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.

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 16 July 2024
<<Iranian Authorities Arrest Baloch Man Lacking National Identification
Iranian security forces have arrested Abdulmalek Shahouzehi, a 38-year-old resident of Zabol in Sistan and Baluchestan province. According to a report obtained by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Shahouzehi was taken into custody by Iranian security forces on Saturday, July 13, 2024. As reported by the Baloch Activists Campaign, the Iranian security agencies, in response to the inquiries about the whereabouts of this Shaouzehi by his family, have claimed that following his arrest, he was transferred to a foreign nationals' camp and then to an unknown location in Zahedan. As of the time of this report, there is no information available regarding the reasons for the arrest, the place of detention, and the charges against this Baloch man. The province of Sistan and Baluchestan faces significant issues due to central government policies, which have resulted in thousands of individuals lacking national identification. These individuals are often deprived of essential healthcare and welfare services. Additionally, they are subject to frequent arrests by security agencies and, in some cases, are forcibly relocated to neighboring countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan.>>

Women of Rojhilat demand

Sharifeh Mohammadi
Jinha - Womens News Agency 16 July 2024 - by GILARI GILANI
<<Women of Rojhilat demand unconditional release of Sharifeh Mohammadi
Women of Rojhilat have launched a social media campaign against the death sentence against labor activist Sharifeh Mohammadi, demanding her unconditional release. <The death sentence is not only against her but also all women defending freedom.>
Kermanshah- The death sentence against labor activist Sharifeh Mohammadi, who has been imprisoned in Lakan prison of Rasht, has kept sparking outrage all around the world. Amnesty International, labor unions in Italy, France and Denmark have condemned the death sentence against the activist and demanded the sentence be reversed. Three women activists in Kermanshah, a city of Rojhilat Kurdistan have launched a social media campaign by using the <No to Death Sentence> hashtag, demanding the death sentence against Sharifeh Mohammadi be reversed and her unconditional release. <The death sentence against Sharifeh Mohammadi is a sentence against all women defending freedom,> they said.
'This unjust sentence must be reversed'
<The death sentence against Sharifeh Mohammadi shows the fear of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards the women's movement and labor activists,> said H.G., one of the activists. <As women of Kurdistan, we announce our support for Sharifeh Mohammadi and all women demanding freedom in Gilan province. This unfair sentence showing the scandal in Iran's judicial system should be reversed immediately and the labor activist should be released unconditionally.>
'The death sentence is the government's revenge on the people of Gilan'
<This death sentence given by an Iranian court is a political decision,> said B.K., another activist in Kermanshah. <According to human rights standards and principles, there should not be political prisoners anywhere. The right to peaceful protests and the right to freedom of expression should not be criminalized. The women of Gilan have always been victims of this non-independent and corrupt judicial system. The death sentence against Sharifeh Mohammadi is the government's revenge on the people of Gilan for their participation in the 'Jin, Jiyan, Azadi' uprising. As women of Kurdistan, we will always stand with the women of Gilan.>
'The sentence is against all women defending freedom'
S.Z., an activist in Sanandaj, also condemned the death sentence against Sharifeh Mohammadi. <Sharifeh Mohammadi is not alone. We support her just like we took to the streets of Gilan, Kurdistan and Sistan and Baluchestan province to support the 'Jin, Jiyan, Azadi' uprising. The death sentence against Sharifeh Mohammadi is not only against her but also all women defending freedom. We demand the death sentence against her be reversed and her unconditional release.> >>

Iranwire - 16 July 2024

<<Iran's Anti-Execution Campaign Expands to 11 Prisons on 25th Week
The <No Execution Tuesdays> campaign, a prisoner-led initiative against capital punishment in Iran, has entered its 25th consecutive week. This Tuesday, inmates in Ardabil and Qaimshahr prisons participated in the campaign, expanding its reach to 11 prisons in the country. Prisoners participating in the campaign stage weekly hunger strikes to protest the death penalty and draw domestic and international attention to what they call <inhuman capital punishment.> The campaign's continuation comes in the wake of recent executions carried out by the Islamic Republic's judicial system. According to reliable sources, unnamed prisoners from Ardabil and Qaimshahr prisons have joined the movement this week, expressing solidarity with inmates in other facilities. The campaign now includes participants from various prisons, including Evin, Ghezelhesar, Karaj Central, Khorramabad, Tabriz, Khoi, Naqdeh, Mashhad, and Saqqez. Campaigners are urging both political and non-political prisoners nationwide to join their cause, aiming to elevate <No to Execution> to a national demand. In last week's statement, striking prisoners highlighted a new wave of executions and called for increased domestic and international support for their anti-death penalty stance. The weekly hunger strike began in February this year comprising prisoners from various Iranian jails. The number of executions in Iran reached 853 in 2023, which is the highest recorded since 2015 and marks a 48 percent increase from 2022 in the aftermath of the Woman, Life, Freedom protests. The spike in death penalties has continued into 2024, with at least 95 recorded executions by March 20, according to Amnesty International.>>

NCRI - Womens committee - 12 July 2024 - in Women's News
<<Nasimeh Eslamzehi, Long-term Detention in Limbo in Evin Prison
Nasimeh Eslamzehi, a Baluchi woman and mother of two, has been detained for nearly 11 months in Evin Prison without her fate being determined.
No court sessions have been held to address the accusations against her, which allege involvement with ISIS. During this time, she has not had a single meeting with her husband. Nasimeh Eslamzehi gave birth to her second child in prison. Her first child, who was with them at the time of arrest, has been placed in welfare custody. Efforts by Nasimeh Eslamzehi's family to regain custody of this child have not been successful.
Nasimeh Eslamzehi and her husband were arrested in Sistan and Baluchestan in September 2023. It has been claimed that they were armed at the time of arrest. Following their arrest, they were charged with membership in ISIS and transferred to Evin Prison after their indictment at the Sistan and Baluchestan courthouse. Nasimeh spent approximately three months in solitary confinement in Ward 209 of Evin Prison and another three months in shared cells. The prolonged uncertainty, lack of court hearings, and prevention of visits with her husband are considered violations of her human rights and fair trial procedures.>>
