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.

Arrests at Yalda Aghafazli memorial
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 8 Nov 2024
<<Security forces raid memorial for Yalda Aghafazli, arrest two people
Security forces of Islamic Republic of Iran raided the second-anniversary memorial for Yalda Aghafazli, a young artist killed during the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, arresting two attendees. Those arrested include Hossein Naderbeigi, an eye injury victim during the movement, and another individual, Majid Salahi. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, security forces disrupted the memorial gathering in Tehran on Friday, November 8, 2024, which was attended by Aghafazli's family and other grieving families seeking justice. The raid reportedly created an atmosphere of fear, with security forces using physical violence during the arrests. Witnesses report that amid the raid, both Naderbeigi, who suffered an eye injury during previous protests, and Salahi, a family friend, were detained and taken to an undisclosed location.
Yalda Aghafazli, a 19-year-old artist, was initially arrested by security forces on October 27, 2022 during the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement. After 11 days in detention, she was released on November 6, only to die under suspicious circumstances five days later, on November 11.>>

<<Three Baha'is Arrested At Religious Gathering in Iran
The Islamic Republic's security forces arrested three members of Iran's Baha'i religious minority during a religious celebration in central Isfahan. Rashid Dehghani and Pedram Dehghani from Tehran, along with Parsa Dehghani from Karaj, were among eleven Baha'i attendees initially detained at the gathering. While eight others have since been released, the location of the three Dehghanis remains unknown, according to the HRANA human rights organization. The arrests highlight the ongoing persecution of Iran's Baha'i community which continues to face systematic discrimination from state authorities. For decades, Baha'is have faced systematic discrimination in Iran, as the Islamic Republic does not recognize their faith. The government often accuses Baha'is of being spies or opposing the regime, but the Baha'i International Community asserts that no evidence has been provided to support these claims. Over the past two years, the Iranian government has intensified its crackdown on members of the Baha'i faith, imprisoning dozens of them on spurious charges, denying them access to higher education and livelihoods, and confiscating or destroying their properties.>>

<<Imprisoned Iranian Lawyer Rushed to Hospital After Medical Emergency
An Iranian lawyer was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday following an apparent heart-related emergency during a family visit at Tehran's Evin Prison.
While meeting his family, Mohammad Najafi displayed symptoms of a heart attack. Prison authorities initially took him to the prison clinic before transferring him to Loghman Hakim Hospital under tight security. According to HRANA, the human rights news agency, Najafi arrived at the hospital "under heavy restraints." Najafi, who has faced multiple prosecutions, was briefly released in 2019 but was re-arrested four days later on new charges. He was transferred to Evin Prison from Arak Prison in May 2023. Najafi currently faces over 21 years in prison across various cases involving 14 separate charges. His most severe sentence, initially 10 years but reduced to four years and six months, was imposed for <assisting a hostile government through interviews with foreign media.> Since his imprisonment, authorities have filed at least five additional cases against him.>>

<<IRGC Convoy Ambushed in Southeast Iran, Six Killed
At least six military personnel were killed when a convoy of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces was ambushed in Sistan and Baluchistan province. Local sources reported the attack took place on Friday morning as the IRGC convoy was traveling from Sarbaz to the Rask district. The convoy was ambushed by armed individuals near Firoozabad, about five kilometers from Rask. The attack, believed to have been carried out by the militant group Jaish al-Adl, killed at least six IRGC members and injured several others. Government media only confirmed the death of one soldier, but some reports suggest that four members of the Jaish al-Adl group were also killed in the ambush. Following the attack, IRGC forces reportedly opened fire on passing vehicles, resulting in casualties among a family. Abdullah Izadshenas, a metalworker from Firoozabad, along with his wife and two children, were shot and taken to the hospital. A local spokesperson confirmed only the death of one soldier, did not mention the family members, and labeled the attackers as <terrorists.> Local sources reported that IRGC forces fired at civilians present at the scene after the convoy ambush.
Jaish al-Adl is recognized as a terrorist group by both Iranian authorities and several Western governments, including the United States. The attack follows tensions that flared in January when Iran launched missile strikes against Jaish al-Adl bases in Pakistan, prompting a retaliatory military action by Pakistan targeting suspected separatists in Iran.>>

<<Whereabouts of Kurdish man from Saqqez unknown following arrest
Milad Rashidi, a 29-year-old resident of Saqqez, has been arrested by security forces for the past eleven days, with his whereabouts currently unknown. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, no information has been disclosed regarding Rashidi's location or condition since his detention. Despite efforts, his family's attempts to gather information about his status have thus far been unsuccessful. Rashidi was arrested on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, by agents from the Intelligence Department while on his way to work in Saqqez. Following his arrest, security forces reportedly raided his home, searched the premises, and confiscated some of his personal belongings.
Hengaw has learned that Rashidi's detention is linked to a recent post on his Instagram account concerning the Israeli military's strikes on Iranian facilities.>>

<<UN: Turkiye should adopt policy reform to prevent violence against women and girls
The United Nations Human Rights Committee has raised serious concerns in its latest observations following Turkiye's second periodic report, highlighting that Turkiye should adopt policy reform to prevent violence against women and girls.
News Center- The United Nations Human Rights Committee considered the second periodic report of Türkiye at its 4162nd and 4163rd meetings, held on October 23 and October 24 2024. Concluding observations on the second periodic report of Turkiye, the committee said, "The State party should adopt comprehensive legal and policy reform to prevent, address and eradicate violence against women and girls, that explicitly address all forms of violence against women, including domestic violence and the so-called 'honour crimes'." The committee has also raised serious concerns about the lack of effective measures aimed to ensure the independent functioning of the judiciary as well as to prevent the misuse of counter-terrorism legislation against opposition politicians and activists, journalists, lawyers and human rights defenders in the exercise of their human rights. "The State party should include in its next Human Rights Plan concrete and effective measures to ensure the independent functioning of the judiciary and to prevent the misuse of the counter-terrorism legislation." The Committee has reiterated its concern that the legal framework in Turkiye does not offer full protection against discrimination on all grounds covered by the Covenant, including LGBTQ individuals, persons with disabilities and ethnic minorities, such as the Kurdish community. The committee calls on Turkiye to:
"adopt comprehensive legislation prohibiting discrimination, including intersectional, direct and indirect discrimination, in both the public and the private sectors and on all grounds prohibited under the Covenant; ensure the effective implementation and application of the legislation and access to effective and appropriate remedies for victims; and amend the Law on the Human Rights and Equality Institution of Türkiye in order to ensure it can address discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity; Ensure that all acts of discrimination, hate speech and hate crime are promptly and effectively investigated, perpetrators are brought to justice and, if convicted, punished with appropriate sanctions and that victims are provided with adequate remedies." >>

<<Iran Upholds Prison Sentence on Lawyer Mohammadreza Faghihi
The Court of Appeals in Tehran has upheld a five-year prison sentence and additional restrictions on human rights lawyer Mohammadreza Faghihi.
The preliminary court's initial ruling sentenced Faghihi to five years in prison, a two-year travel ban, and a two-year prohibition on practicing law or participating in political groups. The new verdict maintained these penalties, convicting Faghihi of <assembly and collusion to act against national security.> In addition to the prison term, Faghihi faces a two-year ban on leaving the country, a two-year suspension from practicing law, and a two-year prohibition on involvement in political organizations. According to the HRANA human rights organization, the verdict was delivered to Faghihi's legal team on November 4, and the case has since been sent to the enforcement branch for implementation. Faghihi's legal issues began on October 12, 2022, when security forces arrested him and two other lawyers during a protest held by lawyers outside the Central Bar Association in Argentina Square in Tehran. The protest aimed to highlight "violations of protesters' rights and Article 27 of the Constitution." Faghihi was released on bail on October 25, 2022, but has since faced additional legal challenges.>>
