases the legislator.> >>
