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.

Iran Human Rights - December 5, 2024
<<Narges Mohammadi's Temporary Medical Release is Grossly Insufficient
International Community Must Campaign Vigorously to Prevent Her Return to Prison
Permanent and Unconditional Release of Nobel Peace Laureate Is Critical
Narges Mohammadi, the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and renowned Iranian human rights defender, has been granted a 21-day medical release from Evin Prison by the Iranian authorities, after repeated denials and delays in receiving critical medical care. This temporary release falls drastically short of what is just and necessary-her permanent and unconditional freedom, the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) said in a statement today.
"The Iranian authorities have unlawfully imprisoned Narges Mohammadi for the same actions that earned her the Nobel Peace Prize-her tireless advocacy for human rights," said Hadi Ghaemi, CHRI executive director. "The international community must not allow the Iranian authorities to return this brave woman-who has continued to be a leading voice for human rights in Iran even while behind bars-to prison," Ghaemi said. Ms. Mohammadi's family and legal team demanded a minimum three-month release to allow her adequate time to recover and receive proper medical care following a recent surgery to address a potentially cancerous bone lesion in her right leg. A 21-day release is grossly insufficient and inadequate given her serious condition and urgent need for comprehensive medical attention. Ms. Mohammadi should have never been imprisoned in the first place, and her continued imprisonment for her peaceful advocacy of basic civil and political rights is a grave violation of her legal rights, justice, and the fundamental human rights guaranteed to every individual. She is serving over 30 years of unjust sentences, based on fabricated charges directly tied to her tireless advocacy. As the international community considers the prospect of negotiations with the Islamic Republic, the human rights crisis in Iran must be pursued simultaneously as a parallel and equally prioritized track. The unacceptable plight of the many political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in Iran, who, like Narges Mohammadi, have been unlawfully placed behind bars for the peaceful expression of their views or beliefs, should not be sidelined, but rather continuously pressed by the international community, and their release should be persistently demanded.>>

Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi chanted the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" slogan when she was temporarily released from Evin prison on Wednesday to undergo medical treatment.
News Center- Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi, a human rights defender imprisoned in Evin prison, was released from jail for three weeks on medical grounds on Wednesday. Following her temporary release, a video was posted on her Instagram account. In the footage, she shouts "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi (English: Women, Life, Freedom)", the slogan of the popular uprising that sparked in Iran and Rojhilat Kurdistan in 2022, following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran's so-called <morality police>. On November 16, 2024, Narges Mohammadi was taken back to prison after undergoing a surgery to remove a tumour in her right leg.>>

Iranwire - Dec 4, 2024
<<Narges Mohammadi Temporarily Released for Medical Treatment
Narges Mohammadi, a prominent human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been temporarily released from prison for three weeks, her lawyer said. The Tehran prosecutor's office suspended her sentence based on a forensic medical opinion following her recent surgery to remove a tumor and undergo a bone graft. Mustafa Nili said that Mohammadi, who suffers from heart disease, a breast tumor, and chronic back pain, was released due to her critical medical condition. "Considering the forensic medical opinion, the Tehran prosecutor's office has suspended the sentence of Mrs. Narges Mohammadi for three weeks, and she has been released from prison," Nili said. He added, "The reason for this is her physical condition after surgery to remove a tumor and a bone graft, which was performed 21 days ago." According to IranWire sources, following Mohammadi's release for medical leave, Motahareh Goonehi and Vida Rabani, who had been on a hunger strike to protest the denial of medical care for fellow prisoner Mohammadi, ended their strike. Previously, Mohammadi had been repeatedly denied transfers to medical centers for health checks.
Over 70 political and social activists issued a strong condemnation of the authorities' actions, warning that the continued refusal of medical care was leading to Mohammadi's "silent death." The activists emphasized that her case exemplifies a broader crisis affecting numerous political and civil prisoners in Iran. On October 24, her cellmates protested the denial of medical access. In a letter, they disclosed that despite a September directive for angioplasty, three letters from her specialist, and urgent requests from both the prison doctor and the head of Evin prison's medical team, authorities blocked her transfer, citing <higher-level directives.> Mohammadi, a prominent figure in Iran's human rights movement, has spent ten of the past fourteen years in prison.>>

Center for Human Rights in Iran - 18 November 2024
<<Joint letter: Nobel Peace Laureate Urgently Needs Essential Medical Care for Serious Health Problems
In a joint letter released today, the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) and 43 human rights organizations in the Free Narges Coalition urgently call on the UN Human Rights Council to intervene for the immediate medical release of Iranian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Narges Mohammadi
Narges Mohammadi, forced to endure over a decade in and out of prison on baseless political charges, has repeatedly faced medical neglect. Most recently, she was returned to Evin Prison just two days after undergoing complex surgery to remove a suspected cancerous lesion in her leg-a procedure involving a bone graft-against her doctor's advice and legal requests for a medical furlough and sentence suspension to ensure proper care.
"Prison authorities' withholding of essential medical treatment from Mohammadi displays a callous disregard for her health and wellbeing," the coalition stated. As Iran undergoes its Universal Periodic Review, the coalition is demanding that Iranian authorities grant Mohammadi a medical furlough on humanitarian grounds and uphold the rights of all unjustly detained human rights defenders. "We, the undersigned organizations, are making an urgent call for her full and unconditional release as she should not be in prison in the first place, and in the interim, to be granted an immediate medical furlough on humanitarian grounds, given the precarious state of her health and her need for comprehensive care," the coalition added. CHRI strongly echoes the coalition's call for Mohammadi's immediate and unconditional release and urges the UN Human Rights Council to pressure Iranian authorities to respect and protect the rights of all detainees.
Read the full letter below:
Free Narges Coalition and Partners Urge UN Human Rights Council to Intervene for Narges Mohammadi's Urgent Medical Release
To the United Nations Human Rights Council,
We, the undersigned free expression and human rights organizations, write to you in response to the recent news that jailed Iranian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Narges Mohammadi is in urgent need of medical care. Ahead of Iran's review under the UN Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism, which takes place over the next two months in Geneva, we urge you to call on the Iranian authorities to grant Mohammadi a medical furlough on humanitarian grounds so that she is able to receive comprehensive and essential care for a range of serious medical conditions.
Mohammadi, a woman human rights defender, journalist, author, and former deputy director and spokesperson of the Defenders of Human Rights Centre (DHRC) in Iran, has spent more than 10 years of her life in prison, with her current period of detention starting in November 2021. She is currently serving sentences totalling 13 years and nine months in prison, on charges including committing <propaganda activity against the state> and <collusion against state security.> An internationally renowned writer and activist, she is the recipient of numerous international awards for her tireless struggle for human rights, including the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize, the 2023 UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize, the 2023 PEN/Barbey Freedom to Write Award, and the 2022 Reporters Without Borders Prize for Courage. Mohammadi's health has deteriorated drastically during her long incarceration, most notably in 2022, when she suffered multiple heart attacks before ultimately being transferred to hospital for emergency heart surgery. In early October 2024, Mohammadi's family expressed serious concerns regarding repeated refusals by Evin prison officials to transfer her to a hospital for appointments to carry out an angiography, an intervention that was prescribed by her cardiologist in March; she was finally allowed to attend an appointment on October 27, 2024. On November 3, her lawyer announced that during her recent medical visit, doctors discovered a bone lesion in her right leg suspected of being cancerous. Although Mohammadi underwent surgery to remove part of the bone in her lower leg, including a bone graft, on November 14, she was transferred back to prison after only two days, against her doctor's advice and another request from her legal team that she be granted a medical furlough and sentence suspension. Years of imprisonment and months of solitary confinement have severely compromised Mohammadi's health, leaving her with multiple serious conditions that cannot be addressed through a short, incomplete hospital visit. Prison authorities' withholding of essential urgent medical treatment from Mohammadi displays a callous disregard for her health and wellbeing under detention. Worryingly, her case is not unique, but is part of a systematic pattern of arbitrary medical neglect of prisoners, including human rights defenders, journalists, and writers. In a particularly egregious example, poet and filmmaker Baktash Abtin died in state custody in January 2022 after delays in being provided with timely medical care. The news of Mohammadi's deteriorating medical condition comes amid a current wave of denying medical care to multiple prisoners of conscience in Iran, particularly less well-known detainees. We echo the recent call from 22 prisoners in the women's ward of Evin Prison, in which they hold the Iranian government and judiciary responsible for creating the conditions whereby the lives of prisoners are put at grave risk, and appeal to international human rights stakeholders in joining them to push for change. As Mohammadi marks the third anniversary of her unjust detention on November 16, we, the undersigned organizations, are making an urgent call for her full and unconditional release as she should not be in prison in the first place, and in the interim, to be granted an immediate medical furlough on humanitarian grounds, given the precarious state of her health and her need for comprehensive care. In addition, we urge that Iranian authorities stop the criminalization of human rights, and refrain from summoning human rights defenders, journalists, and writers to serve their prison sentences while their health situation is precarious. We urge the UN Human Rights Council to ensure that the Iranian government commits to implementing without delay a recommendation that it accepted during the last UPR cycle five years ago, namely to ensure that "all individuals in custody receive adequate health care and treatment, including preventive measures, such as screening for medical conditions, free of charge and without discrimination." Finally, we reiterate our broader call that all those unjustly detained for their human rights work, including expression, be immediately and unconditionally released, and urge the UN Human Rights Council and national and international stakeholders to join us in pressing the Iranian authorities to uphold the basic human rights of all Iranians, especially those who are being prosecuted for their human rights work.
Sincerely,>>
