Tribute to KIAN PIRFALA, 9 years old and victim of the Islamic Republic's savagery 10 years ago. Update December 23, 2023

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.

Dear reader, from here on the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' pages menu will look a bit different and this to avoid too many pop-ups ,meaning the underlined period  in yellow tells you in what period you are and click on another underlinded period to go there. However, when needed a certain topic will be in yellow meaning it's a link to go that topic and will open in a new window. If you dissagree about any change feel more than free to let me know what you think at info@cryfreedom.net
This does not count for the  above topics which, when clicked on, will still appear in a pop-up window and for now the 'old' lay-out 'till I worked that all out. Thank you. Gino d'Artali

Update April 25, 2024:


Toomaj Salehi
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - April 24, 2024
<<Iranian Judiciary Imposes Death Sentence on Activist Musician Toomaj Salehi
Toomaj Salehi, a protest rapper who was arrested during the Woman, Life, Freedom (Jin, Jiyan, Azadi) Movement, has been sentenced to capital punishment by Branch One of the Isfahan Revolutionary Court on allegations of <corruption on earth.> According to a report obtained by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, Amir Raiesian, one of Toomaj Salehi's defense attorneys, stated in an interview with <Shargh Channel>: <The Isfahan Revolutionary Court, in an unprecedented decision, has not applied the Supreme Court's verdict on Toomaj Salehi's case from 2022, and so by interpreting this ruling as 'Directory Statue' and emphasizing the trial court's independence, sentenced Mr.Salehi to execution on charges of corruption on earth.> Raiesian further stated: <The Isfahan Revolutionary Court considered the allegations of partnership in rebellion, consensus and collusion, propaganda against the government, and incitement to riot as instances of corruption on earth under Article 286 of the Penal Code, and based on these presumptions and emphasizing the authentication of the corruption, it issued a death sentence for Mr. Salehi. This is despite the fact that the same branch had not previously confirmed the authentication of the corruption on earth charge. However, even more strangely, the trial court also considered a supplementary sentence alongside the execution verdict and sentenced Toomaj Salehi to two years of travel ban, ban on artistic activities, and participation in behavioral skill improvement classes held at the Isfahan Judiciary Center.> Salehi had previously been sentenced by the same branch of the court to six years and three months of imprisonment and had been sentenced to a travel ban as supplementary penalties for the allegation of <corruption on earth>. Salehi had been acquitted of the allegations of <insulting Khomeini,> <insulting Khamenei,> and <communicating with hostile states.> After enduring one year and 21 days of imprisonment, 252 days of which were spent in solitary confinement, and overturning the six years and three months of imprisonment sentence by Branch 39 of the Supreme Court, on November 18, 2023, Toomaj Salehi was temporarily released from Isfahan Central Prison pending the completion of his trial proceedings. Salehi was arrested on October 30, 2022, amidst the protests of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in the village of Gerd Bisheh in Gandoman District, Borujen County, Chaharmahal, and Bakhtiari Province. This artist was arrested for the second time on November 30, 2023, by armed security forces in Babol City in a violent manner, along with beatings. Since then, he has been transferred to the Dastgerd detention center in Isfahan city and is currently being held in custody there.>>

Iranwire - 16 April 2024
<<Iranian Prisoners Announce Hunger Strike Over Death Penalty Surge
A large number of political and non-political prisoners in Iranian jails, including those in Ghezelhesar, Evin, and Karaj, have initiated a hunger strike to protest the recent surge in the use of the death penalty.
This action marks the twelfth week of their <No to Execution Tuesdays Campaign.>
Their primary concern is the increased use of the death penalty by the Iranian judicial system.
Recent weeks have seen a rise in the silent executions of non-political prisoners.
Additionally, several inmates have been transferred to solitary confinement in Ghezelhesar and other facilities, seemingly slated for imminent execution. News reports suggest a new wave of repression through harsh death sentences implemented by the judicial and security forces.
Over the past few days, eight prisoners have been executed. According to a report by the Iran Human Rights Organization, the Islamic Republic executed approximately 834 individuals last year.>>

Opinion by Gino d'Artali: In the past week approximately 6 inmates were excecuted after being trialed for drug-related crimes. Now, I as a reporter have to be not only objective but my humanity funded heart has a saying too and for me fact is that narcotics do more harm than thought of and not only and often kills the addicted by using it but moreso does a lot of harm too to the users beloved ones and family. I've seen it in my surroundings and will never forget 'Sjan' (name changed for privacy reasons) whose boyfriend was a dealer and addicted and made her an addict too and so destroyed her life. In short: of course I know the holy Quran says one can only kill another human being out of self-defence but... the question really is if one can defend a drugs-trafficker/-addict when he/she destroys another human beings life by being so? My personal answer and decision: I'll not report anylonger about drugs-related news. I do feel sorry for the ones being so severely being punished for their crimes but still I say: Think before you start with drugs and especially be a positive contributing part of your community.
