Pakhshan Azizi
NCRI - Womens committee - 25 July 2024 - in Statements
<<Gathering and Protest of Women Political Prisoners in Evin Prison’s
Women’s Ward
Against the Death Sentence of Political Prisoner Pakhshan Azizi
On Wednesday, July 24, political prisoners in the women's ward of Evin
Prison staged a protest and sit-in in the prison yard following the
death sentence issued for Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish political prisoner.
Political prisoners in Qezelhessar also declared their support and
solidarity with this rightful protest.
The brave women political prisoners in Evin chanted slogans including:
"Death to the dictator", "First and last word, overthrow, overthrow",
"The executioner's noose no longer affects Damavand", "We swear by the
blood of our comrades, we stand until the end"...
The imprisoned women symbolically set fire to a noose in opposition to
executions and chanted: "We stand until the end for the abolition of the
death penalty, death to the execution government". The Women's Committee
of the National Council of Resistance of Iran once again condemns the
death sentences issued by the regime's judiciary courts, especially for
women, and calls on international human rights and women's rights
bodies, particularly the Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran and
the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, to take urgent action
for the annulment of Pakhshan Azizi's death sentence and her release.

<<The Life of Political Prisoner Pakhshan Azizi is in Serious Danger
Death Sentence Issued to Pakhshan Azizi
Political prisoner Pakhshan Azizi, who is held in the women's ward of
Evin Prison, has been sentenced to death by Branch 26 of the
Revolutionary Court of Tehran, and this sentence was issued to her on
July 23, 2024. Previously, she was convicted of Bagh-ye (armed
insurgency) and, since early July, had been deprived of visits and
contact with her family by order of Evin Prison authorities.
Protest by Women in Evin Prison Against the Death Sentence
On Wednesday, July 24, 2024, the female political prisoners in Evin
Prison protested the death sentence of Pakhshan Azizi by staging a
sit-in. The majority of female political prisoners in the women’s ward
with various beliefs collectively protested in the yard of this ward
against the issuance of the death sentence for Pakhshan Azizi. They
announced that from 7 p.m. (Iran time) on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, they
would be in the ward's yard and not return inside for the night. They
chanted in unison:
Death to the dictator
Death to the execution government
From Kurdistan to Gilan, oppression against women
Women's ward of Evin, united and determined, standing until the death
sentence is abolished
Resistance is life, Pakhshan is a free woman
Political Prisoner Pakhshan Azizi
Kurdish journalist Pakhshan Azizi, a former political prisoner, and
Social Work graduate endured over four months of detainment in the
Intelligence Ministry's Ward 209 at Evin Prison. Her relocation to the
Women's Ward at Evin on Monday, December 11, 2023, marked a significant
shift after enduring extensive interrogation without legal counsel or
communication with her family. The transfer of the Kurdish journalist
Pakhshan Azizi followed her arrest on August 4, 2023, in Shahrak-e
Kharrazi, Tehran. This isn't her first encounter with authorities; she
was previously arrested on November 16, 2009, during a Kurdish student
protest at Tehran University, which was staged against the execution of
political prisoners in Kurdistan. Her prior arrest led to her release on
bail on March 19, 2010.>>

Execution Campaign Grows
Iranwire - July 23, 2024
<<Prisoner-Led Anti-Execution Campaign Grows Across Iranian Prisons
The 'No to Execution Tuesdays' campaign, a prisoner-led initiative
protesting capital punishment in Iran, has entered its 26th week with
growing support. The campaign has now expanded to include prisoners from
Urmia, Marivan, Kamyaran, Baneh, and Salmas prisons, according to the
letter received by IranWire from inmates at Ghezel Hesar prison. The
expansion comes amid a sharp increase in death sentences and executions
across the Islamic Republic's prisons over the past few weeks. The
campaign, which began in February, aims to draw domestic and
international attention to what participants describe as a <gross
violation of the right to life> in Iran. In their letter, the
Ghezelhesar prisoners expressed alarm over the execution of more than 10
inmates last week, including two political prisoners. They wrote <While
the government cannot respond to the rightful demands of the people, it
intends to create terror in society by killing and executing prisoners
on various charges, in order to create a roadblock against future
protests and uprisings of the oppressed people.> The campaign includes
participants from various prisons, including Evin, Ghezelhesar, Karaj
Central, Khorramabad, Tabriz, Khoi, Naqdeh, Mashhad, and Saqqez.
Campaigners are urging both political and non-political prisoners
nationwide to join their cause, aiming to elevate <No to Execution> to a
national demand.
The number of executions in Iran reached 853 in 2023, which is the
highest recorded since 2015 and mark a 48 per cent increase from 2022
in the aftermath of the Woman, Life, Freedom protests. The spike in
death penalties has continued into 2024, with at least 95 recorded
executions by March 20, according to Amnesty International.

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 24 July 2024
<<Kurdish political prisoner, Pakhshan Azizi, sentenced to death
Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish journalist, social worker, and political
prisoner currently imprisoned in Evin Prison, has been deprived of the
right to phone calls and family visits. She has been sentenced to death
by the Iranian Judiciary on charges of <rebellion.> According to a
report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Pakhshan
Azizi, a Kurdish political prisoner from Mahabad, has been sentenced to
death by Branch 26 of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran,
presided over by Judge Iman Afshari. She was convicted of <rebellion> on
the charge of <Membership in groups that waged an armed uprising against
the Islamic government, whose leaders are involved in rebellion.>
Additionally, she received a four-year prison sentence on the charge of
being a member of the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK). Her case
hearings were held on May 28 and June 16, 2024. The mentioned verdict
was notified to her lawyers on Tuesday, July 22, 2024. The death
sentence for Pakhshan Azizi was issued amid her prolonged deprivation of
legal representation and family visits. Additionally, her case
proceedings have been conducted through opaque and unjust processes.
Hengaw recently published a letter from Pakhshan Azizi in which she
reported being subjected to multiple instances of torture and
harassment. Additionally, she has been denied the right to visit or call
her family for the past two weeks. On August 4, 2023, Pakhshan Azizi was
arrested by Iranian Intelligence Forces in the Kharazi town of Tehran.
On December 11, 2023, she was transferred from Ward 209 of Evin Prison,
which is known as the Ministry of Intelligence's detention center, to
the women's ward of the same prison. Previously, Hengaw, citing
politically informed sources, reported that several members of Pakhshan
Azizi's family were arrested alongside her but were released after a few
days. It is worth noting that Pakhshan Azizi was arrested on November
16, 2009, during a protest by Kurdish students in Tehran against the
executions of prisoners in Kurdistan. She was subsequently released on
March 19, 2010, after four months in detention, upon posting bail of 100
million Tomans.
Subsequently, Pakhshan Azizi left Iran due to pressure and threats from
Iranian security institutions. During her research on the situation of
women in Iraqi Kurdistan and Syrian Kurdistan, she engaged in social
work to improve their conditions.>>

Hijab Enforcement
NCRI - Womens committee - 25 July 2024 - in Women's News
<<Mandatory Hijab Enforcement Unwavering: Activation of 23,000 Hijab
Patrols
Change in Government Will Not Affect Noor Plan Implementation
In a meeting of the Provincial Security Council in Qazvin, Deputy
Commander of the State Security Force (SSF), Brigadier General Qassem
Rezaei, emphasized that the Noor Plan is non-negotiable and will
continue regardless of changes in government. Noor Plan is the clerical
regime's latest scheme to enforce the mandatory Hijab on Iranian women
and it started in April 2024. Rezaei stated that the SSF is guided by
the law and that addressing visible crimes is an inherent duty of the
police. He highlighted the legal and religious obligations concerning
chastity and hijab, noting that promoting virtue and preventing vice is
a fundamental religious principle that cannot be suspended. (The
state-run Mehr News Agency, July 24, 2024).
23,000 Hijab Patrols
Ahmad Vahidi, the regime’s Interior Minister, reported in the final
session of the government's thirteenth cabinet that 23,000 Hijab Patrols
had been mobilized to positively enforce hijab regulations. (The
state-run Khabar Online, July 24, 2024) Vahidi referred to the
nationwide uprising in 2022 as a <hybrid war,> acknowledging the
extensive <enemy> designs. He claimed that despite these plans, security
agencies successfully suppressed the uprising and prevented similar
incidents in subsequent years. The Noor Plan and the activation of
23,000 hijab patrols reflect the government's extensive efforts to
enforce mandatory hijab on Iranian women. The persistent implementation
of the Noor Plan, irrespective of government changes, and the
mobilization of hijab enforcers indicate that the new president neither
intends nor is able to make any changes regarding the status of women in
Iran and their right to freedom of choice.>>

Amin Jahangiri, a Kurdish resident of Urmia, was arrested two weeks ago
by the security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and transferred
to an unknown location. The violent nature of his arrest has raised

<<Baha'i Farmlands Razed as War Martyr's Mother Protests
An image of an elderly village woman with a stooped figure and a cane
protesting the destruction of Baha'i agricultural lands in Ahmedabad
village was circulated widely in June. She is the mother of one of the
Baha'i "martyrs" from the Iran-Iraq war. According to an IranWire
source, 15 government agents with a large excavator attacked the Baha'i
agricultural lands in Ahmadabad village in northern Mazandaran,
destroying approximately six hectares of rice fields cultivated by
farmers. The agents first moved back and forth with the excavator over
the paddy fields, demolishing them, and then they damaged the river
water passage that irrigated the fields. In the background of the
published videos and pictures, the elderly woman could be seen pleading
with the agents to stop the destruction. She is the mother of Farhad
Zahedi, a Baha'i man killed in the Iran-Iraq war and referred to as a
"martyr." Farhad attained "martyrdom" in March 1987. Last year,
government agents also conducted an illegal operation in Ahmadabad,
fencing off the agricultural lands of the Baha'is.
Detention of Baha'i Citizens in June
Arrests of Baha'i citizens continued in June.
The first incident involved the arrest of a Baha'i woman in Ahvaz.
Thirteen officers from the Ahvaz IRGC Intelligence Organization entered
the location where Sepideh Rashidi and her husband were treating animals
and arrested the woman. No information was provided about the charges
against her. Previously, in February, IRGC intelligence agents searched
her house and confiscated personal belongings, including her computer
and mobile phone. In another incident, a mother and her child were
arrested in Rasht. Agents from the Rasht Intelligence Department raided
the home of Nazila Khanipour and arrested her without presenting a court
order. Simultaneously, officers arrested her son, Vesal Herawi, at his
workplace.
Additionally, a Baha'i citizen named Agah Sadeghi has been detained for
three weeks without clear charges. He was arrested in Bukan along with
his wife, and after a search of their home and confiscation of personal
and religious items, he was taken to an unknown location.
Appeal Courts and New Rulings
A few judicial sentences given to Baha'i citizens were altered last
week. The appeal court in Golestan province slightly reduced the
sentence of Nafiseh Sa'adatiar, a Baha'i woman living in Gorgan.
Initially, the Revolutionary Court of Gorgan sentenced her to one year
of imprisonment and four years of deprivation of social rights for
propaganda against the Islamic Republic. The appeals court upheld the
one-year imprisonment but reduced the deprivation of social rights to
three years. Sa'adatiar and her husband, Pouya Amri, were arrested in
February 2022 and released on bail after a few days. In another case, a
branch of the Khorasan Razavi Court of Appeals acquitted two Baha'i
citizens, Farideh Moradi and Golnoush Nasiri.
Initially, the Revolutionary Court of Mashhad sentenced them to one year
and eight months in prison for charges including <membership in a
group,> <social action with the intention of disrupting the security of
the country,> and <propaganda against the Islamic Republic.> The court
judge barred their lawyer from entering the court session. After
re-examination by the Supreme Judicial Council of Tehran and subsequent
review by the appeals court, both were acquitted of all charges.>>
