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.

Matin Tayebikhah Foumani
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 26 Sept 2024
<<A Report on the Brutal Killing of a Young Woman by Her Husband in Rasht under the Pretext of <Honor>
A man in Rasht brutally murdered his wife, Matin Tayebikhah Foumani, and another man with a cold weapon. His motive for committing the crime has been declared as the so-called <protection of honor.> According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Sunday, September 22, 2024, a 34-year-old woman from Fuman, Gilan Province, named Matin Tayebikhah Foumani, was killed by her husband with multiple stab wounds in their home. A 47-year-old man was also murdered in the same manner at the same location by the perpetrator. The body of Matin Tayebikhah Foumani, who was the mother of two children, was buried today in the 'Chaharbagh' cemetery in her hometown of Fuman. She had been working as a hairdresser in the city of Rasht. According to the government-run Hamshahri Online website, the 39-year-old suspect, an employee of a hospital in Rasht, fled after committing the murders and was arrested hours later. As with many other femicides, the Iranian government media have cited <family and personal disputes" as the motive behind the crime.>>

Narges Mohammadi
Jinha - Womens News Agency - 25 Sept 2024
<<Letter from Narges Mohammadi to UN General Assembly
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi sent a letter to the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, calling on the UN to take urgent action against the Iranian government's rights violations.
News Center- The 79th session of the UN General Assembly and the Summit of the Future took place in New York on September 22, 2024. The leaders at the UN General Assembly session received a letter written from prison by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, calling for the release of political prisoners and an end to the repression of women and civil society in Iran. The letter has been published on the Instagram page of Narges Mohammadi. Narges Mohammedi wrote the following letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the members of the UN General Assembly:
"Two years have passed since the start of the Women, Life, Freedom movement. A civil society movement that has spread throughout Iran. It is a democratic movement whose demands were expressed by the slogan 'Woman, Life, Freedom,' which carried a clear call for democracy and equality in Iran.
'We have been extremely worried in recent days'
As with previous popular uprisings and social movements, the price paid for the active support shown by all sections of the Iranian population, who rose up in solidarity, was brutal repression, which continues to this day. The world is witnessing the massacres, executions, imprisonments and violent, ruthless repression of women in Iran's streets, detention centers and prisons. We have been extremely worried in recent days, with several women being condemned to death including Pakhshan Azizi and Sharifeh Mohammadi.

 Sharifeh Mohammadi and Pakhshan Azizi
The representatives of the Iranian government will be among you at the United Nations General Assembly session. I ask you to urgently call for respect for human rights as a precondition for all negotiations whatever the level, as it is the only possible way to achieve democracy and peace in the Middle East and Iran. It's time for action, and I'm asking you to replace words with concrete, effective measures. I urge you to act forcefully and immediately for an end to the widespread and brutal executions of political prisoners, the release of all political prisoners and an end to the repression of women and civil society in Iran." >>

Navid Mihandoost
Iranwire - September 27, 2024
Iranian Filmmaker Navid Mihandoost's Conditional Release Plea Denied Again
Iranian director and screenwriter Navid Mihandoost's repeated pleas for conditional release have been met with yet another denial, despite having served more than a third of his three-year prison sentence. In an interview with the Emtedad news website, Masoud Keramati, Mihandoost's close friend and fellow filmmaker, expressed disappointment over the decision. He said, "Mihandoost has repeatedly requested to be released from prison with an ankle tag, but his appeals have gone unheeded." Keramati criticized the charges against Mihandoost, describing them as "weak and baseless accusations" that resulted in a three-year prison sentence. He emphasized that the arguments used to convict Mihandoost "could not be cited" as credible evidence. According to Keramati, 16 months have passed since Mihandoost's imprisonment, and the director has made two requests for conditional release. However, the authorities have yet to review these requests. Typically, the judiciary and prison organization process requests for conditional release within two weeks and then forward them to the Ministry of Intelligence. However, Keramati reports that the ministry has not responded to Mihandoost's case. The judiciary initially sentenced the filmmaker in December 2020 to three years and six months in prison for allegedly participating in <propaganda activity against the Islamic Republic> and engaging in actions that harmed national security. A court of appeals confirmed the verdict in February 2021 but reduced Mihandoost's prison term to three years.
Born in 1973, Navid Mihandoost is known for his work in television and cinema. His notable projects include the TV series "Footprint of Breeze," "Glass Wall," and "Maybe It Will Happen to You," as well as the feature film "Whatever God Wants." >>

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - Sept 26, 2024
<<A Report on the Latest Situation of Rafiq Salimi, a Kurdish Labor Activist in Sanandaj Central Prison
Rafiq Salimi, a Kurdish labor activist and one of the detainees of the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, who is imprisoned in Sanandaj Central Prison, had been sentenced to ten years of imprisonment by the second branch of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in this city, presided over by Judge Taqizadeh, on charges of <moharebeh> (waging war against God). His sentence has been reduced to nine years after he submitted to the court's ruling. Since his arrest, he has been deprived of access to medical treatment and the right to leave. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, the 10-year sentence of Rafiq Salimi, a Kurdish labor activist from Sanandaj, has recently been reduced to 9 years after submission to the court's decision. During his detention in the Intelligence Detention Center and Sanandaj Central Prison, he has been deprived of leave and medical treatment, despite suffering from multiple physical disorders. During more than 50 days of detention at the Iranian Intelligence Detention Center in Sanandaj, he was subjected to severe physical and psychological torture. Despite sustaining injuries to his shoulder and ear as a result of the torture, no action was taken to provide him with treatment, either inside or outside the prison. The trial session for Rafiq Salimi's charges was held on July 16, 2023, via video conference, and the second session was postponed for 15 days, to be held on July 31. On April 16, 2023, he was also accused by the second branch of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in Sanandaj, presided over by Judge 'Taqizadeh,' of <creating illegal groups and acting against national security> and <corruption on Earth,> charges that he had denied during the court session. On Monday, November 28, 2022, Rafiq Salimi, along with his son Fouad Salimi, was arrested by the Iranian security forces at his son's workplace and transferred to the Sanandaj Intelligence Detention Center. During this period, they were denied access to a lawyer and meetings with their family.
