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.

Iranwire - May 3,2024
<<Iran Executed 63 Prisoners in Just Two Weeks
The Islamic Republic's judiciary executed at least 63 prisoners over the past fortnight, a human rights organization reported.
In a report released on Thursday, Iran Human Rights Organization disclosed that the Islamic Republic executed one person approximately every five hours during the past two weeks. According to the organization's findings, 63 prisoners were executed in Iranian prisons. The report also reveals that from the beginning of this year until the end of April, 171 individuals were executed across various prisons in Iran. Mahmoud Amiri-Moghadam, director of the Iran Human Rights Organization, emphasized the alarming frequency of executions, stating, <In the last two weeks, the Islamic Republic executed one person every five hours without incurring any cost.> Amiri-Moghadam underscored the concerning lack of international response, warning that the absence of reaction could embolden further executions. He said, <Nations committed to human rights, with diplomatic ties to the Islamic Republic, must speak out against this surge in executions in Iran.> According to statistics compiled by the human rights organization, April witnessed 71 executions across 24 different prisons in Iran, with 63 occurring within the final two weeks of the month. Among the 71 executed prisoners, 44 had been convicted on charges linked to drugs, 26 for <intentional murder,> and one for <rape.> The victims included at least 16 Baluch citizens, six Afghan citizens, and three women. 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 percent rise in death penalties for drug-related offenses compared to 2022, when 255 people were executed. The latest numbers also show a staggering 264 percent increase compared to 2021, when 132 individuals faced execution on similar charges.>>

<<Young Protester Gets 10-Day Leave From Prison
Mohammad Boroghani, a young imprisoned protester, has been granted ten days' leave from Ghezalhesar prison, where he is serving a five-year sentence. Boroghani, arrested in Pakdasht during the 2022 protests, faced initial sentencing of death for <waging war against God> by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolution Court. However, following an appeal, this verdict was revised to five years in prison and ten years of exile. The revised sentence, issued amid procedural concerns, garnered media attention after the case was retried and referred back to the same branch. Like other protesters detained during the nationwide demonstrations, Boroghani lacked legal representation during his trial. Information obtained by IranWire suggests that his court-appointed lawyer acted more as an interrogator than a defense advocate during the proceedings.>>

<<Sorayya Mohammadi, a young woman hanged in Qezel-Hesar prison in Karaj
At dawn on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, a young woman by the name of Sorayya Mohammadi was hanged in Qezel-Hesar prison in Karaj. Originally from Pakdasht, a city in Tehran Province, Sorayya Mohammadi had been detained in Qarchak Prison for two years. She was transferred to Qezel-Hesar Prison the day before for implementing her death sentence. According to the information compiled by the Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, with the execution of Sorayya Mohammadi, the number of women executed in Iran since 2007 has reached 235.
Record holder of executions of women
The Iranian regime is the world's top record holder of executions of women.
No government in the world has executed so many women. The list does not account for the tens of thousands of women executed in Iran on political grounds. The NCRI Women's Committee previously mentioned that many of the women executed by the mullahs' regime are themselves victims of domestic violence against women and have acted in self-defense. An average of 15 women were executed every year under the former government in Iran. However, 26 women were executed under Raisi government in 2023, which is 11 more than the previous average. The NCRI Women's Committee calls on the United Nations, the European Union, and other relevant international organizations to take urgent action to save the lives of those on death row and stop the use of death penalty in Iran.>>

<<Banning IRGC Not in UK's Interest: David Cameron
Former British Prime Minister and present foreign secretary David Cameron has said proscribing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist group would not be in Britain's interest. In a Tuesday session with the House of Lords International Relations and Defense Committee, Cameron said that the United Kingdom had already taken sufficient steps to pressurize the Islamic Republic. He insisted that proscribing the IRGC would break in important diplomatic relations with Iran. <We have sanctioned the IRGC in its entirety. When I ask law enforcement, police, intelligence services, others, is this extra step of proscription necessary in order to take further action against these people when they do the things that we disapprove of, the answer is no,> he said. He added, <There is a disadvantage, to be frank about it, from proscription, which is it would effectively end diplomatic relations, and while our diplomatic relations are pretty terse, and I say that with meaning as someone who has had very many conversations with the Iranian foreign minister, we are actually able to have that conversation.> <When it comes to trying to stop the escalation of the conflict, when it comes to delivering a very direct message to the Iranians... I want to have that conversation myself, I don't want to ring up my French counterpart and say 'could you message the Iranians with this message?' I think that is not in Britain's interest, that would not strengthen our approach, it many ways it would weaken it,> he asserted. Founded after the 1979 Islamic Revolution to defend the Islamic Republic from internal dissent and balance the power of the formerly royalist armed forces, the IRGC, also known as the Sepah, is often portrayed as a single entity. But over the decades, it has grown into a bloated, multi-departmental bureaucracy that has a massive impact on Iran's military, economy, and, to an increasing degree, wider society.>>

<<Female taxi drivers in Tehran face discrimination
Female taxi drivers in Iran are subjected to sexist discourses, harassment, insults and threats by male taxi drivers and other male drivers.
Tehran- There are 4,830 female taxi drivers across Iran and 2,900 of them working in Tehran alone, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). Most female taxi drivers offer services only to women and families.
'Female taxi drivers are subjected to harassment and insults'
Nadia Shokofa has worked as a taxi driver in Tehran for about 10 years by breaking gender stereotypes. She often faces sexist discourses while doing her profession. <Male drivers are aggressive to female taxi drivers. They stop our car or do not allow us to get in. They use nasty language against us. This situation is very difficult for us because we have to work for our family. We try to put halal food on the table for our children.>
'She was threatened after filing a complaint'
Nadia Shokofa filed a complaint to the Taxi Association of Tehran against a male driver, who insulted and sexually harassed her. Instead of defending my rights, the association asked for documents from me. I told them, <If a woman had not been subjected to verbal harassment, why would she file a complaint? They did nothing to the man but threatened me to send me to Karaj even if I live in Tehran. I had to remain silent.>
'Women should support each other more'
Nadia Sholofa was subjected to discrimination and then fired. <I am a woman struggling to survive and raise her children by earning halal money but I was subjected to discrimination,> she said. <I have good contact with my customers. We share our thoughts and experiences and listen to each other. I wait for them when they need to buy something. When they do not have money, I do not ask for money from them. Women are oppressed everywhere. I think women should support and stand with each other more.> >>
