Maryam Yahyavi

<<Maryam Yahyavi deprived of her right to make phone calls for 77
days
Iranian political prisoner Maryam Sadat Yahyavi has been deprived
of her right to make phone calls since she expressed her support to
Pakhshan Azizi in a letter.
News Center- Maryam Sadat Yahyavi, an activist and political
prisoner imprisoned in Evin prison, has been deprived of her right to
make phone calls for 77 days for publishing a letter outside the prison
to support political prisoner Pakhshan Azizi, who was sentenced to death
on July 23, 2024.
Maryam Sadat Yahyavi has been banned from family visits since
August 16, 2024. On November 2, 2014, Maryam Sadat Yahyavi was arrested
at her home by Iranian security forces. After 17 days of detention in
Evin Prison, she was released on bail. Then, the Revolutionary Court of
Tehran sentenced her to nine years in prison on charges such as
<spreading propaganda against the regime> and <assembly and collusion
against national security>. Her prison sentence was later reduced to one
year following an appeal. On March 3, 2024, she began to serve her
one-year prison sentence in Evin prison following her appearance at Evin
Courthouse.>>

NO to executions Tuesdays
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - Oct 22, 2024
<<The Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz has joined the No To Execution
Wednesdays" campaign in its 39th week
As we mark the anniversary of the 2022 protests and the deaths of
those involved, along with the deepening internal and external crises of
the government, we continue to witness a rapid and widespread increase
in executions. In October alone, over 140 people have been executed,
five of them women. According to reports from the past week, about 35
people have been executed, with 17 executed on a single day, October 16.
In another act of repression, four Arab political prisoners in Sheiban
Prison, Ahvaz, have been transferred to solitary confinement for
execution, and their lives are in grave danger. In response to these
inhumane rulings, a group of political prisoners in Sheiban Prison has
issued a statement announcing their support for the "No to Execution
Wednesdays" campaign. The campaign condemns these systematic executions
and calls on all activists, political, civil, labor, and human rights
organizations, as well as all conscious individuals inside and outside
Iran, to stand against these repressive measures. Opposing death
sentences and their enforcement must become a social demand. This will
only be achieved through resistance, solidarity, and collective will.
Together, we can stop this killing machine and dismantle the foundation
of these inhumane rulings in our country. Members of the "No to
Execution Wednesdays" campaign are on hunger strike on Tuesday, October
22, 2024, marking the 39th week of this campaign across 23 different
prisons, with a group of striking prisoners participating in the hunger
strike in the following prisons:
Evin Prison (women's ward, 4 and 8), Ghezel Hesar (wards 3 and
4), Central Karaj , Tehran Bozorg , Khorramabad , Arak , Esfahan's
Asadabad , Shiraz Military , Bam , Mashhad , Lakan Prison in Rasht
(men's and women's wards), Qaemshahr , Ardabil , Tabriz , Urmia , Salmas
, Khoy , Naqadeh , Saqqez , Baneh , Marivan , Kamyaran , and Sheiban
Prison in Ahvaz.

Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - Oct 22, 2024
<<Sina Saraeefard Shirazi, Iranian Gay Blogger and Asylum Seeker,
Faces Imminent Risk of Deportation from Turkey to Iran
Sina Saraeefard Shirazi, a 27-year-old gay Iranian blogger
residing in Denizli, Turkey, is at imminent risk of deportation to Iran.
Given the criminalization of homosexuality in Iran, deportation would
place him in severe danger, potentially exposing him to imprisonment,
torture, or even execution. According to reports received by Hengaw
Organization for Human Rights, Sina, who has been seeking asylum in
Turkey, was served a final deportation order on September 26, 2024. This
order was issued by a Turkish court citing the pretext of <disrupting
public order.> Sina, an outspoken member of the queer community and a
blogger active on Instagram, began his advocacy following the "Jin,
Jiyan, Azadi" movement, aiming to raise awareness about LGBTQIA+ rights
in both Iran and Turkey. Tragically, 14 months ago, he was sexually
assaulted by an Islamist in Turkey, resulting in severe physical and
psychological trauma. Hengaw has verified the hospital records
documenting Sina’s treatment following the assault. Sina and his
partner, also a gay Iranian man, have been living in precarious
conditions in Turkey. Speaking to Hengaw, Sina explained, "My partner
and I face extreme hardships here. As a Bahá’í and a gay man, my partner
is constantly at risk of persecution. I, too, have been repeatedly
threatened-both directly and through threats to my family-by agents of
the Islamic Republic. After the sexual assault I endured, I was again
targeted, along with someone who sheltered me when I fled from the
police. Many Iranian asylum seekers, particularly queer individuals, are
living in fear, and the police here often cooperate with Islamist
factions or Iranian agents in harassing us. I am in constant fear for my
life, and now, with the looming threat of deportation, the danger has
escalated even further." Conditions for Iranian asylum seekers,
especially those from marginalized communities such as the LGBTQIA+
community, have worsened in Turkey. Although homosexuality is not
criminalized in Turkey, LGBTQIA+ individuals frequently face harassment
and violence. Public queer gatherings are often disrupted by state
authorities, and the Turkish government has empowered traditionalist and
Islamist groups to act against sexual and gender minorities. In recent
months, Turkish authorities have tightened residency requirements for
Iranian asylum seekers and increasingly initiated deportations,
including for those at risk of persecution or execution in Iran. The
Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the few countries that criminalizes
same-sex relations, with penalties as extreme as the death sentence.
LGBTQIA+ individuals in Iran face systemic oppression, with punishments
ranging from flogging to execution for charges related to <sodomy,>
<corruption on earth,> and <promoting homosexuality.> These laws
function as tools of state-sanctioned violence against gender and sexual
minorities. Hengaw expresses grave concern over the potential
deportation of Sina Saraeefard Shirazi and underscores that the laws and
punishments targeting sexual and gender minorities in Iran amount to
clear violations of human rights and constitute what can only be
described as gender and sexual apartheid. Hengaw calls on the
international community to intervene to prevent the deportation of Sina
and his partner, as well as to protect the rights of LGBTQIA+ asylum
seekers globally.>>

Ten Baha'i women sentenced
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - Oct 20, 2024
<<Iran: Ten Baha'i women sentenced to a total of 90 Years in
prison in Isfahan
Ten Baha'i women residing in Isfahan, identified as Shana Shoghi-Far,
Negin Khademi, Neda Emadi, Neda Badakhsh, Arezu Sobhaniyan, Yeganeh
Rouh-Bakhsh, Mozhgan Shahrezaei, Parastoo Hakim, Yeganeh Agahi, and
Bahareh Lotfi, have been collectively sentenced to 90 years in prison,
along with additional punishments by the judiciary of Islamic Republic
of Iran. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for
Human Rights, the First Branch of the Isfahan Revolutionary Court
recently sentenced Negin Khademi (34), Shana Shoghi-Far (27), Yeganeh
Agahi (31), Parastoo Hakim (47), Mozhgan Shahrezaei (32), Yeganeh
Rouh-Bakhsh (19), Arezu Sobhaniyan (48), and Neda Badaksh (60) each to
10 years of imprisonment and fines of 100 million tomans. Bahareh Lotfi
(27) and Neda Emadi (42) were each sentenced to 5 years of imprisonment
and fines of 50 million tomans. Due to the security-sensitive nature of
the case, the verdict was delivered to the women in person.
Additionally, all ten individuals have been banned from traveling abroad
and prohibited from using social media as part of their supplementary
punishments. Hengaw had earlier reported that these ten Baha'i adherents
faced charges of <propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran> and
<engaging in educational activities contrary to Islamic law.> The
alleged activities include organizing language courses, yoga, nature
tours, music, painting, and language courses for children.
The ten women were originally arrested by security forces on
October 23, 2023. Subsequently, they were released on bail over a
two-month period while awaiting the conclusion of their legal
proceedings.>>

<<Saqqez, Iran: Abdollah Sharifzadeh arrested to serve prison
term
Abdollah Sharifzadeh, a Kurdish individual and a member of the
'Halo Mountaineering Group' in Saqqez, has been arrested and transferred
to the central prison of this city. According to a report received by

Mostafaei, to 10 months of imprisonment. He was charged with <propaganda
against the state in favor of the Democratic Party of Iranian
Kurdistan,> through his activities on social media. Hengaw had
previously reported that Sharifzadeh's appeal to overturn the verdict
was rejected by the Revolutionary Court of Sanandaj. Following the
issuance of the verdict, security forces repeatedly raided his home and
workplace. It is worth mentioning that Sharifzadeh was first arrested by

he was released pending the completion of his legal proceedings.>>
