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.

Pakhshan Azizi
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.

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - November 6, 2024
<<Pakhshan Azizi, with her visitation rights still denied, awaits Supreme Court ruling
Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish political prisoner sentenced to death, has been deprived of in-person visits with family members and her lawyers for the past 125 days. Her case was referred to the Supreme Court around twenty days ago. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Pakhshan Azizi, a political prisoner from Mahabad currently held in Evin Prison, has awaited the Supreme Court's ruling for 125 days. This period of deprivation coincides with the second round of Iran’s 14th presidential elections. A source close to Azizi's family stated that, in addition to being denied in-person visits for the past four months, she was also prohibited from making phone calls until three weeks ago. Meanwhile, her lawyers, Amir Raeisian and Maziar Tataei, are continuing efforts to secure a meeting with her. On Wednesday, 14 August 2024, Pakhshan Azizi was sentenced to death on charges of <baghi> (rebellion). Later, a separate case was opened against her in Branch 3 of the Evin Prosecutor's Office under the charge of <instigating prison unrest,> for which she received an additional six-month prison sentence. It is noteworthy that Pakhshan Azizi was arrested by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence on 4 August 2023 in the Kharazi neighborhood of Tehran. She was initially held in Ward 209 of Evin Prison, known as the Intelligence Detention Facility, before being transferred to the women's ward of Evin on 11 December 2023. Azizi was previously arrested on 16 November 2009 during a protest by Kurdish students at the University of Tehran against the execution of political prisoners in Kurdistan. She was ultimately released on 19 March 2010, after four months in detention, posting bail of 100 million tomans. Afterward, facing persistent pressure and threats from security agencies, Pakhshan Azizi left Iran. She later engaged in research on the status of women in Iraqi Kurdistan and Syrian Kurdistan, working as a social worker to improve their living conditions.>>

Pakhshan Azizi, Varisheh Moradi, Narges Mohammadi, Mahboubeh Rezai, and Parivash Moslemi
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 22 Sept 2024
<<Evin, Tehran, Iran: Five Female Political Prisoners Sentenced to 27 Months of Imprisonment
Pakhshan Azizi, Varisheh Moradi, Narges Mohammadi, Mahboubeh Rezai, and Parivash Moslemi, five political prisoners held in Evin Prison, have been sentenced to an additional total of 27 months and one day of imprisonment in connection with a case opened due to the women's ward protest against the execution of Reza Rasaei. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Pakhshan Azizi, Varisheh Moradi, Narges Mohammadi, Mahboubeh Rezai, and Parivash Moslemi were recently sentenced to 27 months and one day of imprisonment by the Branch 2 Criminal Court of Quds Judicial Complex in Tehran, presided over by Judge Abolfazl Amiri Shahrabi. The case charged them with <assaulting an officer and defiance.> The verdict was communicated to them on Saturday, October 18, 2024. As per the ruling, Pakhshan Azizi, a political prisoner sentenced to death, and Varisheh Moradi, a political prisoner accused of rebellion, were each sentenced to six months in prison, while Narges Mohammadi and Mahboubeh Rezai were also sentenced to six months each, and Parivash Moslemi received three months and one day. In total, the five women were sentenced to 27 months and one day of imprisonment. According to informed sources, Parivash Moslemi was acquitted of the charge of <disrupting prison order,> and the other prisoners were acquitted of <property damage.> Parivash Moslemi was present in court, while the other prisoners refused to attend the session. It is worth noting that this case was opened on August 6 following a protest by several female prisoners in Evin against the execution of Reza Rasaei's death sentence, who had been arrested during the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, which led to a confrontation with the prison guards. As a result, these prisoners were temporarily stripped of their right to make phone calls and meet with their families by the prison's disciplinary committee.>>

<<Letter from Pakhshan Azizi: The philosophy of Jin, Jiyan, Azadi is a philosophy of life
"The philosophy of Jin, Jiyan, Azadi is a philosophy of life," said Pakhshan Azizi in a letter from Evin prison, marking the second anniversary of the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" uprising in Iran.
News Center- Journalist Pakhshan Azizi, who was sentenced to death on July 23, 2024 and imprisoned in Evin prison, sent a letter from Evin prison on the second anniversary of the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" uprising that sparked in Iran and Rojhilat following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran's so-called <morality police> in Tehran. "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi is a philosophy of life," Pakhshan Azizi said in the letter, vowing to strengthen the women's struggle for freedom.
'The 21st century will be the century of women's revolution'
Pakhshan Azizi pointed to women's leading role in society, stressing that the social role of men should be redefined and there is no happiness for both sexes until gender equality is achieved. "The struggle for gender-based equality is an ethical-political struggle against sexism that has become a tool of governments," her letter said, stressing that the 21st century will be "the century of women's revolution."
'People are determined to ensure freedom'
Under current conditions, redesigning and reforming existing systems is insufficient to ensure freedom, Pakhshan Azizi stressed in her letter. "The systems must be completely changed. Women's Revolution is not an action for reform, but for a radical, theoretical and scientific action. As women, we have common sense and language. We are capable of making radical and comprehensive changes if we fight against the patriarchal mindset together, in solidarity with each other."
'The philosophy of Jin, Jiyan, Azadi is not a philosophy of death but of life'
"Ignoring women is an ideological approach and that a strong ideological struggle should be waged against it," Pakhshan Azizi said, emphasizing that sexism, scientism, religionism and nationalism target the whole society by targeting women. "The philosophy of Jin, Jiyan, Azadi is not a philosophy of death but of life. It is a scientific revolution actualized by Jineology. This philosophy embraced by people must not be allowed to be deflected at any price. For our revolutionary martyrs, we should build a society that creates democratic families, preserves its culture, and has revolutionary consciousness." >>
