verdicts have been formally communicated to their lawyers. Both
prisoners were previously charged with various offenses, including
membership in the PMOI, rebellion, moharebeh, <corruption on earth> (efsad
fel-arz), gathering classified information, and colluding against
national security. Mehdi Hasani, 52, from Shahr-e Rey, was arrested on

Fardin Mostafaei, a Kurdish journalist from Saqqez, the manager of the
Telegram channel "Saqqez Rudaw," and a member of the International
Federation of Journalists, was arrested by security forces of the
Islamic Republic of Iran. According to a report received by the Hengaw

authorities. In November 2023, he was summoned by the cyber police
(FATA) in Saqqez for sharing news about local issues on his Telegram
channel. He was questioned over accusations of <spreading false
information and disturbing public opinion,> based on a complaint filed
by the Saqqez governor.
As of this report, there are no further details regarding the reasons
for his arrest, the charges against him, or his current location.

<<Forced Child Marriage Drives Iranian Teen to Self-Immolation
A 17-year-old victim of child marriage attempted self-immolation in
Iran's southeastern city of Iranshahr on Tuesday, local media reported.
The teenager, whose identity remains undisclosed, was rushed to the
hospital in critical condition after setting herself on fire. Local
sources reported that the young girl had been forced into marriage with
a young man a year ago, despite her objections. The formal wedding
ceremony reportedly took place just two weeks before the incident,
following intense pressure from her parents. "This girl had previously
warned her family that she would set herself on fire if they forced her
to marry," a source told Haalvsh news website. According to the latest
report from the Iranian Statistics Center, more than 20,000 marriages
involving girls under 15 years of age were recorded in just nine months

'Hijab-Chastity' Bill
Iranwire - September 18, 2024
<<Iran's Guardian Council Approves 'Hijab-Chastity' Bill
The Guardian Council of the Islamic Republic has approved a
controversial draft law imposing more restrictions on the public
appearance of Iranians. The hardline council has approved the
controversial new bill of <Hijab and Chastity,> according to MP Moussa
Ghazanfarabadi. The 12-member Guardian Council is responsible for
interpreting the constitution and supervising elections, and wields
significant influence by ensuring all laws and policies align with
Islamic principles and the constitution. MP Ghazanfarabadi said that the
Guardian Council has approved the same principles that the parliament
had initially proposed. The bill will now be sent back to the parliament
for formal approval to become a law. It had previously faced objections,
particularly regarding articles 47 to 49, which discussed the extent of
punishments for violations. The bill, presented to parliament on May 24
by the government of Ebrahim Raisi, outlines severe penalties for women
who violate mandatory headscarf rules. Non-compliance with the Islamic
Republic's strict dress code is deemed <nudity.> Offenders could face
fines up to 8 million tomans ($150), with the fines being doubled if not
paid within a month, they could also lose their jobs and be banned from
social media activities for up to one year.
Repeat offenders would face imprisonment from six months to three years.
The <Chastity and Hijab> bill has gained support from some officials of
the Islamic Republic who consider the hijab a <red line.> Detractors
argue that the proposed law focuses on punitive measures, restricts
personal freedoms, and unjustly interferes with individuals' clothing
choices. The controversial bill was drafted following months-long
nationwide protests, sparked by Mahsa Amini's custodial death in 2022,
demanding more freedoms and women's rights. All women in Iran must
conceal their hair with a headscarf and wear loose fitting trousers
under their coats while in public, but a growing number of Iranian women
have appeared in public without head coverings.>>

<<Sudanese journalist condemns death sentences for two women in Iran
Sudanese journalist Madiha Abdalla condemns the death sentences imposed
by Iran on labor activist Sharifeh Mohammadi and journalist Pakhshan
Azizi in Iran and expresses her solidarity with them.
Sudan- Iran sentenced labor activist Sharifeh Mohammadi and journalist
Pakhshan Azizi to death in July 2024. The death sentences have kept
sparking anger all around the world. Many human rights organizations and
activists have released statements condemning the death sentences.
In an interview with NuJINHA, Sudanese journalist Madiha Abdalla
condemned the death sentences imposed by Iran on Sharifeh Mohammadi and
Pakhshan Azizi, expressing her solidarity with them. "The death
sentences are part of the policies pursued by totalitarian,
male-dominated and dictatorial regimes against feminists, women
activists and journalists," she told NuJINHA. "The practices and rights
violations carried out by dictatorial regimes against people fighting
for their rights and freedoms are the same as what the authorities carry
out against women activists and human rights defenders in Sudan," she
added, stressing her solidarity with the campaign launched against the
death sentences imposed on the two women and demanding the abolition of
the death penalty and the immediate release of women activists in Iran.
"I call on all women activists to stand with women in Iran and to
struggle against the attacks of the totalitarian regimes against women
all around the world." >>

<<Iran Arrests Another Relative of Slain 2019 Protester
The Islamic Republic's security forces have arrested a second relative
of Pouya Bakhtiari, a protester killed during the November 2019
protests. Arian Shirpisheh, Bakhtiari's uncle, was taken into custody on
Monday night, according to his family. Mona Bakhtiari, Pouya's sister,
reported on social media that several intelligence agents raided her
uncle's house and arrested Arian Shirpisheh. The officers confiscated
his phone and electronic devices, leaving the family without information
about his current condition or whereabouts. The arrest follows a pattern
of targeting the Bakhtiari family. Last month, another uncle, Mehrdad
Bakhtiari, was violently arrested at his home. That arrest came after he
posted a video showing his brother being beaten at the Revolutionary
Court. The family's ordeal extends further, with both of Pouya's parents
already imprisoned.
The Iranian authorities have sentenced Manouchehr Bakhtiari, Pouya's
father, to 18 years in prison and 74 lashes. He was initially arrested
on April 29, 2021, for seeking justice for his son. Nahid Shirpisheh,
Pouya's mother, is also in prison. Pouya Bakhtiari was fatally shot on

<<Iran Cracks Down on Baha'i Community With Raids and Arrests
The Islamic Republic's security forces raided the homes of several
members of the Baha'i religious minority and arrested three people.
Agents of the Ministry of Intelligence conducted coordinated and
simultaneous raids on the homes of several Baha'i citizens in
northwestern Tabriz on Monday. After searching the houses and
confiscating personal belongings, including mobile phones and computers,
the agents arrested several Baha'i citizens. So far, the arrests of
three individuals - Sina Aghdasi, Azam Azmoudeh, and Iraj Norasteh -
have been confirmed. The agents also raided the homes of Shiva Issa
Khani and Nasim Naemi, but they were not home at the time. Agents from
the Tabriz Intelligence Department covered their faces with masks during
the operation and filmed inside the homes, according to IranWire
sources. The Islamic Republic does not recognize the Baha'i faith, and
its followers have faced systematic discrimination for decades. For more
than four decades, Baha'is have been persecuted in Iran because of their
faith and are often accused of being spies or opposed to the Iranian
government. The Baha'i International Community states that no evidence
has been provided to substantiate these charges. The Iranian government
has intensified its crackdown on members of the Baha'i faith,
imprisoning dozens of them on spurious charges over the past year,
denying them access to higher education and livelihoods, and
confiscating or destroying their personal properties.>>

No to excecutions Tuesdays
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 17 Sept 2024
<<The 34th week of the "No to Executions on Tuesdays" campaign in 21
prisons across the country, honoring the memory of those executed during
the 2022 protests. The "No to Executions on Tuesdays" campaign in its
34th week coincides with the second anniversary of the nationwide
protests in Iran following the tragic killing of Jina Amini on September
16, 2022, by the oppressive forces of the religious dictatorship ruling
Iran. Political prisoners in 21 prisons across the country, on Tuesday,
September 17, honored the memory of all those who lost their lives
during the 2022 protests. In memory of the dozens of protestors who were
executed during and after the protests by the repressive apparatus of
the government, with the aim of intimidating a frustrated population,
political prisoners initiated a hunger strike today. They remembered
individuals such as Mohsen Shekari, Mohammad Mehdi Karami, Mohammad
Hosseini, Majidreza Rahnavard, and many others, including Reza Rasai,
who was recently hanged, deprived of all fundamental rights and without
a fair trial. The "No to Executions on Tuesdays" campaign, aimed at the
abolition of executions and repression, and seeking justice by holding
accountable those responsible for all executions in recent years, was
launched by political and general prisoners in February 2024. It has
since expanded to 21 prisons across the country. On this 34th
consecutive Tuesday, the activists not only went on a hunger strike
against the inhumane punishment of execution but also commemorated all
those who lost their lives in the nationwide protests of 2022,
especially the "martyrs" of the uprising. They expressed their
solidarity and sympathy with all the families seeking justice. The
activists of this campaign highlighted that the number of executions
since the current President of the Islamic Republic took office has
exceeded 170. They issued a serious warning about the situation of those
arrested during the 2022 protests, many of whom now face the death
penalty. They called for more attention from political and human rights
activists, the media, and the general public in Iran to the situation of
these political prisoners from the "Jina" uprising and urged efforts to
stop the execution machine of the ruling religious dictatorship.
Political prisoners participating in the "No to Executions on Tuesdays"
campaign in 21 different prisons, on Tuesday, September 17, went on a
hunger strike for the 34th consecutive week. The participating prisons
include Evin (women's ward, Ward 4, and Ward 8), Ghezel Hesar (Units 3
and 4), Tehran Bozorg , Karaj Central Prison, Khorramabad Prison, Shiraz
Military , Asadabad in Isfahan, Bam in Kerman, Mashhad , Lakan in Rasht,
Qaemshahr , Ardabil , Tabriz , Urmia , Salmas , Khoy , Naqadeh , Saqqez
, Baneh , Marivan , and Kamyaran Prison.
Once again, the activists of this campaign call on all prisoners in
prisons across the country to join the "No to Executions on Tuesdays"
campaign, in the fight for the abolition of executions and to spread
this demand throughout society. They also pointed out the support of 100
former political prisoners and 150 civil and political activists for the
campaign. They repeatedly and humbly ask all human rights organizations,
political groups, unions, civil and political activists, and free media
to place the issue of "No to Executions" at the forefront of their
activities. By supporting this campaign and defending the "right to
life" of individuals, they can help bring about a brighter future for
this land-a future that is free, prosperous, and without oppression or
executions. Such a future can only be achieved through unity and
collective action.

Jinha - Womens News Agency - 17 Sept 2024
<<'We will turn the 21st century into a century of women's freedom'
"We will turn the 21st century into a century of women's freedom," said
the statement released by the Southern Kurdistan Women's Front to mark
the second anniversary of the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" uprising.
News Center- The Southern Kurdistan Women's Front has released a written
statement to mark the second anniversary of the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi"
uprising that sparked in Iran and Rojhilat Kurdistan following the
killing of Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran’s so-called <morality police> in
Tehran.
"Women always struggle against the injustice of the patriarchal system,
its policies and mindset that promote slavery," the statement said. "In
the history of this struggle, women's voices were silenced by tyrannical
governments. Despite all the oppression and obstacles, the voice of
women for freedom shook the whole world. The women and people of Eastern
Kurdistan and Iran never bow to the despotic Iranian regime.
'We vow to strengthen the struggle'
"Women always lead revolutions all around the world. They also led the
"Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" uprising in Eastern Kurdistan and Iran. Women have
the power to canalize their societies into a revolution. We condemn the
executions of women and young people by the Iranian regime and call on
all people demanding freedom all around the world not to remain silent
against executions in Iran and take a serious stand. As the Southern
Kurdistan Women's Front, we vow to strengthen women's struggle for
freedom and to turn the 21st century into a century of women's freedom."
