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.

Kianoosh Sanjari funeral
Iranwire - Nov 15, 2024
<<Iran Restricts Funeral Attendance for Journalist Kianoosh Sanjari
The Islamic Republic's security forces restricted access to the funeral of journalist Kianoosh Sanjari at Tehran's Behesht Zahra cemetery. They limited attendance to only close family members and relatives after Sanjari's suicide on Wednesday evening. His death was a protest against the imprisonment of political activists and what he called "the dictatorship of Ali Khamenei." The funeral, initially scheduled for 10 a.m., underwent last-minute changes following what sources described as pressure and threats from security officials directed at Sanjari's family. Local sources reported that authorities closed Section 250 of the cemetery and blocked public access to the burial site. Social media footage also captured a significant security forces presence around Sanjari's grave. The day before his death, Sanjari posted an ultimatum on X to Iran's judiciary, demanding the release of several political prisoners, including Fatemeh Sepehri, Nasrin Shakarami, Toomaj Salehi, and Arsham Rezaei, by 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
Sanjari had a long history of activism and journalism. He served as a journalist for Voice of America in Washington and faced multiple imprisonments in Iran for his work. After spending several years in the United States, Sanjari returned to Iran in 2016, where he was immediately arrested and sentenced to 11 years in prison - five of those years to be served immediately, with six years suspended. His sentence also included a two-year travel ban. Sanjari left Iran for the United States in March 2021 but later returned to Iran.>>

<<Four IRGC Members Killed in Southeastern Iran
Four members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed in extended clashes with the Jaish ul-Adl group in Iran's southeastern Sistan and Baluchistan province. The clash, which local media reported lasted around ten hours, occurred in Jalalabad village in Sarbaz district.
According to the IRGC, four Jaish ul-Adl fighters were killed and six arrested in the confrontation. Jaish ul-Adl confirmed three casualties within its ranks and claimed to have inflicted military casualties on the IRGC. Baluch media outlets reported that the clashes began when IRGC forces targeted a house allegedly occupied by armed individuals. They also reported that local civilians were fired upon, with some residents arrested during the operation. The clash follows recent IRGC operations in the region. On November 8, the IRGC reported one personnel death, and on November 10, it confirmed five <local Basij forces> casualties in Saravan. Sistan and Baluchistan have experienced increased violence in recent weeks, with multiple clashes reported between Iranian security forces and opposition groups, particularly Jaish ul-Adl, resulting in casualties on both sides. The southeastern province, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, has long been a hotspot for conflict between Iranian security forces and armed groups. Jaish ul-Adl is recognized as a terrorist group by Iranian authorities and several Western governments, including the United States.>>

Rukiye Muhammed
Jinha - Womens News Agency 14 Nov 2024 - by SILVA AL-IBRAHIM
<<'We must turn the 21st century into a century of Jin,Jiyan, Azadi'
The Third World War has been taking place in the Middle East, said Rukiye Muhammed, member of the Zenubiya Women's Community, stressing that women are no longer "victims of war" but lead revolutions.
Manbij- The violent conflicts in the Middle East have intensified, turning into the Third World War. Although women and children are the most affected by these conflicts, they are completely ignored by the media. Women struggle to overcome challenges faced by them amid conflicts, said Rukiye Muhammed, coordinating members of the Zenubiya Women's Community. "Women play an active role in ending conflicts and building peace."
Call on women to unite
"Women living in the Middle Eastern countries such as Lebanon, Palestine, North and East Syria, and Iran have experienced the same things," Rukiye Muhammed said. "If women unite, they can build global peace. Despite all kinds of oppression, restrictions, women always rise like a phoenix from the ashes. For instance, women in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan started the "Jin,Jiyan, Azadi" revolution following the killing of Jina Amini."
Recalling the genocide committed by ISIS against the Yazidi community in Shengal (Sinjar), Rukiye Muhammed said, "Yazidi women were abducted, raped and sold in slave markets. But today, Yazidi women have participated in all facets of life, including politics and military. They have their own defense force and protect their people from a new genocide."
'Women are no longer victims of war'
Women in North and East Syria were subjected to the atrocity of ISIS, Ruken Muhammed said, "Many women were killed and stoned by ISIS. But today, these women participate in politics and the military to serve their people. These women are no longer victims of war, they fight to protect their people and build peace."
'The aim is to change the demographic structure'
Speaking about the ongoing Turkish attacks on North and East Syria, Ruken Muhammed criticized the international silence against the attacks. "The aim of these attacks is to change the demographic structure of the region. The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East kill and displace women and children. Women struggle to survive in silence."
Women's participation in peace processes
Rukiye Muhammed calls on women to participate in peace processes because "this is not a situation that men can solve. If women participate in peace processes, peace will become permanent. As women, we should break the patriarchy and bring peace and security to the Middle East. We must turn the 21st century into a century of Jin,Jiyan, Azadi." >>

Yamani followers arrested
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - November 13, 2024
<<Six Yamani followers arrested in Torbat-e Heydariyeh
Six residents of Torbat-e Heydariyeh-identified as Hossein Newruzi, Rasoul Darat, Esmail Esmailzadeh, Hossein Hendabadi, Saeed Zakari, and Mojtaba Esmailzadeh-who are followers of the Yamani movement, were arrested by security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Monday, November 11, 2024, agents from the Intelligence Ministry conducted coordinated raids on the residences of these individuals. The agents carried out extensive searches of their homes and conducted the arrests with the use of force. The prosecutor of Torbat-e Heydariyeh stated that the detainees were apprehended on charges of promoting <Mahdist beliefs> and recruiting young people through social media. It is noteworthy that these individuals have previously faced detention and convictions due to their religious activities. As of this report, there is no precise information regarding their current whereabouts or condition. The Yamani movement, led by Ahmad al-Hassan al-Yamani, is a Shia sect that emphasizes the imminent return of the Hidden Imam and the establishment of justice. Originally based in Iraq, the movement has gained followers in Iran, particularly among those engaged with eschatological teachings. The Iranian government has expressed concern over such movements, viewing them as potential threats to national security and religious orthodoxy.>>

Cartoon: Mana Neyestani - hijab clinics in Iran
Iranwire - Nov 13, 2024 - by Solmaz Eikdar
Iran to Establish 'Hijab Clinics' for Women Defying Mandatory Headscarf Laws
Iranian authorities in Tehran have announced plans to establish a <hijab clinic> for women who defy mandatory hijab laws. The plan comes from the Tehran Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice Headquarters, a government body that enforces religious morality standards. According to Mehri Talebi, head of the organization’s Women's and Family Department, the <clinic> will formalize and expand <existing services that have been operating on a volunteer basis.> <For some time, our experts in chastity and hijab have been providing services to visitors through a phone line and basic equipment,> Talebi said. The decision to expand came in response to what she described as <increased demand.> Talebi explained that the <clinic> will offer individual counseling, group sessions, and skill-building workshops focused on self-awareness, identity, and handling social pressures. She said that the <clinic> aims to provide guidance and mental support for those who choose to wear the hijab or face challenges adapting in certain settings, helping them <confidently embrace modest clothing.> Programs at this <clinic> will include educational courses led by <experts on the philosophy and values of hijab,> its role in <reinforcing personal identity, and skills for coping with social pressures.> Talebi also invited <cultural activists and heads of cultural and social institutions> to participate in the <clinic.>
Who is Mehri Talebi?
Talebi, now head of the Women's and Family Department at the Tehran Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice Headquarters, was previously known for her interviews with government-affiliated media as a women's affairs official in the IRGC's cultural division and as a researcher from religious seminaries. She gained attention on Twitter after the November 2019 protests, presenting the government's version of events in Mahshahr, where she is from. An advocate of child marriage, Talebi's daughter and son-in-law, Kowsar and Hossein, are a well-known couple who married as teenagers and promote child marriage in state media.
