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.

<<Iranian Court Upholds Over 5-Year Sentence for Activist Vadood Asadi
Azeri activist Vadood Asadi has been sentenced to five years and six months in prison following a retrial at Branch 3 of the Revolutionary Court in northern Rasht. The verdict, handed down after a hearing on Sunday, October 27, upholds the original sentence previously issued in absentia. The charges against him include <propaganda against the Islamic Republic,> <membership in opposition groups,> and <insulting the Supreme Leader.>
Asadi's recent legal troubles intensified in February 2024 when security forces arrested him in Rasht. Following his arrest, authorities transferred him to Tehran’s Evin Prison in March. He was subsequently released on bail while awaiting trial. The latest sentencing adds to Asadi's history of judicial confrontations stemming from his activism work.>>

<<Three Workers Sentenced to Prison for Demanding Better Working Conditions
Three construction workers have been sentenced to two years in prison by the Shahriar Revolutionary Court for protesting working conditions.
Morteza Saeedi, Naser Amiro, and Mohammad Irannejad received their sentences following interrogations at a detention facility in Tehran. The charges against them included <protesting working conditions and workers' rights,> according to IranWire. Labor activists have criticized the court's decision, noting that the verdicts were issued without substantial evidence. They characterize the sentences as an attempt to suppress labor movements and discourage worker protests amid growing economic pressures in Iran. The sentencing comes as Iranian workers face mounting challenges over working conditions and wages, with many labor demonstrations being met with legal action by authorities.>>

<<Sulmaz Hassanzadeh Sentenced to One Year in Prison
Sulmaz Hassanzadeh, the justice-seeking sister of Mohammad Hassanzadeh, has been sentenced to one year of imprisonment by Branch 101 of the Criminal Court of Bukan on charges of <propaganda against the state.> On July 30, 2024, during a ceremony commemorating Mohammad Hassanzadeh, a victim of the 2022 nationwide Iran uprising, on his birthday, security forces launched an attack on his family home in Bukan. They violently arrested his father and sister, Ahmad and Sulmaz Hassanzadeh. The situation escalated as they physically assaulted his mother and two neighbor women. The incident occurred while the Hassanzadeh family prepared to commemorate their late son's birthday. Sulmaz Hassanzadeh, Mohammad's sister, bore the brunt of the assault. Security forces used a stun gun on her knees during her arrest. When her mother attempted to intervene, she was punched in the chest and fell to the ground, subsequently requiring hospitalization. Meanwhile, two neighbor women who tried to document the security forces' actions had their mobile phones confiscated and were also physically beaten. On Wednesday, July 31, only one day after her arrest, Sulmaz Hassanzadeh, 30, was transferred to the women's ward of the Central Prison of Urmia. After 14 days in detention and an 8-day hunger strike, Sulmaz Hassanzadeh was temporarily released on bail of 500 million tomans on Tuesday, August 13. Ms. Hassanzadeh had been previously arrested and detained on September 27, 2023.>>

Varisha Moradi
Medyanews - October 30, 2024
<<End of Warisheh Moradi's hunger strike: a milestone for Iranian human rights
After 20 days on hunger strike, imprisoned Kurdish activist Warisheh Moradi ended her protest in response to widespread appeals from activists, academics, and women’s groups. Her strike spotlighted human rights abuses and sparked solidarity movements across Europe and Iran.
After 20 days on hunger strike, Kurdish political activist Warisheh Moradi ended her protest on Tuesday from within Tehran’s Evin prison. A member of the Free Women's Society of East Kurdistan (KJAR) and a vocal advocate for women's rights, Moradi had initiated her strike in a plea against Iran's executions, harsh prison conditions, and systemic injustices. Her decision to end the strike followed calls from human rights advocates and international organisations concerned for her deteriorating health. In an open letter dated October 10, Moradi declared her indefinite hunger strike to condemn Iran's escalating use of capital punishment. The letter outlined her concerns with Iran’s judicial framework and the inhumane conditions she endured in Evin prison. Her protest gained traction among activists, academics, and KJAR, who collectively highlighted the urgency of her demands as her health worsened. By the strike's 16th day, civil activists launched a solidarity statement, pledging to begin their own hunger strikes from 26 October in support of Moradi’s cause. "Nothing should be more precious than human life," they said. "We need her voice and presence throughout this resistance." In a public show of support, KJAR amplified Moradi's plight on 25 October, calling for the immediate end of her strike due to her critical condition, which included severe blood pressure drops, dizziness, and extreme weight loss. KJAR further committed to a three-day hunger strike across several European countries, protesting Iran's capital punishment practices and expressing solidarity with Moradi's cause. This advocacy was bolstered by the Transnational Democratic Platform of Iranian Women, which also called for an end to Iran's executions, launching a campaign in support of Moradi's mission. Sharife Zarini, the mother of executed political prisoner Ramin Hossein Panahi, personally appealed to Moradi to halt her strike, pledging to join the cause. Moradi's protest spotlighted Iran’s dire prison conditions and stirred a wave of international support, mobilising activists from various fronts and renewing hopes for women's and human rights reforms in Iran. Her decision to end the strike symbolises a powerful moment in the broader struggle for justice and women's rights in the region.>>

<<Narges Mohammadi allowed to be hospitalized
Iranian authorities have allowed imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to be hospitalized after almost nine weeks of feeling sick, the Free Narges Coalition announced on Sunday.
News Center- Iranian authorities have allowed imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to be hospitalized after almost nine weeks of feeling sick, the free Narges Coalition, a campaign group for Narges Mohammadi, announced on Sunday. The campaign group called on Iranian authorities to grant Narges Mohammadi a medical furlough to receive comprehensive treatment for multiple conditions, saying, "Just transferring her to the hospital will not address the severe health issues caused by months of neglect and deprivation." In February 2022, Narges Mohammadi was transferred to the hospital and underwent an angiography. Since the main artery of her heart had 75% blockage, a stent was placed in that artery.
Narges Mohammadi has been also suffering from acute back and knee pain, including a herniated spinal disc.>>

Increased pressure by IRGC on the family of Armita Geravand
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - Oct 27, 2024
<<Increased pressure by security agencies on the family of Armita Geravand; one year after her state-sanctioned murder
Hengaw's sources report that the security agencies of the Islamic Republic of Iran have imposed severe pressure on the family of the deceased teenager Armita Geravand on the first anniversary of her state-sanctioned murder. According to reports received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, security agencies have recently pressured Armita's family and prohibited them from posting any content on social media related to her. The family was even prevented from posting a story about the floral wreath prepared for her grave, with security forces stopping this action.

Increased pressure by IRGC on the family of Armita Geravand
A family member told Hengaw, "For several days now, the home of Armita's family in Tehran has been under heavy surveillance by security forces, and all movements to and from their residence are being closely monitored. These agencies have warned the family that Armita's memorial must not take place at their home or at her gravesite." This source, who requested anonymity for security reasons, added: "Since the morning of Saturday, October 26, security forces have been stationed around Armita's grave to prevent any gathering on the anniversary of her murder."

Increased pressure by IRGC on the family of Armita Geravand
Armita Geravand, born on April 2, 2006, in Kermanshah (Kermashan), was rendered unconscious on October 1, 2023, following an altercation with government agents due to her non-compliance with the mandatory hijab law in Tehran's metro. She was admitted to Fajr Hospital, affiliated with the Army’s Medical Sciences University, and fell into a coma. After 28 days, she passed away on October 28, 2023.>>
