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.

Arslan Sohrabi
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 6 Sept 2024
<<Arslan Sohrabi, Kurdish Political Prisoner, Re-Arrested One Month After Release
Arslan Sohrabi (Khodkam), a Kurdish political prisoner from Mahabad, who was released from Urmia Central Prison in July 2024 after serving six years and two months, has recently been arrested again following a summons to the Iranian Intelligence forces in Urmia and transferred back to Urmia Central Prison. According to the report received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Sunday, August 18, 2024, 50-year-old Arslan Sohrabi (Khodkam), a former Kurdish political prisoner from Mahabad, was arrested after being summoned to the Iranian Intelligence forces in Urmia and transferred to the political ward of Urmia Central Prison. Arslan Sohrabi's re-arrest comes after his life sentence was unexpectedly suspended by the Iranian Military Prosecutor's Office in Tehran, without prior notice. The 50-year-old political prisoner had been released from Urmia Central Prison on Friday, July 5, 2024, as announced by prison officials. It is worth mentioning that Arslan Sohrabi was sent on short-term leave on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, after serving five years and ten months and 19 days, in prison. In August 2018, Arslan Sohrabi was sentenced to death by Branch 32 of the Iranian Military Court in Urmia on charges of espionage for the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan. This sentence was later reduced to life imprisonment by invoking Article 20 of the Amnesty and Clemency Commission, and the revised sentence was officially communicated to him on Wednesday, April 14, 2021. On Monday, April 23, 2018, while serving as a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and on a mission in Oshnavieh, Sohrabi was arrested on charges of collaboration with the Democratic Party.>>

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 5 Sept 2024
<<Iran Sentences Two Baha'i Women to Imprisonment and Additional Punishment
Two Baha'i women residing in Rasht, Shiva Kashani-Nejad and Mozhgan Samimi, have been sentenced by the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran to two years and one day in prison, along with additional penalties. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, both Shiva Kashani-nejad and Mozhgan Samimi were sentenced by the 3rd branch of the Rasht Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Mehdi Raskhi, for the charge of educational activities and promoting matters related to the Baha'i faith. In addition to their prison sentences, both women were fined 80 million and 10 thousand tomans each and deprived of their social rights for five years and one day as supplementary punishment. This verdict was communicated to their lawyers on August 17, 2024. Shiva Kashani-nejad and Mozhgan Samimi were arrested in July 2023 during a raid on their home by security forces. During the raid, security forces confiscated personal belongings, including mobile phones, books, and even children's storybooks. It is worth noting that in May of last year, Anisa Sami'yan, the son of Shiva Kashani-nejad, and Wasal Mumtazi, her son-in-law, were sentenced to a total of 9 years and 6 months in prison by the same judge, Mehdi Raskhi, due to their belief in the Baha'i religion.>>

NCRI - Womens committee - 5 Sept 2024 - in Statements
<<Outbreak of a Virus in Women's Ward of Evin Prison and Lack of Medical Care
According to reports, a flu-like virus has recently spread in the women's ward of Evin Prison, infecting a large number of female political prisoners. The condition of some prisoners with underlying diseases has been reported as critical. These include political prisoners Marzieh Farsi, who suffers from cancer, and Fatemeh Ziaii, who has multiple sclerosis. Prison guards have not only failed to provide any medical care to combat this disease but have also failed to provide facilities to quarantine infected patients. The Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran calls on international human rights and women’s rights advocates to take urgent action to release female political prisoners, especially the sick, and to provide them with medical access and treatment.

<<Civilian Dies Due to Torture by Iranian Security Forces in Gilan Gharb
A civilian identified as 'A. M.' lost his life due to torture by the Islamic Republic of Iran's security forces, one day after being detained at the Gilan Gharb police detention center. This individual had been arrested on charges of involvement in the intentional killing of another citizen. According to a report received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, a citizen identified as 'A. M.' was arrested by the Islamic Republic of Iran's security forces and died due to torture in the Gilan Gharb detention center on September 4, just one day after his arrest. The full identity of this individual is currently under investigation. As reported by the state-run IRNA website, Khodr Veysi, the Gilan Gharb Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor, following the news of the detainee's death due to torture, stated: <The deceased suspect, who had a history of multiple criminal offenses and substance abuse, was the main suspect in the intentional murder of another citizen. This individual had been placed under police custody on Tuesday (September 3) by judicial order with appropriate bail.> He also claimed that <Yesterday (September 4), this individual became ill while being transferred for interrogation, and the efforts of the police and hospital emergency personnel to resuscitate him were unsuccessful, leading to his death. Initial investigations of the detention site and an external examination of the body show, contrary to claims made by hostile media, that the body bore no visible signs of injury, and torture is ruled out.> Meanwhile, Hengaw's sources have reported that the individual in question died due to torture by the security forces, only one day after his arrest. This civilian was arrested along with another man and a woman from Gilan Gharb.
According to statistics recorded by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights' Statistics and Documentation Center, including this case, at least eight citizens have died under torture by the Islamic Republic of Iran's security forces since the beginning of 2024.>>

Saeedeh Shafiei
Iranwire - Sept 5, 2024
<<Iranian Journalist Faces Prison Amid Health Issues
Iranian writer and journalist Saeedeh Shafiei is set to begin a three-and-a-half-year prison term at Tehran's notorious Evin prison this Friday, despite ongoing health concerns. The development comes despite an earlier postponement of the sentence due to her health issues. Shafiei said on her X account, "I will be taken to prison for the third time on Friday." The journalist said that her prison sentence had been suspended since March 1. However, she noted that despite no improvement in her health condition, "the new decision of the forensic medicine and judicial authorities is to return me to prison." The journalist added, "This is [my] another birthday in the middle of September and the beginning of my 42nd year." The sentencing stems from a ruling by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari, in September 2024.
Shafiei was charged with, <propaganda against the Islamic Republic,> resulting in seven months and 16 days of imprisonment, and <assembly and collusion,> leading to a three-year and six-month sentence. According to Islamic Penal Codes, the longer sentence will be applicable in her case. She faces additional punishments, including a two-year ban on membership in political and social groups and a two-year travel ban.>>

Suleiman Choupani
Iranwire - Sept 5, 2024
<<Iran Arrests Kurdish Activists Ahead of 2022 Uprising Anniversary
Security forces in Iran's Kurdish-speaking areas have intensified their crackdown on civil activists and families of protest victims as the second anniversary of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement nears. The latest in a string of arrests is Suleiman Choupani, a Kurdish citizen detained without a judicial warrant in Piranshahr on Thursday, according to Kurdistan Human Rights Network. The arrest is part of a broader wave of suppression sweeping across West Azerbaijan province. According to IranWire sources, at least eight civil activists, artists, and family members of those killed during the 2022 uprising have been detained in Kurdish towns. The arrests, carried out without court orders and involving violence, appear to be preemptive measures as the anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death approaches. In 2022, Amini's death after being arrested by Iran's Morality Police sparked the nationwide Woman, Life, Freedom movement.

Jina Amini
Previously reported arrests include Siavash Soltani, son of victim Kobra Sheikheh, and 16-year-old Ramyar Abubakri, brother of another victim of the crackdown on 2022 protests, Zaniar Abubakri. The whereabouts and health status of these detainees remain unknown. A source told IranWire that these arrests are part of a wider suppression campaign targeting dissidents, civil activists, and families seeking justice in West Azerbaijan province.>>
