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.

Abdullah Qanbari-Vand and Mahmoud Qanbari-Vand
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 10 Sept 2024
<<Piranshahr: Abdullah and Mahmoud Qanbari-Vand, Kurdish Detainees of "Women, Life, Freedom" Movement, Arrested to Serve Prison Term
Abdullah Qanbari-Vand and Mahmoud Qanbari-Vand, two disabled Kurdish brothers from Piranshahr, West Azerbaijan (Urmia) and detainees from the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement, were arrested and sent to Naqadeh prison to serve their prison sentences of six years and seven months.
According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Saturday, September 7, 2024, the two disabled Kurdish brothers, Abdullah Qanbari-Vand, aged 51, and Mahmoud Qanbari-Vand, aged 48, were arrested in Piranshahr to serve their six years and seven months prison sentences and were transferred to the central prison in Naqadeh. According to informed sources, a few days before being transferred to Naqadeh prison, Mahmoud Qanbari was hospitalized at Imam Hospital in Piranshahr due to a severe infection in his amputated right leg from the ankle. Abdullah Qanbari-Vand also suffers from chronic high blood pressure. These two Kurdish civilians were sentenced to 36 months in prison for <membership in the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan> and three years and seven months for <acting against national security,> for a total of six years and seven months of imprisonment. However, according to the law of sentence aggregation, the maximum sentence of three years and seven months applies to each of them, with one-third of the sentence suspended for four years. It should be noted that these two individuals were previously accused of making Molotov cocktails and homemade weapons, arrested, and subsequently sentenced to prison. However, due to a lack of evidence proving the charges, the sentence was overturned. Nevertheless, they were ultimately sentenced to six years and seven months for other charges, including acting against national security and membership in the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, and were arrested for this new sentence. According to a verdict officially delivered to them on May 14, 2023, Abdullah Qanbari-Vand was sentenced by Branch 102 of the Criminal Court in Piranshahr presided over by Judge Reza Qahramani Saatlou, to six months of imprisonment and a fine of two million rials to the Islamic Republic of Iran's government fund for <participation in the manufacture of 20 homemade Molotov cocktail explosives.> Mahmoud Qanbari-Vand was sentenced by the same court to 15 months and one day for <participation in the manufacture of one shotgun,> seven years, six months, and one day for <participation in the manufacture of two homemade military weapons,> three years, six months, and one day for <possession of three military bullets,> and 15 months and one day for <participation in the manufacture of 20 homemade Molotov cocktail explosives.> According to the sentence aggregation law, the maximum sentence of seven years, six months, and one day applied to him, which was reduced by one degree to four years of imprisonment, with half of the sentence suspended. The two brothers were arrested on January 18, 2023, during a raid by approximately 25 Iranian government forces on their family home in Piranshahr and transferred to the Iranian Intelligence Detention Center in Urmia, then to Naqadeh prison. The forces created fear and seized the mobile phones of the family members. During their interrogation, Abdullah and Mahmoud Qanbari-Vand were severely tortured by Iranian security forces to obtain forced confessions. They were temporarily released from Naqadeh prison on heavy bail of 15 billion tomans until the completion of their trial process.>>

Support for the Rights of
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 8 Sept 2024
<<Statement of Support for the Rights of Kurdish Iranian Activists and Political Refugees in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region
The Platform of Kurdish Human Rights Monitoring in Iran, which includes Hengaw and five other organizations, condemns the forced relocation of certain Kurdish political parties in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, as well as the recent extradition of a Kurdish political refugee to Iran. The platform expresses serious concern over these actions, calling for the protection and safeguarding of refugees’ rights and adherence to international human rights principles.
The full text of the statement is as follows:
September 7, 2024
We, the undersigned organizations of this statement, express our deep concern about the alarming and dangerous situation of political refugees, members of Kurdish Iranian political parties, and their families residing in the Iraqi Kurdistan region. These individuals have recently been forcibly and under pressure relocated from their homes in Zergwez, near the city of Sulaymaniyah, to a camp in the Sourdash district, within the federal region of Iraqi Kurdistan.
This relocation, which follows a security agreement between the governments of Iraq and Iran, raises serious concerns about the protection of their fundamental rights as civilians and political refugees.
We reaffirm that these refugees and their families, in accordance with international law, especially the Geneva Convention relating to the status of refugees, have the right to protection, a dignified life, and respect for their personal integrity.
We strongly condemn the handover of Behzad Khosravi, a Kurdish refugee and member of a Kurdish party, to Iranian authorities by the security services of Sulaymaniyah. We also express our concern for his well-being.
The situation of Kurdish Iranian refugees and political activists in the Kurdistan region requires urgent intervention. It is imperative not only to protect their rights but also to ensure that they are not used as pawns in political games or regional security agreements.
As a platform of non-governmental organizations monitoring Kurdish human rights in Iran, we urgently call upon the Iraqi government, the authorities of the Kurdistan region, and the relevant stakeholders to:
Ensure the safety and protection of all civilians, especially women and children, displaced to the Sourdash camp. It is crucial that their basic rights are respected and safeguarded in this new camp.
Provide international protection to members of Kurdish Iranian political parties and their families, as political refugees, against any threats to their physical or psychological safety. We urge the authorities to respect their status as political refugees and to ensure that they are not endangered due to security agreements.
Urge all relevant parties, particularly the security agencies of the Kurdistan region, to treat these refugees responsibly and to respect their human rights and dignity.
We reaffirm our support for the civilian population and Kurdish political refugees who have been forced to seek refuge in the Kurdistan region due to pressure from Iran. We will continue to closely monitor the situation of those displaced in the Sourdash camp and maintain communication with international organizations.
