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.

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - November 10, 2024
<<Femicide: Mansureh Ghadiri Javid, IRNA Journalist, killed by her husband in Tehran
Mansureh Ghadiri Javid, a journalist in the research division of the state-run IRNA news agency, was killed by her husband in Tehran, who allegedly used a knife and blunt force. The perpetrator's stated motive for the crime was <family disputes.>. According to a report received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Saturday, November 9, 2024, Mansureh Ghadiri Javid was murdered in northern Tehran by her husband, who inflicted multiple stab wounds and struck her head with a blunt object (a dumbbell). As reported by the government-affiliated Rokna website, the perpetrator, who is a lawyer currently in custody, admitted that he had been experiencing marital conflicts with his wife for several years and, during an argument the previous day, killed her.>>

Varisheh Moradi
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 10 Nov 2024
<<Varisheh Moradi, Kurdish political prisoner, sentenced to death
Varisheh Moradi, a Kurdish political activist, women's rights advocate, and member of the Free Women's Society of East Kurdistan (KJAR), has been sentenced to death by Iran's judicial system on charges of <armed rebellion.> Recently, in protest of the death sentences issued to activists, she went on a hunger strike that lasted 20 days. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Varisheh Moradi, a Kurdish political prisoner from Sanandaj, currently imprisoned in Evin Prison, was sentenced to death by Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran persisted over by Judge Abolqasem Salavati. She was charged with <armed rebellion> due to her affiliation with the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), and her death sentence was officially communicated to her lawyers on Sunday, November 10, 2024. Notably, the final session addressing the charges against Varisheh Moradi took place on October 6, 2024, during which her lawyers were denied access to her case file. They were also barred from reviewing her file in both the initial (June 17) and second sessions, and Moradi herself was not allowed to defend herself in court. On Thursday, October 10, 2024, coinciding with the "World Day Against the Death Penalty," Varisheh Moradi began a 20-day hunger strike in protest of the issuance and enforcement of death sentences by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Moradi was recently sentenced to an additional six months of imprisonment by the Criminal Court 2 of the Qods Judicial Complex in Tehran, presided over by Judge Abolfazl Ameri Shahabi, in a joint case alongside four other political prisoners held in Evin Prison. On Tuesday, December 26, 2023, after five months of solitary confinement in Ward 209 of Evin Prison, controlled by the Ministry of Intelligence, she was transferred to the women's ward. In late August 2023, following interrogation and torture at the Sanandaj Intelligence Department's detention center, she was transferred to Ward 209 of Evin. On August 1, 2023, as she was traveling from Marivan to Sanandaj, she was abducted by the Intelligence security forces. During this abduction, she was severely beaten and transferred to the detention facility without any medical attention. Hengaw had previously reported that Moradi faced such extreme torture in the Sanandaj Intelligence Department's detention center that she once vomited blood and lost consciousness entirely.>>

<<Democracy at a crossroads: The Persian-centric state and the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" motto
The consequences of the widespread "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" (Woman, Life, Freedom) movement continue to reverberate throughout Iran and Iranian Kurdistan. While the early months of the uprising forged a fragile consensus among pro-democracy forces striving for democracy in Iran, subsequent events revealed the persistence of the hegemonic mentality rooted in centralism, writes Azad Hajiaghaei.

Jina Amini
Two years ago, when Kurds in Iranian Kurdistan (Rojhilat) raised the slogan "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" (Woman, Life, Freedom) at Jina Amini's funeral in Saqqez's Aichi cemetery, few could have foreseen that this rallying cry-and the enduring struggle of Kurds, particularly Kurdish women, in Eastern Kurdistan and Iran would become a powerful foundation for change across Iran. Yet, the lack of attention from Iranian democrats and even women activists to the Kurdish pursuit of democracy has been equally surprising. The consequences of this widespread movement continue to reverberate throughout Iran and Iranian Kurdistan. While the early months of the uprising forged a fragile consensus among pro-democracy forces striving for democracy in Iran, subsequent events revealed the persistence of the hegemonic mentality rooted in centralism. This mentality, inherent to the state's centralist and religious ideologies, continues to distort and co-opt the slogan "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi", thus obstructing any substantive transformation.
Allow me to illustrate this with a few key episodes:>>

Arezou Khavari
NCRI - November 9, 2024
<<Iran: Brutal Killing of Four Women and the Suicides of Two Teenage Girls Reported in Just One Week
The past week in Iran has exposed a tragic crisis with the brutal killing of four women and the suicides of two teenage girls. These incidents lay bare a disturbing pattern of femicides under the Iranian clerical regime. After over four decades of rule that began by enforcing compulsory hijab and systemically marginalizing women with deeply discriminatory laws, the murder of women has tragically become commonplace. This deeply troubling reality demands international attention and intervention to halt the ongoing violence against women in Iran. The regime has refused to criminalize domestic violence, and its legal system often fails to proportionately punish violent crimes against women. Lacking social protections, women face normalized, rampant violence. On November 2, 2024, in Maragheh, a city in northwestern Iran, the body of a young woman was discovered in the trunk of a car. She had been killed by her husband, who shot her with a pistol. The 23-year-old husband justified the murder as a result of <family disputes." On November 3, in a neighborhood in Hormozgan Province, southern Iran, a man used a knife to kill his wife. The woman's identity remains unknown, but <family disputes> were again cited as the motive. At around 4 a.m. on November 6 in Mashhad, a major northeastern city, a man named Javad R. struck his 53-year-old wife in the head with a pickaxe, in full view of their child. The woman, who sustained a severe head injury, was taken to Razavi Hospital in Mashhad, where her chances of survival are exceedingly slim. A report on November 8 detailed the killing of Farideh Mahakki, a 25-year-old woman from the village of Rezabad in Ramian County, Golestan Province. She was brutally murdered by her father, grandfather, and uncle, who beat her and forced her to consume a lethal substance. In a heartbreaking case involving a young Afghan girl in Iran, 16-year-old Arezou Khavari, a student at Kowsar High School in Shahr-e Rey (southern Tehran), took her own life on November 2. After being threatened with expulsion by her school principal and vice principal for not observing the compulsory hijab, Arezou left the office, exited the school, and jumped from the sixth floor of a nearby building. Arezou's father said, "We filed a complaint against the principal. This was not the first time they treated my daughter poorly. Last year, they even tried to deny her enrollment, using excuses like her having 'too many friends' or a few stray strands of hair."

Arezou Khavari and Aynaz Karimi
In another tragic incident, reported on November 9, 2024, 12th-grade student Aynaz Karimi from the village of Daris in Kazerun County (southern Iran) took her own life by hanging after being threatened with expulsion by her school's principal for having painted nails and dyed hair. Aynaz's funeral was held on October 31, 2024. It's crucial to clarify that the laws and attitudes of the clerical regime do not represent Iranian or Islamic culture. The National Council of Resistance of Iran has called for an end to all forms of discrimination and coercion against women in Iran. The NCRI 12-point plan promises adherence to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women passed by the UN General Assembly in December 1993.>>

Pakhshan Azizi - Golrokh Iraee
Medyanews - November 8, 2024
<<Iran: Death row prisoner Pakhshan Azizi's cellmates demand justice for her
Seven inmates of Iran's Evin Prison have written a letter in defence of Kurdish women's rights activist Pakhshan Azizi, who has been sentenced to death in Iran, highlighting the unlawfulness and injustice of Azizi's sentence. Seven inmates of Iran's Evin Prison have written a letter in defence of Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish women's rights activist imprisoned alongside them, who was sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court in Tehran on 23 July for membership of the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK). In the letter, her cell mates raise her case and highlight the unlawful and baseless trial that led to Pakhshan Azizi's conviction. They argue that her humanitarian work in North and East Syria "providing humanitarian aid to war victims” is "not a crime". As they explain, “it is commendable to be present in war zones and provide aid to war-affected women and children, while enduring the dangers of areas surrounded by ISIS forces. The response should not be a death sentence". The letter was first published on Iranian human rights defender and writer Golrokh Iraee's X (formerly Twitter) account. Iraee has been imprisoned in Evin Prison since 26 September 2022.
Read a translation of the full letter below:
"Humanitarian aid to war victims is not a crime.
Being present in war zones and providing assistance to women and children affected by war, and bearing the risks of being in areas surrounded by ISIS forces, is something that should be praised. The response to this should not be a death sentence. For about a year, we have been sharing a cell with Pakhshan Azizi, a social worker and activist in the field of jineology. After months of solitary confinement, interrogation, and torture, she was transferred to the women's ward of Evin Prison. In July of the previous year, in a show court, without meeting with her lawyer in the days leading up to the trial and without the opportunity to defend herself, she was sentenced to death on the base of false accusations. It has been five months since she has been deprived of contact with her lawyers and family. Even now, while her case has been sent to the Supreme Court (Divan Ali) for review, she is still deprived of the right to meet with her lawyers and consult with them. Pakhshan spent many years of her life providing humanitarian aid in refugee camps to women and children who had survived ISIS attacks. After returning to Iran and reuniting with her family, she was arrested along with several family members. Issuing a death sentence for a social worker who dedicated herself to helping the victims of ISIS - whom the Islamic Republic itself claims to fight against – and putting more pressure on her and her family by restricting her basic rights in prison is not without ulterior motives. We are deeply concerned about the consequences of this sentence. A sentence that we see as a response to the uprising of women against what has been unjustly imposed on them.
Your reaction, before it is too late, will be effective.

Executions of Women
NCRI - November 8, 2024
<<Lakan Prison in Rasht: Execution of a Woman Amid Unprecedented Rise in Female Executions in Iran
At dawn on Thursday, November 7, 2024, two prisoners, including one woman, were hanged at Lakan Prison in Rasht, the capital of Gilan province in northern Iran. The identity of the executed woman in Lakan Prison has not been disclosed. Both prisoners were reportedly convicted on drug-related charges. As of this report's publication, state-run media within Iran has not announced the execution of these two prisoners.
25 women executed in 2024
The Iranian regime is the world's top record holder of executions of women.
According to the data recorded by the NCRI Women's Committee, at least 254 women have been executed in Iran since 2007.
The number of women executed in Iran has sharply increased over the past year, with 33 executions of women recorded between October 2023 and October 2024. This marks a troubling rise from previous years, up from 19 women executed in 2022-2023 and 21 in 2021-2022. The current year's figure is particularly alarming, surpassing the average rate of 21 executions under Ebrahim Raisi by 12 and more than double the annual average of 15 under former president Hassan Rouhani. Given the clandestine nature of executions and the lack of public announcement by the judiciary, it is evident that the actual number is higher than reported. This surge underscores the Iranian regime's growing use of capital punishment, including against women-an escalation in human rights abuses now seen under the administration of Masoud Pezeshkian.
The total number of executions in Iran in 2024 has surpassed 740, so far, with more than 450 prisoners including 14 women executed since Pezeshkian took office. It further proves that regardless of who holds the presidency, the rights of the Iranian people, especially women, continue to be trampled.>>

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - November 10, 2024
<<The prison sentence of Kurdish political prisoner, Ahmedreza Haeri extended Under Pressure from IRGC Intelligence in Ghezel Hesar Prison, Karaj
The prison sentence of Kurdish political prisoner Ahmedreza Haeri, a resident of Ilam who is serving a three-year and eight-month sentence, has been extended to six years and three months under direct pressure from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intelligence. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Tehran's Branch 36 Court of Appeals has extended Ahmedreza Haeri's imprisonment by two years and seven months. Haeri, who is currently imprisoned in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, has now been given a total applicable prison sentence of four years. Haeri's Instagram page described the issuance of this new sentence, along with the year-long concealment of its announcement, as an attempt to hinder his retrial process and prevent his potential release. The report goes on to say that an IRGC intelligence letter attached to Haeri's file, which was submitted to the judiciary, claims that his statements about "torture, mock executions, and human rights violations against executed prisoners" have contributed to international human rights sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran. On May 19, 2024, Haeri was moved from the general ward of Ghezel Hesar Prison to solitary confinement. In September 2022, he was sentenced by Tehran's Revolutionary Court to three years and eight months in prison on charges of <assembly and collusion against national security,> as well as an additional eight months for <propaganda against the state.> Under Iran's Islamic Penal Code, his sentence was capped at a maximum of three years and eight months. On May 10, 2023, he was taken into custody to serve his sentence, initially held at Evin Prison, and in September 2023, he and twelve other political prisoners were transferred to Ghezel Hesar and placed in the high-risk offenders' ward. In July 2023, following a complaint filed against him by Tehran's Prison Organization during his imprisonment, Tehran's Criminal Court 2 sentenced him to three months and one day for <assembly and collusion against national security.> Haeri had also previously been arrested in July 2022 by security forces, and he was released from Evin Prison in August of the same year on bail of one billion tomans.>>

<<Bushehr: arrest of Mohsen Omrani, Teachers' Union activist, to serve prison sentence
Mohsen Omrani, a member of the Bushehr Province Teachers' Union, was detained and transferred to the central prison in Bushehr to serve a six-month prison sentence after being summoned to the First Branch of the Criminal Enforcement Office of the Bushehr Prosecutor's Office. According to a report received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Sunday, November 10, 2024, Mohsen Omrani, a teacher from Bushehr, was arrested and transferred to the city's central prison following his appearance at the enforcement office to carry out his sentence. Omrani's court hearing on charges related to his union activities had been held earlier, on July 3, 2024. In July 2024, the Bushehr Revolutionary Court sentenced Omrani to one year in prison on charges of <propaganda against the state> for his social media posts. However, in September, the Bushehr Appeals Court reduced this sentence to six months.
