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.>>

NCRI - Womens committee - December 20, 2023 - in The Fallen for Freedom
<<Yalda Aghafazli
Yalda Aghafazli was a defiant young woman striving for freedoms withheld by the theocratic regime.
She was named Yalda because she was born on December 22, the longest night of the year in 2002. In Iranian culture, the Winter Solstice is referred to as Yalda, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness and celebrated accordingly.
Yalda Aghafazli actively participated in the protests that commenced in September 2022 following the tragic murder of Jina Amini while in the custody of the Moral Police. Unfortunately, Yalda was arrested on October 26, just a little over a month into the uprising. The 19-year-old protester spent four days in Evin Prison before being transferred to the notorious Qarchak Prison, where she remained detained for another 11 days. In a call from Qarchak Prison, she mentioned that one couldn't fathom the extent of the beatings she endured in prison to coerce confessions against her will. "During these 12-13 days, I faced more beatings than in all my 19 years of life. My voice became hoarse because I screamed and shouted constantly, yet I remained steadfast and didn't show any remorse until the very end. They wrote in my file, 'the accused did not express remorse,' and I said, 'Yes, that's right. I won't express remorse.' Until the very last moment, I stood by everything I had done. They accused me of being involved in the riots, and I admitted to it. I didn't cry; instead, I shouted and screamed so much that’s why my voice is hoarse. They beat me severely, beyond imagination! I can't speak much about it here, but once I'm out, I'll tell you everything face to face. I'll share all the details." In yet another audio recording, she expresses sheer happiness that she didn’t yield. She proudly states, "I didn't express any regret until the very end." In her file, it was noted that <the accused did not express remorse.> Her reaction? "Yeaaah, exactly!" she exclaims. Upon her release on bail on November 9, 2022, Yalda felt relieved that news of her arrest had gained widespread attention, and she expressed deep gratitude to everyone for their support. A picture taken of her after being released from prison shows a happy, proud Yalda jumping into the arms of her uncle. Tragically, two days later, on November 11, reports surfaced stating that she had died. Initially, it was claimed that she had thrown herself from a rooftop, but state media later alleged that she died from a crack overdose.

Yalda jumped into the arms of her uncle upon freedom from jail. The clerical regime did not allow the victory sign to remain on her tombstone.
Yalda Aghafazli is among many protesters who died under suspicious circumstances after their release from prison. These deaths have raised significant concerns and questions about the treatment these individuals faced while detained. There are widespread rumors that prison authorities administer lethal injections to resistant prisoners before releasing them, leading to their deaths outside prison walls. This method allows them to evade responsibility for the protester’s death while instilling fear in the public and deterring others from participating in anti-regime protests. And yet another audio recording of Yalda sheds light on the circumstances of her arrest and the arrests of many protesters, especially young women, by the regime's ruthless security forces. "They suddenly started chasing me, like they had it out for me because they couldn't catch me before. I usually went out solo, and that night near the university on Eghelab Ave, this guy on a motorcycle yelled, 'Get that kid!' "He zoomed right at me on his bike, spraying pepper spray straight into my eyes. I tried to block it with my hands, but he grabbed my hands and tied them up tight with these wristbands. I couldn't even feel my veins, they were so tight. Then, a bunch of them pinned me against the wall, pushed me down, and shone a flashlight in my face, shouting, 'What's your name?' And then with my eyes shut tight, they dragged me and tossed me into a van." Yalda Aghafazli is one of the most popular martyrs of the 2022 Iran uprising. The regime's hirelings have repeatedly scratched and damaged her picture standing on top of her tombstone. In line with the pressures imposed on the families of the martyrs of the 2022 Iran uprising, her mother, Fahimeh Moradi, was arrested on September 17, 2023, on the anniversary of the Iran Uprising. The regime also summoned Yalda's father and uncle and forced to cancel their plans to observe the first anniversary of her loss.
The writing on her tombstone reads, "The daughter of Iran, God created her happy and free; She did not believe her chains and took wings and flew away to reach her dreams."

Darya Nazmdeh
NCRI - Womens committee - 8 Nov 2024 - in The Fallen for Freedom
<<Darya Nazmdeh
A Young, Energetic Woman who Sought Justice
Darya Nazmdeh was born on September 11, 1994, in Savojbolagh, a city in Alborz Province, Iran. Darya Nazmdeh lived with her parents in Karaj, a large city just west of Tehran, known for its diverse population and bustling life. Darya was vibrant, full of energy, and had a joyful spirit that was cherished by everyone around her. In 2022, after the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in police custody, protests erupted across Iran, as citizens demanded justice and change. Like many young Iranians, Darya joined the demonstrations, her voice rising against injustice.

Hadis Najafi
On November 3, 2022, a massive protest was held on the Tehran-Karaj highway to mark the fortieth day since the death of Hadis Najafi, another young woman who had become a symbol of the movement. Tens of thousands gathered that day. But on the way back from the Behesht-e Sakineh cemetery, where mourners had gathered, security forces launched a brutal assault, using sound bombs and tear gas against the crowd. Many were injured, and even more were detained. Darya Nazmdeh and her friends encountered a patrol vehicle from the notorious Sarallah unit, known for its role in cracking down on protests. While her friends managed to flee, Darya chose to stand her ground, confronting the officers. They responded with extreme violence, beating her severely with batons, striking her head and face repeatedly, before forcing her into their vehicle. In custody, Darya Nazmdeh was subjected to merciless torture. The abuse was so extreme that she succumbed to her injuries and died under interrogation. On the night of November 4, one of Darya's friends, who had been with her until the end, informed her family that the Sarallah patrol had arrested her. Desperate to find her, Darya's family searched police stations, prisons, and hospitals, but to no avail. After two agonizing weeks, they finally located her body in the morgue at the Behesht-e Sakineh cemetery.
The morgue official, under pressure from authorities, claimed Darya was <unidentified> and had <died in a car accident.> But her body told a different story: bruises and wounds covered her face and body, and her cheeks were marked with clear signs of blunt force. Her family identified her by a birthmark on her hand. After discovering Darya's body, her family faced intense pressure from security officials. They were forced to state on camera that their daughter had died in a car accident. Authorities threatened that if they refused, they too would <face Darya's fate.>
Finally, on November 12, 2022, under heavy security, Darya Nazmdeh was laid to rest in the village of Ghaleh Shahr.>>

Maria Ghavasieh
NCRI - Womens committee - 8 Nov 2024 - in The Fallen for Freedom
<<Maria Ghavasieh
Maria Ghavasieh was born on August 1, 2001, in Shiraz, a historic city in southern Iran. As the only child in her family, Maria's early years were marked by both love and profound loss. At just four years old, she lost her father in a tragic car accident. Then, when she was twelve, her mother passed away after a struggle with cancer. These hardships could have broken her spirit, but Maria persevered, focusing on her studies with resilience and determination, intent on building a future for herself despite the many obstacles. Maria Ghavasieh was known for her joyful, energetic personality and her hopeful outlook on life. Friends remember her as a young woman full of life, whose strength was a source of inspiration for others. In 2019, at just 18, she joined the nationwide protests that erupted in November, standing up for the future she longed for-a life of freedom and justice. Although she was arrested during these protests, she refused to let fear silence her voice. When a new wave of protests broke out in 2022, Maria Ghavasieh, then 21, was among the countless young women who again took to the streets, determined to make a difference. On November 5, 2022, during a protest in Shiraz, the demonstration Maria was part of was violently attacked by security forces. She was arrested and taken to Adelabad Prison in Shiraz, where her bravery met with unimaginable cruelty. Subjected to severe beatings, torture, and assault, Maria endured unbearable abuse. Within two or three days, she succumbed to her injuries while in custody, under the regime's brutal treatment. To cover up the truth, security forces falsely claimed that Maria Ghavasieh had taken her own life in prison. Her body was buried in an undisclosed location, leaving her family and friends without the solace of a proper farewell.>>

<<Pegah Ghavasieh
Pegah Ghavasieh, a 19-year-old woman from the southern Iranian city of Shiraz, was known for her kind nature and her deep-rooted desire for freedom. Born and raised in Shiraz, a city rich in Persian history and culture, Pegah dreamed of a life free from oppression. Tragically, her young life was cut short in the nationwide protests that swept across Iran in 2022, sparked by demands for justice and civil rights. On November 5, 2022, Pegah joined a peaceful protest in Shiraz, as people gathered to stand against years of injustice. During the demonstration, she encountered brutal suppression by the security forces, who attacked protesters to stifle their calls for change. Pegah Ghavasieh was subjected to a savage assault, with multiple blows to her head and neck by batons wielded by security forces. These fatal injuries ended her life, marking her as yet another young soul lost in Iran's struggle for freedom. Following her death, authorities refused to release her body to her family, taking it as leverage to exert pressure on her grieving relatives. Her family, heartbroken and devastated, found themselves under relentless scrutiny and intimidation by the security forces, who sought to silence any public mourning or expression of dissent.>>
