Tribute to KIAN PIRFALA, 9 years old and victim of the Islamic Republic's savagery 10 years ago.

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.

As part of the ongoing wave of arrests of individuals in Kurdistan ahead of the second anniversary of the state murder of Jina Amini, Zaniar Afsari, a Kurdish individual from Marivan, was handed over to the intelligence agency after his family was threatened that his brother would be killed if they did not turn Zaniar in.

Sources familiar with the case reported that on Wednesday, the family was summoned to the intelligence office, where they were told that for Kamran Afsari’s release, his brother Zaniar had to be handed over. A member of the intelligence agency, with the surname Mohammadi (Yousefzadeh), threatened the family that if they did not hand over Zaniar, Kamran would be killed.

He was released the following day after threats were made and Zaniar was handed over. It is worth noting that during Kamran Afsari’s arrest, a member of the intelligence forces, with the surname Yousefzadeh, assaulted Kamran's mother and struck her head with the butt of a gun.

Jinas' and our Victory is near!
Jinha - Womens News Agency - Sept. 13, 2024 - by MASUME PARIZAD
<<Women in Tehran: We will never return to the pre-revolutionary uprising
"We will never return to the pre-revolutionary uprising" women in Tehran told NuJINHA, speaking about the second anniversary of the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" uprising that sparked in Iran following the killing of Jina Mahsa.
Tehran- On September 13, 2022, Jina Mahsa Amini was arrested by Iran's so-called <morality police> in Tehran for <improperly wearing the hijab>. On September 16, 2022, she died in hospital from the injuries. Women attending the funeral of Jina Mahsa Amini chanted the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi (Women, Life, Freedom)" slogan, starting an uprising that spread across Iran and Rojhilat Kurdistan (Eastern Kurdistan or Iranian Kurdistan). The uprising led by women echoed all over the world. As the second anniversary of the uprising is approaching, NuJINHA spoke to some women in Tehran about the uprising.
'Women keep resisting'
"We will never return to the pre-revolutionary uprising," said Samane Afroz, a human rights defender in Tehran, stressing that what happened in 2022 was the beginning of a never-ending revolutionary uprising to get rid of oppression and violence against women. "Even though the government escalates its repression and the women's revolutionary uprising seems to have ended, everyone should know that women and girls keep resisting despite restrictions and oppression. The presence of unveiled women in public spaces is one of the gains achieved by women. Women demanding freedom refuse the compulsory hijab laws."
'The government uses violence and arrests against protesters'
"The government uses violence and arrests against protesters," said Bahar Bayati, one of the women who were arrested for participating in street protests in Tehran. "They (Iranian authorities) do not want the voices of civil and political movements to be heard. However, the movements continue their resistance by making their voices heard all around the world on social media platforms. The revolutionary uprising led by women demanding freedom against the compulsory hijab is an uprising aimed at breaking the chains of the totalitarian religious government."
An unprecedented popular uprising
The "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" revolutionary uprising emerged following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini, said sociologist Ziba Eskandrian. "It was an unprecedented popular uprising. The uprising based on the ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadî’ philosophy revealed the structural weaknesses of the government. This revolution is actually a super revolution that shows the values of the young generation that challenges traditional, religious, patriarchal, discriminatory and authoritarian norms. Although the government escalates its repression, the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" uprising has many political and cultural impacts. We know we will achieve victory."
'The revolution continues'
"No one knows what the future of the revolutionary uprising will be or when it will prevail," said Rozhin Naghdar, another woman in Tehran. "We are on the second anniversary of the revolution and the revolution continues. The "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" revolution paves the way for the next uprisings for freedom." >>

<<Delal Botan: Built-up anger started the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" revolution
"The anger and hatred that were built up against the government turned into a revolutionary uprising," said Delal Botan of the HPJ, pointing to the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" uprising that started in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan.
News Center- In an interview with NuJINHA, Delal Botan, member of the East Kurdistan Women's Defense Units (HPJ) commented on the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" uprising that started in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran's so-called <morality police> on September 16, 2022.
The "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" revolution did not emerge from just a headscarf or a strand of hair, Delal Botan said. "The anger and hatred that were built up against the government turned into a revolutionary uprising. This anger was no longer an ordinary uprising. When we looked at people's faces, we could see how angry they were about the oppression inflicted against them by the government for years. Years of oppression suddenly exploded like a bomb, and women led this explosion."
'A feeling of excitement and search arose inside us'
Speaking about the first moments of the uprising, Delal Botan said, "In the first days, there were not many protests in our region. We were three friends at school and decided to attend the protests. Although we felt fear and hesitation, we chanted our slogans. Slowly, our other friends joined us. We chanted the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" slogan, which we did not really know what it meant at first. During the protests, a feeling of excitement and search arose inside us and we began to ask questions such as "Women means life, why do we not have this life?" A movement that emphasizes the importance of women and women's thoughts exists. A life based on the ideology and philosophy of leader Apo (Abdullah Ocalan) led me to participate in the struggle for freedom."
'Always make great efforts for your existence'
At the end of her speech, Delal Botan called on women and young people to "always make great efforts for your existence and freedom. You are strong and there is still a long way to go. Leader Apo says, 'don't betray your dreams, and fight for freedom'.">>

Women in Rojhilat and Iran have released a joint statement, announcing that they will join the general strike to be staged on September 16, the anniversary of the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini.
News Center- Women in Iran and Rojhilat (Eastern Kurdistan or Iranian Kurdistan) are getting ready to take to the streets on September 16, on the second anniversary of the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran's so-called <morality police> in Tehran. Since political parties, civil society organizations and human rights activists in Rojhilat Kurdistan called for a general strike on September 16, many organizations and activists have announced that they will join the strike.
Women in Iran and Rojhilat have released a written statement, announcing that they will join the strike.
"We have a duty to continue our struggle and follow the path of the martyrs,” the statement said. “On the second anniversary of the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini, we will take to the streets in order to tell the Islamic Republic of Iran what our revolution and resistance are. There are fighters at every home in Kurdistan. The second anniversary of the ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadi’ uprising led by women is approaching. We shocked the mullah regime by organizing a march to condemn the killing of Jina Amini. The unity and solidarity of freedom-loving women in Kurdistan will stand against the executions, oppression and crimes of the Iranian regime. On the second anniversary of the Jin, Jiyan, Azadi revolution, we will visit the graves of our martyrs to honor their memory. We announce that we will join the general strike that will be staged on September 16." >>

Mothers of martyrs
Jinha - Womens News Agency - Sept. 12, 2024 - PELIN NUPELDA
<<'Mothers of martyrs do not accept the occupation'
"As mothers of martyrs, we do not accept either the conspiracy or the occupation. We will resist and struggle to the end," said the women of the Council of Martyrs' Families in Qamishlo.
Qamishlo- The Turkish state has intensified its attacks on North and East Syria, violating international conventions and laws. Those who suffer the most from these attacks are the civilians who are subjected to the ongoing Turkish attacks. NuJINHA spoke to the members of the Council of Martyrs' Families in Qamishlo, a city in northeastern Syria.
'The attacks are carried out with the support of the KDP'
At the beginning of her speech, Xeyriye Hisen Xelef condemned the ongoing Turkish attacks on North and East Syria. "The Turkish state carries out brutal attacks in Rojava and other regions, openly killing civilians. Everyone remains silent against these attacks as if nothing happens. Children, women and displaced civilians are targeted by the Turkish attacks. The Turkish state attacks not only Rojava but also Southern Kurdistan (Iraqi Kurdistan). Every day, we see how attacks are carried out against our people and freedom fighters in cooperation with the KDP (Kurdistan Democratic Party). The attacks are carried out with the support of the KDP. The Turkish state uses chemical weapons in Kurdistan, displacing and killing civilians."
'We will not bow down to the occupation'
As Kurds, we need unity to resist the occupation, Xeyriye Hisen Xelef emphasized. "The Turkish state attacks everywhere and this shows the weakness and collapse of the Turkish state. As mothers of martyrs and the Kurdish people, we will not bow down to the occupation. The attacks cannot break our will. As the Kurdish people, we should rise against the attacks. All people demanding freedom and human rights organizations should take a stand against the occupation and attacks of the Turkish state."
'The attacks target the will of women and the Kurdish people'
"The countries that support the Turkish state do not want the Kurdish people to have their rights," said Fadya Sileman, another member of the council. "Kurds are subjected to Turkish attacks every day. We grew up in the midst of displacement, oppression and difficult living conditions due to the attacks, occupations and lootings of the Turkish state. Due to the Turkish attacks, many children, women and elderly people are deprived of their right to life, losing their arms and legs. The attacks target the will of women and the Kurdish people."
'We will resist and struggle'
We will resist and struggle to the end, Fadya Sileman stressed, adding, "There is an international hypocrisy and betrayal against us, Kurds. We know that the states that act as if they are on our side also support the Turkish state. Neither history nor the Kurdish people will forget this betrayal. As mothers of martyrs, we do not accept either the conspiracy or the occupation. We will resist and struggle to the end and follow in the footsteps of our martyrs.">>

Since the call, many organizations and movements have released statements, expressing that they will join the strike. "September 16 marks the anniversary of the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini and the beginning of the uprising in which our loved ones and children sacrificed their lives for victory," said the statement released by the Kurdistan Mothers for Justice. "On the eve of the second anniversary, we express our support to the call of Kurdish activists and call on all families to support each other and visit the graves of our loved ones on September 16. We call on the people of Kurdistan to stay at home, close their shops and not go to work on September 16."

Call for a general strike
20 civil society organizations have also published a joint statement, announcing that they will join the strike. "Since the killing of Jina Amini, people of Rojhilat and Iran have been subjected to many human rights violations. Arbitrary arrests, torture, executions, and oppression have become common practices of the Iranian government's security forces," the statement said. "Despite international condemnation, Iranian authorities continue to oppress Kurds and other opponents. A common action and attitude is a must now. On the eve of the second anniversary of the killing of Jina, political parties, civil society organizations and human rights activists have called for a general strike across Eastern Kurdistan on September 16, 2024. We express our support to the call and call on all people in Kurdistan and Iran to join the strike. We also call on the international community to pay more attention to the rights violations against the Kurdish people in Iran." >>
