Nejat Anvar Hamidi
NCRI - Womens committee - 13 June 2024 - in Women's News
<<Political Prisoner Nejat Anvar Hamidi Deprived of Medical Treatment
The political prisoner Nejat Anvar Hamidi has been denied medical
treatment on the orders of the authorities at Sepidar prison in Ahvaz.
Nejat Anvar Hamidi, who suffers from thyroid dysfunction, high blood
pressure, elevated blood lipids, and chronic headaches, also has
cataracts in both eyes. Due to the lack of medical attention, she has
experienced bleeding from her eyes. Despite her heart disease
necessitating medical treatment and surgery, prison authorities
deliberately prevent her from obtaining sick leave as a form of torture.
Nejat Anvar Hamidi, who is nearly 70 years old and also suffers from
back and knee arthritis, attributes her heart and eye problems to the
harsh prison conditions. She is currently held at Sepidar prison in
Ahvaz. Expert doctors have recommended that she undergo surgery outside
the prison under the care of experienced medical staff. However, both
the prison authorities and the judiciary have opposed her receiving
treatment and surgery outside the prison.
Political prisoner Nejat Anvar Hamidi is 67 and married with a daughter.
She was imprisoned for 28 months during the 1980s for supporting the
People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the main Iranian
opposition force. She and her husband and daughter were arrested for the
second time in 2017. She was interrogated and sentenced to five years
for <membership in dissident groups on the internet> and <propaganda
against the state.> In March 2019, she was called to serve her jail time
in the Sepidar Prison of Ahvaz among ordinary prisoners violating the
principle of separation of crimes. Ms. Anvar Hamidi was later informed
that she and her husband, Akbar Mohammadi, had been sentenced to another
15 years in prison for <membership in the PMOI/MEK> and <propaganda
against the state> by the 4th Branch of the Justice Department of Ahvaz,
while no new charges had been leveled against them.>>

<<Sunni Imam Detained in Iran Without Warrant
Iranian intelligence forces raided the home of a Sunni Muslim cleric in
the city of Zahedan on Monday and took him into custody. According to
reports from Baluch activist groups, Besmellah Khogiani, the imam of the
Sediqi Mosque in Zahedan's Karimabad neighbourhood, was arrested by
agents from the Intelligence Department without being shown an arrest
warrant or informed of the charges against him. His whereabouts remain
unknown after he was taken away to an undisclosed location. Khogiani had
previously been arrested by Iranian security forces, part of a broader
crackdown on Sunni clerics and activists in the Sistan and Baluchistan
province since the eruption of nationwide Woman, Life, Freedom protests.
Several other Sunni clerics in the region as well as Kurdish areas have
also been detained and given harsh sentences in recent months. The
Baluch Activists Campaign, which reported the arrest, quoted a source
saying intelligence agents raided Khogiani's home and apprehended him
without providing any legal justification. No other details about the
reasons for his arrest were available.>>

<<Ghalibaf Appoints Azeri Ally Nikzad as Campaign Manager
Presidential candidate Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has appointed Ali Nikzad
as chief of staff for his campaign. Nikzad, a chameleon-like figure
known for frequently shifting allegiances, was previously a minister in
the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad administration and served on the election staff
of Ebrahim Raisi in 2021. According to analysts, Ghalibaf likely aimed
to achieve two goals by bringing Nikzad into his fold.
First, the appointment counters the rising profile of fellow ethnic
Azeri politician Masoud Pezeshkian from the reformist ranks. Having an
Azeri chief of staff could boost Ghalibaf's credentials among that
influential minority.
Secondly, Nikzad's roots in Iran's conservative heartlands personify the
rural, religious base Ghalibaf is courting.
He Ahmadinejad's cabinet from Ardabil province and held local
administrative roles before that. The 58-year-old Nikzad first emerged
on the national stage overseeing Ahmadinejad's Mehr Housing scheme
during the 2000s oil boom era. After parting ways with the embattled
Ahmadinejad in the 2010s, Nikzad realigned with Raisi and mainstream
conservative fronts. Nikzad's appointment comes amid deep fractures
among Iran's conservative ranks that have intensified ahead of the June
28 presidential vote.>>

<<Crackdown on Dissent Intensifies Ahead of Presidential Polls in Iran
As Iran prepares for its upcoming presidential election, the Islamic
Republic is intensifying its crackdown on dissent through a wave of new
executions and heavy prison sentences. Despite needing to portray a
veneer of legitimacy during the election process, the Islamic Republic
appears equally worried about potential protests or factional rifts
flaring up. Its strategy has been a dual-track approach - allowing some
political theatre around the polls while doubling down on repression.
Last week alone, at least 8 prisoners were executed for various alleged
crimes. Political prisoner Sunni cleric Mohammad Khezrnejad also
received a death sentence for his involvement in the 2022 protests
defending people's rights. Iran accounts for 75 per cent of all
executions carried out globally, making it the world's top practitioner
of capital punishment, according to the Human Rights Council. In
response, prisoners across multiple Iranian jails have launched a hunger
strike campaign every Tuesday for the past 20 weeks. Inmates in the
women's wards and units of Evin, Ghezel Hesar, Karaj, Khorramabad, Khoi,
Naqadeh, Mashhad and Saqqez prisons are demanding an end to executions,
including canceling Khezranejad's death penalty.
The striking prisoners demand attention to their plight and support from
the broader community.
According to a report by Amnesty International, Iran has reached its
highest level of death sentence execution in the last eight years, with
the judiciary of the Islamic Republic executing 853 people in 2023
alone. The report indicates that 481 executions, more than half of the
total, were related to drug crimes. This marks an 89 per cent increase
in the death penalty compared to 2022 when 255 people were executed for
drug-related offenses. The latest numbers also show a 264 per cent
increase compared to 2021, when 132 individuals faced execution for
similar charges.>>

<<Iran Commutes Sunni Cleric's Death Sentence to Life Imprisonment
Iran's judiciary has commuted the death sentence of a Sunni cleric to a
life imprisonment sentence. Iran's judiciary media outlet, Mizan News
Agency, reported that Mohammad Khezrnejad's execution sentence was
reduced after he <expressed remorse and commitment to good behavior> and
requested an amnesty. Khezrnejad was arrested in November 2022 amid the
anti-government unrest that swept through Iran. He and his son were
detained in the city of Bukan after Khezrnejad delivered a speech at the
funeral of a protester killed by security forces. The cleric was charged
with <spreading corruption on Earth, threatening national security, and
anti-Islamic Republic propaganda> by the Urmia court, presided over by
Judge Reza Najafzadeh. His sentencing relied heavily on contested
confessions that Khezrnejad said were extracted under duress during
interrogations.
Human rights monitors have reported that Khezrnejad was also physically
assaulted during the arrest process.
He has denied all the accusations against him as baseless.>>

Farhad Beigi Garrosi, a detainee of the 2022 protests, has taken his own
life in Sahneh city of Kermanshah province. According to the Hengaw
Human Rights Organization, Garrosi committed suicide at his family home
due to immense pressure from Iranian security forces. The 21-year-old

a potential transfer to Tehran's notorious Evin prison. Hengaw said that
Garrosi had faced continuous harassment and intimidation by authorities

of 2022 amid nationwide protests sparked by Mahsa Amini's death in
morality police custody.
The Iranian judiciary accused Garrosi of <participation in murder> for
his alleged role in the killing of Basij militia intelligence chief
Nader Bayrami in Sahneh. Another protester from the city, Reza Rasaei,

<<Disqualified Reformist Challenges Guardian Council's Decision
Several prominent figures disqualified from running in Iran's upcoming
presidential election have issued statements protesting their exclusion
and demanding that the Guardian Council explain its decision-making
process. Eshaq Jahangiri, a reformist and former vice president in
Hassan Rouhani's administration, called his disqualification
<incompatible with the fundamental rights of the nation> in a June 10
statement. He urged the Guardian Council to publish the reasons for
barring his candidacy. Jahangiri demanded that the Council clarify why
he was disqualified, saying there is a <serious demand> for the process
to be made transparent. In his statement, Jahangiri endorsed Masoud
Pezeshkian as the only approved reformist candidate, praising him for
his <honesty, courage, and clean hands in governance.> Abbas Akhondi, a
disqualified reformist candidate, also sent a letter protesting his
exclusion, which he deemed lacking <legal aspects> and an <oppression
and persecution> against himself and his political allies who had
nominated him. The vetting process by the hard-line Guardian Council has
significantly narrowed the field ahead of the June 28 snap election
called after the death of Ebrahim Raisi. Meanwhile, Ali Larijani,
another disqualified candidate, criticized the Council's
<non-transparent mechanism> in an open letter on June 10. He said he had
intended to run due to Iran's <dangerous conditions,> including economic
struggles and international tensions.>>
