Dear reader, from here on the 'Woman,

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

Sexual rape and torture
NCRI - Womens committee - 25 June 2024 - in Articles, Reference Library,
Women's News
<<Sexual Assault and Rape as a Systematic Tool of Torture in the Mullah
Regime's Prisons
Nika Shakarami
The recent disclosure of documents related to the sexual assault and
subsequent murder of the arrested protester Nika Shakarami, before she
even reached prison, has once again brought the brutality of the
clerical regime's torturers into the spotlight. But is the use of rape
in the mullah regime's prisons limited to the 2022 protests, or have
there been other instances throughout their history? To answer these
questions, and in recognition of the International Day in Support of
Victims of Torture on June 26, we look back 43 years to 1981 and the
beginning of the massive and brutal killings that year. Prisons under
the mullahs' dictatorial rule have always been sites of fierce
confrontation between political prisoners and the government. However,
women and girls who dared challenge the mullahs suffered
disproportionately. From girls as young as 12 to pregnant, elderly, and
even ailing women, they endured physical and systematic sexual violence
at the hands of prison guards and interrogators. Due to the inherent
misogyny, the clerical regime discriminates against women in all fields.
Moreover, it inflicts more intense and violent torture upon women
because of their gender. When faced with resistance from a female
prisoner, the regime resorts to sexual assault to crush their spirit.
Montazeri's Memoirs About the Sexual Assault on Imprisoned Women
Hossein Ali Montazeri, once Khomeini's heir-apparent for 10 years,
published memoirs in December 2000 that exposed shocking facts about the
regime's atrocities. Montazeri acknowledges that the sexual assault of
girls in the regime's prisons was both widespread and systematic. He
recounted how he tried to prevent the execution of female prisoners, but
his words were distorted. He wrote, <Many of those arrested in
connection with the PMOI were girls, and they were executed for the
crime of enmity against God. I conveyed to the judiciary, Evin prison
officials, and others, quoting the Imam (Khomeini), that female PMOI
members should not face execution. I explicitly instructed the judges
not to issue execution orders for these girls. However, my words were
distorted,> and a fabricated version emerged, suggesting, <Don't execute
the girls. First, marry them for one night and then execute them.> In
1986, Hossein Ali Montazeri wrote in a letter addressed to Khomeini, the
mullahs' leader: <Do you know that young girls have been taken by force
(raped) in some prisons of the Islamic Republic? Do you know that it is
common to use sexual profanity when interrogating girls?>
UN Special Representative Reports on Sexual Assault on Political
Prisoners
The systematic rape and sexual assault on women and girls in Iranian
prisons has been an ongoing tragedy. Witnesses and evidence from
executed political prisoners reveal that sexual assault began as early
as the summer of 1981. Shockingly, this violence was not limited to
virgins; all female prisoners, from teenagers to elderly women, suffered
brutal and inhumane treatment. Some female prisoners even took their own
lives out of fear of rape. Many lost their emotional well-being due to
the brutality they endured. The regime's twisted belief that raping
prisoners before execution would prevent <virgin girls from going to
heaven> underscores the severity of these crimes. Reynaldo Galindo Pohl,
the UN Special Representative on human rights in Iran, documented
disturbing cases. In a report to the Human Rights Commission on January
20, 1987, in paragraph 47, he highlighted pregnant women and others who
were raped before execution. Another report on October 13, 1988,
revealed witnesses' accounts of various tortures, including rape, in
paragraph 50. Shockingly, a 60-year-old woman was raped and then
executed. In his report to the Human Rights Commission on January 28,
1993, Professor Galindo Pohl indicated that sexual assault persisted in
the regime's prisons. He noted a prisoner suffering from mental and
nervous disorders due to 12 years of torture, including sexual assault,
remained incarcerated.
Recent Fatwa by Mesbah Yazdi, and an Example from Tabriz Prison
It is crucial to reference the fatwa issued by Mesbah Yazdi. This
prominent reactionary cleric in recent years has unequivocally addressed
the issue of sexual assault in prisons and leaves no room for ambiguity.
It grants interrogators and jailers the power to use any form of
torture, including rape and sexual assault, to extract confessions from
prisoners. According to witness reports, most of the women and girls
tried in Tabriz, northwestern Iran were subjected to unique tortures.
Hossein Mousavi Tabrizi, the Sharia overseer of Tabriz Court at the
time, initially proposed temporary marriages to some of the women and
girls he tried. In response, Sorayya Abolfathi slapped him in the face.
Enraged by Sorayya's bold resistance against his advances, Mousavi
Tabrizi immediately ordered her execution. Sorayya Abolfathi, 20 years
old and pregnant, was executed in 1981 in Tabriz.
Reports Received by the Iranian Resistance
The Iranian Resistance has received numerous reports from the prisons of
Tehran, and many other cities, which prove that the regime's guards used
to rape young girls before executing them to prevent them from going to
heaven. In Tehran, before the 1988 massacre, a 26-year-old victim
conveyed to her sister over the phone: <They tell me that you are the
spoils of war, and they do whatever they want with me.> Her body was not
returned to her family, and IRGC guards visited her family's home with a
box of sweets as a purported dowry. In Shiraz, in 1983, a 21-year-old
victim wrote on her clothes that she had been raped seven times before
her execution. In another incident from Shiraz, an IRGC guard visited
the home of a young woman who supported the PMOI. He brought sweets and
money, introducing himself as the family's <overnight son-in-law> and
informing them that their 20-year-old daughter had been executed the
previous day. In December 1981, in Behshahr, northern Iran, several
guards approached the father of a 20-year-old woman who had been
executed. They presented him with a box of sweets and declared, <We are
your sons-in-law.> In Isfahan, a 17-year-old girl tried to cut her wrist
with a glass when she realized that they were going to rape her before
the execution. They took her to the hospital and after she recovered,
they raped her and then executed her. The callousness of the guards and
interrogators who informed the families about the execution of the girls
becomes even more pronounced here when they inform the families that
their handcuffed child had been raped by the interrogators in prison
before the execution. One can only imagine the extent the families have
suffered.
The Imperative for International Accountability
For over 40 years, the lack of accountability and continued impunity for
perpetrators of rape, torture, and murder of women political prisoners
has encouraged them to commit increasingly widespread and egregious
crimes. During the uprisings of the Iranian people in 2009 and November
2019, numerous narratives and documents emerged detailing the rape of
protesting boys and girls. These reports gained widespread international
media coverage by 2022. Considering these revelations, international
human rights defenders must conduct thorough audits of this government
and prosecute the perpetrators of these heinous acts. Ending the
immunity of those in power who commit such atrocities is essential and
urgent.>>
