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.

Kimia Tarkashvand
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 21 June 2024
<<Obstructing Ambulance Access by Bu-Ali Sina University Security Leads to Death of Kimia Tarkashvand
A female architecture student named Kimia Tarkashvand committed suicide for unknown reasons in the <Dabbagh> female dormitory of Bu-Ali Sina University in Hamedan. Due to the lack of prompt rescue efforts, she lost her life. The university security's 40-minute obstruction of the ambulance's entry resulted in the young student's death. According to a report received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on the evening of Thursday, June 20, 2024, a female student identified as Kimia Tarkashvand from Tuyserkan, a town in Hamedan province, and a fourth-semester architecture student, attempted suicide by ingesting pills in the Dabbagh female dormitory of Bu-Ali Sina University in Hamedan. A student from the university told Hengaw: <The university's security forces prevented the ambulance from entering the female dormitory for 40 minutes. After this delay, the security forces also prevented Kimia's transfer into the ambulance under the pretext of inappropriate clothing. Eventually, after dressing her and with an additional 10-minute delay, the student was transferred into the ambulance, and she died just as she was being transferred.> As of the time of this report, there is no precise information available regarding the reasons for this student's suicide. However, late on Thursday night, university security forces and security personnel surrounded the Dabbagh female dormitory and threatened students against publicizing this news.>>

Honour killings
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 25 June 2024
<<Femicide in Iran: Woman Heinously Murdered Under the Pretext of <Honor> in Sanandaj
In Sanandaj, a woman named Nermin Pirhaman was tragically killed by her husband, who claimed <honor> as the justification for the act. The crime was committed using cold weapons in a particularly brutal manner. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Sunday, June 23, 2024, Nermin Pirhaman, a mother of two from the village of Chamso in Sanandaj, Kurdistan Province, was fatally stabbed by her husband, Heshmat Kalaei, outside the divorce office in the city. She was attacked with 20 stab wounds between Madar Square and Sirous Street.
Hengaw has learned that Nermin Pirhaman had left her husband's home several months prior. On the day of the incident, her husband lured her to the scene under the pretense of agreeing to the divorce. Once there, he fatally attacked her with multiple stab wounds in public. Iranian state media reported the arrest of the perpetrator and, as in many femicide cases, cited <family disputes> as the motive for the crime.>>

<<Iran Bars Reformist Newspaper's Reporters from Election Coverage
Iranian Ministry of Interior has denied press credentials to four journalists from Shargh, a prominent reformist newspaper, just hours after voting began in the country's presidential election. This decision, made without explanation, effectively bars these reporters from covering the election process at the Interior Ministry's election headquarters. The ministry had issued journalists special <election coverage> cards well before the election. However, on the final day of the campaign period, officials abruptly canceled the credentials for reporters from both Shargh and Hammihan newspapers. These press cards are crucial for journalists, allowing them access to the Interior Ministry's election headquarters during voting and vote-counting processes. Without these credentials, reporters cannot directly observe and report on key aspects of the election. Sources told IranWire that the Interior Ministry did not provide a justification for this last-minute decision. The move has raised concerns about press freedom and transparency in Iran's electoral process. Shargh's editor had earlier reported that the newspaper was attempting to regain permission for its reporters to access the election headquarters.>>

<<Iranian Women Barred from Voting for Hijab Violations
As Iran commenced its presidential election on Friday, women without the mandatory hijab or those deemed to be donning <bad hijab> by government standards were denied entry to polling stations, witnesses said. Such enforcement was particularly noted at locations such as the Hosseiniyeh Ershad polling station, where officials reportedly allowed entry only to women wearing the Islamic Republic's standard hijab.
Rahmatullah Begdeli, a cleric and political activist, criticized the approach on X, saying that women with even slightly visible hair were treated inappropriately. He contrasted this with previous parliamentary elections where voting requirements were reportedly more lenient. The strict enforcement marks a shift from past elections when authorities were said to be more accommodating to boost voter turnout.>>

Fatemeh Sepehari, a political prisoner held in Mashhad's Vakilabad prison, has called for a boycott of the upcoming Iranian presidential election. In a statement shared by her brother Asghar Sepehari on X, she declared that <the end point of the Islamic Republic will soon be reached.> She criticized the clerical establishment and said, <We will not participate in your appointment circus.> <You are the most lying people in history, we do not trust you. You are the biggest thieves and embezzlers in society, we will not cooperate with you,> she added. The outspoken pro-democracy advocate was arrested in Mashhad on September 12, 2022, and was sentenced in February this year to a total of 18 years in prison. She faces charges including <propaganda against the regime,> <cooperating with hostile countries,> and <insulting> Ali Khamenei and his predecessor, Ruhollah Khomeini.
She is one of the 14 signatories of a 2019 statement calling for Khamenei's resignation, the abolition of the Islamic Republic, and the establishment of a secular government. <You are the most ruthless rulers of the centuries of history, we will not bear the burden of your guilt. You are the most incompetent managers of any country, take responsibility. We will not assign you,> she wrote.>>

<<'They will repeat': Families of Protest Victims Denounce Iran's Election
In the days leading up to the presidential elections, families of victims of the 2022 protests have been echoing a message with the hashtag <They will repeat.> They are urging the people of Iran not to participate in the election. Among those advocating for non-participation is Fatemeh Heydari, sister of Javad Heydari, who was killed during the protests of 2022. She has been vocal on social media platforms, denouncing election participation with the hashtag. Leila Mahdavi, mother of Siavash Mahmoudi, another victim of the crackdown on the 2022 protests, similarly voices her anguish and resolve against electoral participation, drawing attention to the profound personal losses endured by families like hers. Laden Bazargan, sister of Bijan Bazargan, executed in 1989, also added her voice against the Islamic Republic, highlighting historical grievances and opposition to the Islamic Republic. The situation surrounding the upcoming presidential elections in Iran has intensified with significant repercussions for activists and families of victims from past protests. Civil activists and journalists advocating for a boycott of the elections have faced summons to the Evin Security Prosecutor's Office on charges of <propaganda against the Islamic Republic.> Narges Mohammadi, the imprisoned 2023 Nobel Peace Prize winner, has received an additional year of imprisonment for similar charges related to propaganda against the Islamic Republic. Her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, highlighted the absurdity of accusing his client for urging election boycotts in a context where freedoms are severely restricted. Milad Mohammadi, brother of Shahriar Mohammadi, a victim of the crackdown on the 2022 protests, expressed grave concerns over the intensified pressure on his mother, Mina Soltani. She has been repeatedly contacted and threatened by security agencies due to her vocal opposition to election participation.
Milad Mohammadi shared these developments on social media, denouncing the harassment and psychological pressure inflicted on his family. In explaining the <They will repeat> campaign, Milad Mohammadi emphasized that the repetition refers to the ongoing cycle of state violence and lack of meaningful reforms despite years of protests and demands for change. He criticized the regime's attempts to portray electoral participation as widely supported, dismissing them as <orchestrated shows devoid of legitimacy.> Despite the threats and pressures, Mohammadi affirmed his family's resolve to continue their struggle for <justice and accountability.> >>

Grieving mothers boycott sham elections
NCRI - Womens committee - 27 June 2024 - in Women's News
<<Grieving Mothers of Kurdistan Boycott Sham Presidential Elections: A Powerful Call for Justice and Accountability
In a bold and heartfelt statement, a group of grieving mothers from Kurdistan has publicly announced their boycott of the upcoming sham presidential elections in Iran. These mothers, known for their relentless pursuit of justice, have accused the regime's candidates of being responsible for and complicit in the government’s crimes and killings.
Boycott of the Sham Presidential Elections
The mothers have declared their decision to boycott what they describe as the <theatrical presidential elections> in Iran. They view participation in these elections as a betrayal of their quest for justice.
Condemnation of the Regime
The statement explicitly condemns the Iranian regime, holding it accountable for the widespread execution and direct shooting of young men and women. The mothers assert that thousands of families have been plunged into mourning due to these actions over the recent years.
Demand for Justice
Central to their declaration is the unwavering demand for the trial and punishment of those responsible for the deaths of their children. The mothers vow to continue their fight for justice until those guilty of these crimes are held accountable.
Rejection of the Candidates
The group denounces the regime’s candidates, accusing them of being complicit in the regime’s atrocities. They criticize these candidates for speaking about freedom and improvement in the current situation while being directly involved in the crimes.
Solidarity and Persistence
Emphasizing their resolve, the mothers state that they will not cease their pursuit of justice until their demands are met. They also call upon the people of Kurdistan and freedom-loving Iranians to join their boycott of the elections.
Endorsement of the Justice-Seeking Movement
The statement concludes with a strong endorsement of the justice-seeking movement, underscoring their collective commitment to continue their struggle against the injustices perpetrated by the regime.
The statement signed by 24 families of victims who lost their lives at the hands of the clerical regime, serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice in Iran. The grieving mothers of Kurdistan are among millions of Iranians who have boycotted the regime's fraudulent election and will not participate in it.
Full Text of the Statement:
<To the honorable people of Kurdistan and the freedom-loving people of Iran,
As a collective of grieving and justice-seeking mothers, we will boycott the theatrical presidential elections of Iran. In recent years, the ruling regime in Iran has mourned thousands of families with executions and direct shootings. Thousands of our young sons and daughters have been executed and shot in the streets for protesting inequality, unemployment, oppression, and lack of freedom. Yet, on the eve of these sham elections, the regime's candidates, who are themselves responsible for and partners in these crimes, speak of freedom and improving the current situation. As the grieving mothers of Kurdistan, we will not abandon our quest for justice until we achieve our right to prosecute and punish the criminals who unjustly executed and shot our children. We condemn the ruling regime in Iran as a whole and will not participate in any so-called theatrical elections.
Long live the justice movement,
The grieving mothers of Kurdistan>

<<Iran Sentences 2019 Protest Victim to 31 Months in Prison
A victim of the Islamic Republic's crackdown on the November 2019 protests has now been sentenced to 31 months in prison by the Iranian judiciary.
According to a report from the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Matin Hasani, a resident of Bukan, was recently convicted by Branch 101 of the city's Criminal Court. He faces charges of <inciting or provoking people to fight and kill each other with the intent to disrupt national security> and <propaganda against the Islamic Republic.> The sentencing comes after his court appearance on May 16. The young man's legal troubles began on January 23, when security forces raided his family's home in Bukan and arrested him. After spending a month in Bukan Central Prison, Hasani was temporarily released on February 22 on bail. Hasani's case has drawn attention due to his status as a victim of the November 2019 protests. During the demonstrations, he sustained a severe injury to his left eye from gunfire by Iranian security forces. His ordeal continued in December 2019 when he was arrested by security force agents at a medical center in Tehran while seeking treatment for his eye injury.>>

<<Political Prisoners Protest Iran's Presidential Election
In an act of defiance, political prisoners in Tehran's notorious Evin Prison staged a protest against Iran's upcoming presidential election just one hour after the final debate between candidates ended. The demonstration began in the women's ward, where prisoners chanted slogans such as <Death to the dictator> and <Woman, life, freedom.> The protest lasted approximately 15 minutes and quickly spread to four adjacent men's wards. This latest act of dissent follows a series of statements and messages from political prisoners in recent days, calling for a boycott of the presidential election. Several high-profile detainees, including Ahmadreza Haeri, Narges Mohammadi, Golrokh Iraei, and Mehboubeh Rezaei, have publicly urged Iranians to abstain from voting. The call for a boycott has extended beyond Evin Prison. Javad Lalmohammadi, a political prisoner held in Vakil Abad prison in Mashhad, used a phone call to encourage citizens to refrain from participating in the election. Lalmohammadi said, <Those who saw the unjustly shed blood of Iranian youth, their blinded eyes, and the suffering of political prisoners, yet still participate in the elections, deserve no other adjective than a traitor.> Calls for a boycott come amid growing criticism of the electoral process and concerns about human rights in Iran.
Critics argue that the election lacks genuine choice and does not reflect the people's will. The presidential election is scheduled for June 28. The snap election was necessitated by President Ebrahim Raisi's death in May.>>
