Iranwire - July 30, 2024
<<Women Inmates Launch Hunger Strike to Protest Activist's Death
Sentence
Women political prisoners in Tehran's Evin prison have announced their
intention to go on a hunger strike as part of their ongoing protest
against the death sentence issued to a Kurdish activist. This marks the
second major protest action by these inmates following the announcement
of the death sentence for Pakhshan Azizi. The news of the strike was
shared via jailed human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize awardee
Narges Mohammadi's Instagram page. It said the prisoners would join the
"No Execution Tuesdays" campaign with the hunger strike. On Saturday,
the same prisoners initiated a sit-in protest at Evin prison. Beginning
at 7:00 PM, they chanted slogans demanding the cancellation of the death
penalty for Azizi. The prisoners had previously gathered en masse in the
prison yard to protest against the death sentence. Azizi was convicted
of <membership in groups that waged an armed uprising against the
Islamic government and whose leaders are involved in rebellion.> In
addition to the death sentence, she received a four-year prison term for
alleged membership in the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK). The court
proceedings, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari, took place on May 28
and June 16, 2024.
The verdict was sent to Azizi's lawyers last week.
She is currently held in Tehran's Evin Prison, where she has reportedly
been deprived of phone calls and visitation rights for the past two
weeks. In a letter recently published by the Hengaw Organization for
Human Rights, Azizi cited multiple instances of torture and harassment
during her detention. On August 4, 2023, Iranian Intelligence Forces
arrested her in Tehran's Kharazi town, marking the beginning of her
current ordeal. Azizi's history of activism dates back to at least 2009
when she was arrested during a Kurdish students' protest in Tehran
against executions in Kurdistan.>>

<<Against the Death Penalty: Sit-in of Female Political Prisoners in
Evin
From 7 PM on Saturday, July 27, 2024, a group of female political
prisoners in Evin Prison staged a sit-in to protest the death penalty
and the execution sentences, particularly the death sentence issued for
political prisoner Pakhshan Azizi. This sit-in continued until the early
hours of Sunday, with the prisoners remaining in the prison yard.
Slogans of the Protesters
The female political prisoners participating in this sit-in chanted
slogans such as: "Death to the Execution Regime," "Death to the
Dictator," "No to Execution," "Freedom for Political Prisoners," "You
are a dictator, I am Arash, Fire Responds to Fire," and "Evin Women's
Ward United, Standing Together Until the Death Penalty is Revoked."
Failed Efforts of Prison Authorities
An hour after the sit-in began, the prison’s State Security Force
commander and his deputy went to the prison yard and attempted to end
the protest. However, the female prisoners insisted on their demands
against the death penalty and continued their sit-ins. Last Tuesday, the
"No to Execution" strike, which has been ongoing for months, was also in
effect in various prisons nationwide.>>

On Wednesday, July 24, political prisoners in the women’s ward of Evin
Prison staged a protest and sit-in in the prison yard following the
death sentence issued for Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish political prisoner.
Political prisoners in Qezelhessar also declared their support and
solidarity with this rightful protest. The brave women political
prisoners in Evin chanted slogans including: "Death to the dictator",
"First and last word, overthrow, overthrow", "The executioner's noose no
longer affects Damavand", "We swear by the blood of our comrades, we
stand until the end"... The imprisoned women symbolically set fire to a
noose in opposition to executions and chanted: <We stand until the end

The Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran once
again condemns the death sentences issued by the regime's judiciary
courts, especially for women, and calls on international human rights
and women's rights bodies, particularly the Special Rapporteur on human
rights in Iran and the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, to
take urgent action for the annulment of Pakhshan Azizi's death sentence
and her release.

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 24 July 2024
<<Kurdish political prisoner, Pakhshan Azizi, sentenced to death
Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish journalist, social worker, and political
prisoner currently imprisoned in Evin Prison, has been deprived of the
right to phone calls and family visits. She has been sentenced to death
by the Iranian Judiciary on charges of <rebellion.> According to a
report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Pakhshan
Azizi, a Kurdish political prisoner from Mahabad, has been sentenced to
death by Branch 26 of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran,
presided over by Judge Iman Afshari. She was convicted of <rebellion> on
the charge of <Membership in groups that waged an armed uprising against
the Islamic government, whose leaders are involved in rebellion.>
Additionally, she received a four-year prison sentence on the charge of
being a member of the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK). Her case
hearings were held on May 28 and June 16, 2024. The mentioned verdict
was notified to her lawyers on Tuesday, July 22, 2024. The death
sentence for Pakhshan Azizi was issued amid her prolonged deprivation of
legal representation and family visits. Additionally, her case
proceedings have been conducted through opaque and unjust processes.
Hengaw recently published a letter from Pakhshan Azizi in which she
reported being subjected to multiple instances of torture and
harassment. Additionally, she has been denied the right to visit or call
her family for the past two weeks. On August 4, 2023, Pakhshan Azizi was
arrested by Iranian Intelligence Forces in the Kharazi town of Tehran.
On December 11, 2023, she was transferred from Ward 209 of Evin Prison,
which is known as the Ministry of Intelligence's detention center, to
the women's ward of the same prison. Previously, Hengaw, citing
politically informed sources, reported that several members of Pakhshan
Azizi's family were arrested alongside her but were released after a few
days. It is worth noting that Pakhshan Azizi was arrested on November
16, 2009, during a protest by Kurdish students in Tehran against the
executions of prisoners in Kurdistan. She was subsequently released on
March 19, 2010, after four months in detention, upon posting bail of 100
million Tomans.
Subsequently, Pakhshan Azizi left Iran due to pressure and threats from
Iranian security institutions. During her research on the situation of
women in Iraqi Kurdistan and Syrian Kurdistan, she engaged in social
work to improve their conditions.>>

Iranian security forces in Bukan, have been accused of <rebellion> by
the Iranian Judiciary, with the potential for severe sentences,
including the death penalty. According to a report received by Hengaw
Organization for Human Rights, the three Kurdish religious activists
from Bukan, West Azerbaijan (Urmia) province, Soleyman Adhami, Hossein
Khosravi, and Hiwa Nouri, who were arrested last winter and are
currently held in the central prison of Urmia, have been accused by the
First Branch of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in Urmia of
charges such as <rebellion,> membership in the extremist Islamic group
Ansar al-Sunnah, and <propaganda against the government.> With the
accusation of rebellion against these three Kurdish religious prisoners,
their lives are at risk. Based on such charges, they could potentially
face the death penalty or other severe punishments, including the
amputation of the right hand and left foot. According to an informed
source, these three religious activists were severely tortured by
Iranian intelligence interrogators during their three-month detention at
the Intelligence Detention Center in Urmia to extract forced confessions
against themselves and were deprived of any right to access a lawyer or
meet with their families. These three religious activists were violently
arrested by the Iranian Intelligence forces in Bukan on Monday, January
29, 2024, and transferred to the detention center of this security
agency in Urmia. After three months of detention at the Intelligence

<<Woman hanged in Central Prison of Khorramabad: 5 women executed in
just one week
A woman was among four prisoners hanged on Saturday morning, July 27,
2024, in the Central Prison of Khorramabad, also known as Parsilon.
Khorramabad is the capital of Lorestan Province in western Iran. The
identity of this woman has not been established at the time of this
report. However, the four prisoners were executed on drug-related
charges. The woman put to death at the Central Prison of Khorramabad is
the 15th woman executed in Iran since January 2024. The clerical regime
executed at least five women in just one week from July 21 until July
27. According to statistics compiled by the Women's Committee of the
National Council of Resistance of Iran, with this execution in the
Central Prison of Khorramabad, at least 244 women have been executed in
Iran since 2007.
Record holder of executions of women
The Iranian regime is the world's top record holder of executions of
women.
No government in the world has executed so many women. The list does not
account for the tens of thousands of women executed in Iran on political
grounds. The NCRI Women's Committee previously mentioned that many of
the women executed by the mullahs' regime are themselves victims of
domestic violence against women and have acted in self-defense. An
average of 15 women were executed every year under the former government
in Iran. However, 26 women were executed under Raisi government in 2023,
which is 11 more than the previous average. The NCRI Women's Committee
calls on the United Nations, the European Union, and other relevant
international organizations to take urgent action to save the lives of
those on death row and stop the use of death penalty in Iran.>>

<<Nasrin Hassani Jailed in Violation of the Separation of Crimes
Nasrin Hassani Jailed in Unfavorable Conditions
Nasrin Hassani, a journalist and political prisoner, is being held in
Bojnord Prison without the observance of the crime separation principle.
The Revolutionary and Criminal Courts of Bojnord had previously
sentenced her to one year and seven months in prison. She is the only
female political prisoner in this facility and is detained alongside
inmates convicted of general crimes.
Unsanitary Conditions in Bojnord Prison
Bojnord Prison is essentially a warehouse that houses over 100 inmates
with various offenses. Some of these prisoners have contagious diseases
and, due to the lack of quarantine facilities, are kept alongside other
inmates.
Change in Sentence Status and Re-arrest
Nasrin Hassani's sentence was recently changed to open imprisonment,
allowing her to take leave on Thursdays and Fridays. However, on June
28, 2024, before her leave ended, she was arrested by security forces
and interrogated for publishing content about the presidential
elections. After one day in detention, she was transferred back to
Bojnord Prison, and since then, her open imprisonment status has been
revoked, and her family visits have been restricted.
New Charges Against Nasrin Hassani
Judicial authorities and Bojnord Prison officials are preparing a new
case against her on charges of propaganda against the regime and actions
against national security. Relatives of this political prisoner have
reported that the Bojnord prosecutor visited the prison and threatened
Nasrin Hassani with exile to the city of Khash and execution.
Previous Sentences and Arrests
On November 11, 2023, Nasrin Hassani was sentenced by Branch 103 of the
Bojnord Criminal Court 2 to seven months in prison for spreading false
information and fined one million Tomans for not observing the Islamic
dress code in public. In December 2023, Branch 1 of the Bojnord
Revolutionary Court sentenced her to one year for <propaganda activities
against the Islamic Republic through posting photos and videos on social
media.> This sentence was later upheld by Branch 2 of the North Khorasan
Province Court of Appeals. On February 4, 2024, Nasrin Hassani was
detained and transferred to Bojnord Prison after reporting to Branch 2
of the Criminal Enforcement Office of the Bojnord Public and
Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office to serve her sentence. The charge
against her was spreading false information through social media. Before
entering the prison, she had declared in a message to the public, "I
stand by my freedom-loving ideals." >>
