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.

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 23 June 2024
<<Three labor activists sentenced to 6 years in prison by Iranian Judiciary
Morteza Seydi, Mohammad Iran-Nejad, and Nasrollah Amirloo, labor activists, have been sentenced to a total of six years in prison by the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Morteza Seydi, a Kurdish labor activist from Kamyaran, Mohammad Iran-Nejad, and Nasrollah Amirloo were recently sentenced by Branch 2 of the Shahriar Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Bahram Panahi, to two years of imprisonment each on charges of <forming a group with the intent to disrupt security.> In total, they have been sentenced to six years in prison. The hearing for these labor activists was held on April 25, 2023, and their prison sentences were officially communicated on Saturday, June 22, 2024.

NCRI - Womens committee - 23 June 2024 - in Women's News
<<Maryam Akbari Monfared: Iranian Political Prisoner Faces Property Confiscation as Sentence Nears End
Political prisoner Maryam Akbari Monfared is facing a daunting new challenge as authorities move to seize her family's property, reports the Sharq News Agency. The Executive Headquarters of Farman-e Imam (Khomeini's Order) has launched a bid to confiscate her assets. This development comes as Maryam Akbari Monfared nears the end of a 15-year prison sentence set to conclude in December 2024. Her defense lawyer, Mr. Hossein Taj, shared his concerns:
<By October this year, Mrs. Akbari Monfared will have completed her 15-year imprisonment without a single day of temporary release. In addition to this sentence, she faces an additional 2 years in prison from another case. Recently, yet another new case was filed against her at the request of the Executive Headquarters, invoking Article 49 of the Constitution for ongoing case oversight.>
Mr. Taj elaborated on the grave implications:
<The headquarters has levied serious allegations against Ms. Akbari Monfared's family and relatives, seeking the confiscation of their property in favor of the Imam's Order Implementation Headquarters. This matter has been referred to the 6th branch of the Revolutionary Court, specializing in Article 49 cases. The timeline for trial has yet to be set, with monitoring scheduled to commence in August.>
In response to these developments, her lawyer underscored a fundamental legal principle:
<The principle of 'the personal nature of crimes and punishments,' recognized in jurisprudence, Sharia, international law, and the Iranian Penal Code, stipulates that punishment should be strictly individual and should not extend to relatives. We urge the honorable court to reject the headquarters' claims under Article 49, preserving justice and fairness in the legal process.>

Maryam Akbari Monfareds' family
Maryam Akbari Monfared was born on December 14, 1975, and is the mother of three daughters. She is one of the most resistant female political prisoners who has chosen to live free without bowing down to the mullahs. She was taken to Evin prison <to provide some explanations> at midnight of December 29, 2009, without being able to say goodbye to her daughters. But she never returned home.

Maryam Akbari Monfared and her four siblings
She was incarcerated because she seeks justice for four of her siblings executed in cold blood by the clerical regime in the 1980s. Her sister, Roghiyeh Akbari Monfared, had a little daughter when she was sent to the gallows among the prisoners massacred in the summer of 1988.
Throughout the years she spent behind bars, Maryam Akbari Monfared has always inspired other prisoners. Her heart is as big as an ocean filled with feelings for everyone around her. One of her cellmates, former political prisoner Atena Farghadani, describes her as <a woman whose resistance was a rainbow of hope for all the prisoners.> So, prison authorities sent her to a remote prison to prevent her inspiring others. On March 9, 2021, they abruptly took her away to the Prison of Semnan and abandoned her among ordinary prisoners in violation of the principle of separation of crimes.>>
