Mehran Mahmoudian from Saqqez and Parastoo Ahmadi
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - Sept 24, 2024
<<Sanandaj: Report on the Detention and Uncertain Situation of a Young
Couple
A young Kurdish couple, identified as Mehran Mahmoudian from Saqqez and
Parastoo Ahmadi from Marivan, who is also pregnant, were arrested by the
security agencies of the Islamic Republic of Iran earlier this spring
and remain in detention without any clarity about their situation.
According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human
Rights, 32-year-old Mehran Mahmoudian from Saqqez, along with his
pregnant wife, 27-year-old Parastoo Ahmadi, were arrested by agents of
the Intelligence Department near Saqqez around five months ago. Despite
Parastoo Ahmadi's pregnancy, she has been denied access to medical
services. Hengaw has learned that this young couple, who had previously
resided in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq for several years, were arrested
by the Intelligence Department forces five months ago while en route to
Turkey and have since been denied the right to access legal
representation. Mehran Mahmoudian is currently being held in the
political ward of Sanandaj Central Prison, while Parastoo Ahmadi is
detained in the women's ward of this prison, referred to by the Iranian
Islamic State as the <Center for Correction and Rehabilitation.> >>

Hanieh Tavassoli
Iranwire - September 23, 2024
<<Iranian Actress Faces Unofficial Ban for Supporting 2022 Protests
The Islamic Republic's authorities have unofficially banned an actress
from working in the country after she supported the 2022 protests.
Hanieh Tavassoli, a renowned Iranian film actress who publicly supported
the Woman, Life, Freedom protests, is facing a "prohibition from
acting," according to her lawyer, Maryam Kian Ersi. Ersi said that
Tavassoli has been banned without an official ruling barring her from
work. "Even though my client Hanieh Tavassoli did not have a ruling
banning her from work, she continues to face prohibition from acting,"
Ersi added.
The lawyer did not specify which institution was responsible for the
prohibition.
Tavassoli was among the Iranian cinema figures who voiced support for
the nationwide protests following the death in custody of Mahsa Amini in
September 2022. On the first anniversary of Amini's death, Tavassoli
posted on Instagram, calling Amini a "legend" and stating, "Mahsa is
eternal." Hours after this post, she was arrested. Tavassoli, 44, was
arrested at her home in mid-September 2023 and released on bail the
following day, after speaking out against the government's crackdown on
dissent and expressing solidarity with victims of human rights abuses.
She was charged with "publishing content contrary to reality with the
intention of disturbing the public mind."

Shahryar Baratinya
Iranwire - September 23, 2024
Iranian Political Activist Trapped in Legal Limbo
<<Shahryar Baratinya, an Iranian political activist, has been detained
in Evin Prison for the past 14 months without leave following his
deportation from Türkiye to Iran. He was sentenced to 5 years and 8
months in prison along with a fine. According to a source who spoke with
IranWire, Baratinya had requested the Supreme Court to determine the
appropriate branch to review his case. However, despite more than three
months passing, the court has not issued a decision, leaving him in a
state of legal uncertainty. Baratinya's family has made repeated
attempts to follow up on the matter, but their efforts have been in
vain. They have been informed that the case is still pending, and
despite the usual priority of determining the court's jurisdiction, they
are asked to continue waiting for a resolution. To add to the hardship,
Baratinya's mother is unwell and incapable of making the weekly trips
from Yasuj to Tehran to visit her son. The family has to rent
accommodation in Tehran for these visits, resulting in significant
expenses and enduring the challenging journey through mountainous roads.
Despite Baratinya's circumstances, including his mother's deteriorating
health, the court has not taken any steps to expedite his request for
conditional release, which could provide him with temporary relief.
Baratinya, a political activist and former political prisoner was
deported from Türkiye to Iran on August 3, 2023, and is currently being
held in Ward 209 of Evin Prison. Upon returning to the country from
Europe two years ago, he was detained by the Intelligence Department of
Sanandaj, the capital of Iran’s Kurdistan province, as per the source
speaking to IranWire. After securing his release on a 700-million-toman
($14,000) bail, he illegally crossed the border to Türkiye, where he
lived without a resident permit. Turkish authorities arrested the
activist in Istanbul on June 22, 2023, before transferring him to
Dogubeyazit for deportation.>>

Pezeshkian Must Be Questioned
Center for Human Rights in Iran - Sept 23 2024
<<Iran's President Pezeshkian Must Be Questioned on Human Rights Crisis
at UNGA
Mass Executions, Abuse of Political Prisoners, Severe Violations of
Women's Rights Must Be Addressed
September 23, 2024 - As Member States and journalists prepare to meet
with Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian and other members of his
delegation at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly in New York,
it is crucial to address the severe human rights abuses in the country,
which the UN has now described as "crimes against humanity." "The
president of Iran is free to travel to New York, while his government
keeps thousands behind bars for peacefully criticizing the state’s
repressive policies, including a woman who the world has honored with
the Nobel Peace Prize," said Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of the
Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI). "The world must not allow its
attention to be diverted from the human rights crisis in Iran, or more
women, children and men will remain unjustly imprisoned, face torture,
and be sent to the gallows," Ghaemi added.
We urge all attendees to raise the following issues with the Iranian
delegation:
Rampant executions: Executions have surged to hundreds already just this
year, all without due process, and now including the hanging of peaceful
protesters.
Political prisoners: Activists, protesters and any critics of the state
continue to be imprisoned, tortured, and even sent to their deaths, and
severely abused in prison.
Violations of women's rights: Women face systemic discrimination,
including a new law increasing the punishments for resisting mandatory
hijab, imprisonment and death sentences for advocating for women's
rights, and severe abuse in Iran's prisons.
Persecution of minorities: Ethnic and religious minorities continue to
be discriminated against, and disproportionally executed, arrested and
killed in the streets.
Continuation of hostage taking: Iran continues to abduct foreign/dual
nationals to use as bargaining chips from France, the U.S., Germany,
Sweden, Canada, and elsewhere.
To coincide with Pezeshkian's speech at the UNGA, 47 women political
prisoners from Iran's notorious Evin prison will go on a hunger strike
from 10 PM on September 23rd to 10 PM on September 24th, in a desperate
attempt to call attention to the plight of Iran's political prisoners.
CHRI urges journalists and state representatives to prioritize these
human rights abuses in their discussions with the Iranian leadership.
The human rights crisis in Iran will continue to worsen without
meaningful attention and action by the international community.>>

Prison
Mahboubeh Ramezani and Rahimeh Youssefzadeh, mothers seeking justice for
the victims of the November 2019 protests, have each been sentenced to

second branch of the Revolutionary Court in Shahriar, located in the
western part of Tehran Province, on charges of <propaganda against the

<membership in the group of mothers of the victims of November 2019,>
and six months and one day for <insulting Khamenei,> totaling 18 months
and one day.
A Pattern of Repression
Mahboubeh Ramezani and Rahimeh Youssefzadeh, mothers of the martyrs from
the November 2019 protests, have previously been arrested and
interrogated multiple times by the security and judicial institutions of
the clerical regime. These mothers are relentlessly pursuing justice for
their children, continuing their struggle despite numerous threats and
pressures.
The Lives Cut Short
Pejman Qolipur, born in September 2001, was shot and killed by security
forces on November 26, 2019, in Marlik, a town in Karaj, as a result of
five gunshots. He was less than 18 years old at the time of his death.
Navid Behboudi, born in September 1996, was also killed on the same day

<<Iranian Supreme Court Upholds the Death Sentence of Kurdish Political
Prisoner, Hatem Ozdemir
The death sentence of Hatem Ozdemir, a Kurdish political prisoner from
the Ağrı Province of Kurdistan of Turkey, imprisoned in Urmia Central
Prison, who had previously been sentenced to death for <waging war
against the state,> has been upheld by the Iranian Supreme Court.
According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human
Rights, the death sentence of Hatem Ozdemir, 28, from the Ağrı Province
of Kurdistan of Turkey, who was sentenced to death in May of this year
by Branch 3 of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in Urmia headed
over by Judge <Najafzadeh> for the charge of <waging war against the
state,> has recently been upheld by the Supreme Court after his lawyer's
appeal.
Hatem Ozdemir was arrested on July 2, 2019, along with a group of
members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the border regions of
Chaldoran, after being ambushed by forces from the Hamzeh Seyyed al-Shohada
Base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). During the
shooting and shelling in the region, Ozdemir was wounded and knocked
unconscious by a mortar blast, after which he was arrested and
transferred to the Ramazan Base detention center in Urmia. This
political prisoner, after about 50 days of interrogation and torture at
this detention center, was transferred to Urmia Central Prison on August
19, 2019. On March 9, 2022, after 33 months of temporary detention and
being deprived of the right to access a lawyer, he was sentenced to
death by Branch 1 of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in Khoy for
the charge of <rebellion> and to 5 years of imprisonment for <membership
in a terrorist group.> Following an appeal to the verdict, his case was
referred to the Supreme Court for review. In March 2023, the death
sentence was overturned by Branch 9 of the Supreme Court, presided over
by 'Qasem Mazinani,' and the case was sent back to Branch 3 of the
Revolutionary Court in Urmia for reconsideration. The trial of this
Kurdish political prisoner was held on April 23, 2024, in the
aforementioned branch, and his death sentence was officially
communicated to him in Urmia Prison on May 19.
It should be noted that during this period, despite suffering from
kidney stones and the doctors' recommendations for surgery, this
political prisoner has been deprived of medical treatment.>>

According to informed sources, another part of his case, involving the
charges of <propaganda against the regime,> <disruption of public
order,> and <insulting Khamenei,> has been referred to Branch 4 of the

NCRI - Womens committee - 20 Sept 2024 - in Women's News
<<Final Adoption of Hijab and Chastity Bill Increases Fines
The clerical regime's Guardian Council finally confirmed the Hijab and
Chastity bill on September 18, 2024.
The controversial Hijab and Chastity bill is now ready to be
implemented, marking a decisive step in the government's efforts to
tighten women’s dress code controls. The chair of the Judicial and Legal
Committee of the mullahs’ parliament, Mousa Ghazanfarabadi, emphasized
the bill's importance and urged all government bodies to cooperate in
its enforcement. One of the key changes that stands out is the
substantial increase in fines for those violating the law. Fines will
now be significantly higher, following government approval of raised
penalties. The scope of the Hijab and Chastity bill also extends to
private individuals and vehicles, which has raised concerns about
personal privacy and autonomy. In response to mounting public criticism,
an initial plan to automatically deduct fines from bank accounts was
scrapped. Instead, violators will now have a one-week period to settle
their penalties.
The bill infringes on personal freedoms and disproportionately targets
women. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights stated on
September 1, 2023, in which a group of UN Human Rights Council-appointed
experts slammed Iran's Hijab law. The experts said the bill could amount
to "Gender Apartheid," underscoring the global concern over Iran's
increasingly repressive stance on women's rights. Despite the final
approval, questions remain about how well the government and judiciary
