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.

Pakhshan Azizi
Jinha - September 16, 2024
<<Letter from Pakhshan Azizi: The philosophy of Jin, Jiyan, Azadi is a philosophy of life
"The philosophy of Jin, Jiyan, Azadi is a philosophy of life," said Pakhshan Azizi in a letter from Evin prison, marking the second anniversary of the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" uprising in Iran.
News Center- Journalist Pakhshan Azizi, who was sentenced to death on July 23, 2024 and imprisoned in Evin prison, sent a letter from Evin prison on the second anniversary of the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" uprising that sparked in Iran and Rojhilat following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran's so-called <morality police> in Tehran. "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi is a philosophy of life," Pakhshan Azizi said in the letter, vowing to strengthen the women's struggle for freedom.
'The 21st century will be the century of women's revolution'
Pakhshan Azizi pointed to women's leading role in society, stressing that the social role of men should be redefined and there is no happiness for both sexes until gender equality is achieved. "The struggle for gender-based equality is an ethical-political struggle against sexism that has become a tool of governments," her letter said, stressing that the 21st century will be "the century of women's revolution."
'People are determined to ensure freedom'
Under current conditions, redesigning and reforming existing systems is insufficient to ensure freedom, Pakhshan Azizi stressed in her letter. "The systems must be completely changed. Women's Revolution is not an action for reform, but for a radical, theoretical and scientific action. As women, we have common sense and language. We are capable of making radical and comprehensive changes if we fight against the patriarchal mindset together, in solidarity with each other."
'The philosophy of Jin, Jiyan, Azadi is not a philosophy of death but of life'
"Ignoring women is an ideological approach and that a strong ideological struggle should be waged against it," Pakhshan Azizi said, emphasizing that sexism, scientism, religionism and nationalism target the whole society by targeting women. "The philosophy of Jin, Jiyan, Azadi is not a philosophy of death but of life. It is a scientific revolution actualized by Jineology. This philosophy embraced by people must not be allowed to be deflected at any price. For our revolutionary martyrs, we should build a society that creates democratic families, preserves its culture, and has revolutionary consciousness." >>

Iranwire - September 10, 2024
<<Rights Groups Demand Iran Revoke Kurdish Activist's Death Sentence
Dozens of human rights institutions and organizations have urged the Islamic Republic to cancel the death sentence handed down to Pakhshan Azizi, a female Kurdish activist and social worker.
They said the death sentence was a "clear violation" of human rights principles and standards.
In a statement signed by 26 human rights organizations, including the Iran Human Rights Organization and the Abdurrahman Broumand Foundation, they emphasized that the trial process leading to Azizi's sentence was unfair. "We express our deep concern and strong objection to the situation of all political prisoners in the Islamic Republic of Iran who are sentenced to or at risk of being sentenced to death, and we fundamentally oppose this inhumane and cruel punishment for all individuals," they said in a statement. "We strongly condemn the issuance of the Iranian judiciary’s death sentence for Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish woman activist and social aid worker. This sentence is not only a blatant violation of human rights principles and standards, as well as international conventions and treaties, but also a clear manifestation of the systematic repression of freedom of expression and the right to life in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The undersigned human rights organizations demand the revocation of Pakhshan Azizi's death sentence and her immediate and unconditional release. This sentence is not just a threat to the life of a civil and social activist, it is also a clear and unlawful attempt by the Iranian government to retaliate against supporters of the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" (Women, Life, Freedom) uprising, suppress peaceful dissent, and continue the systematic violation of women's rights in Iran," they added.
Azizi's ordeal began on August 4, 2023, when she was arrested by Iranian Intelligence forces in Tehran's Kharazi town. She was initially held in Ward 209 of Evin Prison, known for housing detainees of the Iranian Intelligence Service, and then transferred to the women's ward on December 11, 2023. In 2009, she was arrested during a protest by Kurdish students at Tehran University against the execution of political prisoners in Kurdistan.
After her release in 2010, Azizi left Iran due to persistent pressure and threats from intelligence agencies. She subsequently engaged in social work and research on women's issues in Iraqi and Syrian Kurdistan.>>

No Execution Tuesdays
Iranwire - September 10, 2024
<<'No Execution Tuesdays': Iran's Prisoner-Led Campaign Continues
The "No Execution Tuesdays" campaign, a prisoner-led initiative against capital punishment in Iran, has entered its 33rd consecutive week. The campaign has reached at least 21 prisons across the country this Tuesday. This growth comes as the country approaches the anniversary of the 2022 protests sparked by Mahsa Amini's death in custody. The campaign against executions, led by prisoners who have been going on hunger strike each Tuesday for 33 weeks, has gained support. In the past week alone, 68 Iranian and international human rights organizations have endorsed the campaign. These prisoners, including those in Evin, Qezelhesar, and the Great Tehran Prison, continue to condemn the use of the death penalty and call for an end to it. The weekly hunger strike began in February this year, comprising prisoners from various Iranian jails. The number of executions in Iran reached 853 in 2023, which is the highest recorded since 2015 and marks a 48 percent increase from 2022 in the aftermath of the Woman, Life, Freedom protests. The campaign's continuation comes in the wake of recent executions carried out by the Islamic Republic's judicial system.
The Islamic Republic's authorities executed six more prisoners on Monday. These prisoners were previously sentenced to death for drug-related offenses and were executed in Zahedan Prison.>>

Evin prison
Iranwire - September 10, 2024
<<Political Prisoners in Iran Jail Sew Lips in Desperate Protest
Several political prisoners in Ward 4 of Tehran's Evin Prison sewed their lips shut and began a sit-in on Monday. The prisoners took the extreme measure in response to the prison authorities' refusal to address their demands regarding their poor conditions. This mode of protest has been used by political prisoners in Iran on multiple occasions over the years. It serves as a symbol of resistance against what prisoners claim are illegal detentions and inhumane conditions within the prison system. In July, Mazaher Heydari, a detained member of Iran's Gonabadi Dervish religious minority, sewed both his lips and eyelids shut to protest the failure of judicial officials to release him as promised. Heydari's protest ended with his release on July 10, while he was still hospitalized. Protests have also spread to other areas of Evin Prison. The women's ward has recently witnessed its own demonstration, with three political prisoners - Sarvenaz Ahmadi, Hora Nikbakht, and Parivash Muslimi - launching a hunger strike and refusing medication in protest against their situation.>>

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 9 Sept 2024
<<Twenty-Six Human Rights Organizations Demand Immediate Cancellation of Pakhshan Azizi's Death Sentence
The Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, along with twenty-five other human rights organizations, has issued a joint statement condemning the death sentence of Pakhshan Azizi. In the statement, they collectively demand the immediate and unconditional cancellation of Azizi's death sentence and call for her release.
The full text of the statement is as follows:
Joint Statement of Human Rights Organizations Condemning the Death Sentence of Pakhshan Azizi:
We Demand the Immediate and Unconditional Revocation of Pakhshan Azizi's Death Sentence and Her Release.
We, the undersigned human rights organizations, express our deep concern and strong objection to the situation of all political prisoners in the Islamic Republic of Iran who are sentenced to or at risk of being sentenced to death, and we fundamentally oppose this inhumane and cruel punishment for all individuals. We strongly condemn the issuance of the Iranian judiciary’s death sentence for Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish woman activist and social aid worker. This sentence is not only a blatant violation of human rights principles and standards, as well as international conventions and treaties, but also a clear manifestation of the systematic repression of freedom of expression and the right to life in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Pakhshan Azizi, who has consistently worked to raise public awareness, support women's rights, and achieve social justice both during and after her student years as a social worker, is now facing this cruel punishment due to her efforts in defending basic human rights and fundamental freedoms.
From the very first moments of her arrest, which was accompanied by violence from Islamic Republic security forces, she was subjected to torture-including months of solitary confinement without the right to meet with her family or access to a lawyer—in order to extract forced confessions and fabricate a case against her. The outcome of such a process can never lead to justice, and Pakhshan was later sentenced to death in a completely unfair judicial process, deprived of the fundamental rights that every prisoner should have. As a political prisoner, Pakhshan is charged with "rebellion" and sentenced to the death penalty despite denying any involvement in armed operations. Her lawyers have also clearly stated: "Ms. Azizi not only did not participate in any armed operations, but she was also in Iraq and Syria for seven years. Due to ISIS atrocities, she had to move to refugee camps in the Rojava region of Syria in 2015, where she was helping refugees and victims because she was a social worker. Even in her sentencing, there is no mention of any military operations or conflict involving Ms. Azizi with any government or non-governmental entity in Iran."
The undersigned human rights organizations demand the revocation of Pakhshan Azizi's death sentence and her immediate and unconditional release. This sentence is not just a threat to the life of a civil and social activist, it is also a clear and unlawful attempt by the Iranian government to retaliate against supporters of the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" (Women, Life, Freedom) uprising, suppress peaceful dissent, and continue the systematic violation of women's rights in Iran.
We also call on the international community-the UN, governments worldwide, and human rights organizations-to take immediate and effective action, to express their protest against this unjust death sentence against Ms. Azizi, condemn the executions in Iran that are carried out without due process or fair trials, and to address the severe and widespread violations of human rights by the Islamic Republic government. The global community should use all legal, political, and diplomatic mechanisms and capacities to prevent the issuance and execution of such inhumane sentences by Iran's judiciary.
It is evident that the continued oppressive measures and issuance of heavy sentences, such as the death penalty for political and social activists, perpetuate the cycle of violence and human rights violations and increase the existing multifaceted discrimination and repression in Iran. Therefore, decisive and practical steps must be taken to halt this trend.
The undersigned human rights organizations firmly believe that the judicial process in the Islamic Republic is completely unjust and discriminatory, and therefore all death sentences must be immediately revoked.
While emphasizing the urgent need for the immediate revocation of Pakhshan Azizi's death sentence and all other death sentences in Iran, we call for increased pressure on Iran's judiciary by the global community, international human rights organizations, concerned citizens worldwide, and civil activists inside and outside Iran. Only through the synergy of forces and effective practical measures can we stop the systematic repression and unlawful punishments in Iran, and the Islamic Republic's killing machine.
