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.

Threatening Hijab
NCRI - Womens committee - 26 Oct 2024 - in Articles, Women's News
<<Threatening Hijab Texts Sent to Women in Isfahan
For several months, some women in Isfahan have been receiving anonymous warning messages regarding their hijab, Shargh Daily reported on October 25, 2024. Sent under the name of the “Provincial Headquarters of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice,” these messages alert women about their hijab in public spaces. Despite already adhering to the hijab, some recipients report they were approached by “hijab monitors” who advised them to cover their hair fully in public transport, particularly on the metro. Ignoring this advice, they later received text messages indicating potential legal action for repeated “non-compliance.”
Legal Threats and a Widening Scope
If recipients overlook these messages, a second warning follows, carrying a sterner tone: “Given repeated appearances without proper legal covering within Isfahan, and disregarding prior warnings, any further instance will be subject to judicial prosecution,” reads the message, credited to the Social Affairs and Crime Prevention Directorate of Isfahan’s Judiciary. In one reported case, a woman claims that a warning was sent to her father’s phone after she neglected a warning from morality patrols, despite wearing a headscarf. Isfahan appears to be the only city currently issuing such warnings, prompting some on social media to humorously dub the region the “Autonomous State of Isfahan.”
Unofficial Implementation of Unratified Law
These actions have raised widespread questions among Isfahan’s residents. Some wonder if they are under constant surveillance and question the legal foundation behind such practices. “Does the Headquarters of Promotion of Virtue have facial recognition cameras?” they ask. “Who authorized this agency with such power, and where did the funds for this technology come from?” While no answers are yet available, online reactions reflect an underlying concern about privacy and arbitrary enforcement. Notably, Iran’s “Hijab and Chastity” Bill was only ratified by the Guardian Council in recent days and has yet to be officially implemented. The bill’s exact protocols on identifying women not adhering to hijab have not been publicly disclosed. Despite the law still awaiting final publication, reports indicate that enforcement measures like text notifications are already in effect in Isfahan, leading to suspicions that proponents of the law have launched it there as a “trial run.”

Legal Ambiguities and Public Reaction
Amir Hossein Bankipour, a proponent of the hijab bill and deputy from Isfahan in the mullahs’ Parliament, recently mentioned that women not observing the hijab will be identified through surveillance cameras, with fines texted directly to their phones. This preemptive enforcement raises legal questions: how did authorities in Isfahan initiate such actions before Parliament even approved the law? And what legal basis allows the Provincial Headquarters to monitor and message women? The hijab law was only approved days ago and its final draft is still unpublished. The last known draft from last year did not contain any provision for such enforcement via text message.
Prior Legal Framework on Hijab
Before the recent bill, the only legal basis concerning hijab was in Article 638 of the Iranian regime’s Penal Code. This article stipulated that women appearing in public without the appropriate religious covering could face imprisonment or fines. However, the Penal Code provided no mechanism for mass surveillance or text-based warnings, highlighting the unprecedented and controversial nature of Isfahan’s new practices. As the hijab bill awaits final publication, Isfahan’s enforcement measures have underscored the intense debate surrounding privacy, legal boundaries, and government oversight, while raising concerns about the unchecked powers of local authorities.>>

<<Iranian Judiciary Targets Instagram Page Administrator for 'Promoting Dance'
The Islamic Republic's judiciary has initiated legal proceedings against an Instagram page administrator for <promoting dance.> Kerman Province’s judiciary deemed the page's activities <inappropriate.> The case concerns tourism-related content that allegedly encouraged alcohol consumption and mixed-gender dancing during tours, according to statements from the Kerman Province Judiciary's information centre. Majid Daneshi, who serves in the Cyber Space Deputy Office of Kerman's Provincial Prosecutor's Office, warned that authorities would pursue cases against those who <disregard moral values and tourism laws> by promoting what officials describe as <vulgarity> in both digital and physical spaces. The prosecution specifically targets what the judiciary characterizes as <norm-breaking> promotional content.>>

<<Iranian Border Guards Set Injured Teen Fuel Carriers' Vehicle on Fire
Two teenage fuel carriers suffered serious injuries from a landmine explosion in Sistan and Baluchistan Province. The victims, identified as Shahram Shahnavazi, 17, and Ali Shahnavazi, 16, sustained neck and arm injuries when they struck an anti-personnel mine while transporting fuel. According to the Hengaw human rights organization, the explosion occurred near border post 122 in the Mirjaveh district. The organization reports that following the explosion, border guards confronted the injured teenagers and set their vehicleon fire. Many young men from the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan, home to Iran's predominantly Sunni ethnic Baluch minority, engage in transporting fuel to Pakistan as a means of livelihood. They are called fuel carriers or 'sookhtbar' in Persian. However, the Iranian government labels them as <smugglers> and treats them harshly, often subjecting them to the same treatment as terrorists. Dozens of fuel carriers are killed or injured by Iranian security forces each year. A 2022 report by Iranian state-affiliated media revealed that at least 168 Baluch fuel carrier drivers have lost their lives on the Iranshahr-Sarbaz road alone.>>

<<Solmaz Hassanzadeh, sister of slain Kurdish protester, sentenced to one year in prison
Solmaz Hassanzadeh, a member of the grieving families advocating for justice, has been sentenced to one year of imprisonment by the judiciary of Islamic Republic of Iran. Solmaz, sister of Mohammad Hassanzadeh, who was killed during the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, was arrested on her late brother's birthday. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Branch 101 of the Bukan Criminal Court recently sentenced Solmaz to one year in prison on charges of <propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran.>. Both Solmaz and her father, Ahmad Hassanzadeh, were arrested on July 30 during an intelligence raid on their home. During the arrest, conducted without a search warrant, the agents reportedly used violence. Solmaz's mother, Dayeh Azimeh, was also reportedly physically assaulted, resulting in injuries that required her hospitalization at Dr. Qoli Pour Hospital in Bukan. Following her arrest, Solmaz went on an eight-day hunger strike in solitary confinement. After 14 days in detention, she was released on bail of 500 million tomans on August 13, pending further proceedings. Solmaz and her father had previously been arrested on September 5, 2023, and she was again arrested on September 26, 2023, along with three friends, while traveling on the Bukan-Saqqez road.>>

Banning students from entering the campus
NCRI - October 29, 2024
<<Amir Kabir University Bars 200 Students Over Dress Code Violations, Some Questioned After Protests
On Monday morning, October 28, 2024, around 200 students were barred from entering Amir Kabir University due to violations of the compulsory dress code, which the university's security enforced. Reports indicate that security personnel stationed at the university's three main entrances-on Hafez, Valiasr, and Rasht streets-blocked these students, preventing them from attending their classes. According to Amir Kabir University's newsletter, some students who protested the restriction were taken to security posts on campus for questioning. A statement from the newsletter noted that this decision followed a recent meeting of the university’s cultural council, in coordination with the Amir Kabir Security Directorate.
This enforcement measure was approved by the university's President Alireza Rahaei and Ahmad Mo'tamedi, the Minister of Science's representative for Amir Kabir University. As of now, no additional information has been released regarding potential disciplinary actions against the protesting students or reactions from the students and their families.>>

Two Baloch men, Abdullah Narouei and Erfan Narouei, were arrested by security forces in Zahedan. Three days have passed, and there has been no information provided regarding their whereabouts. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Friday, October 25, 2024, security forces, including plainclothes officers from the Intelligence department and the Police Investigation Department, raided the homes of Abdullah Narouei, 32, and Erfan Narouei, 35, both residents of Zahedan.

<<Three killed following IRGC drone strikes in Zahedan
Three individuals, one identified as Amirreza Rakhshani, were killed following drone strikes by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the Sarkal region, located in the Kurin district of Zahedan, Sistan- Balouchistan Province. Authorities allege these individuals were members of the group Jaish al-Adl, which recently claimed responsibility for an attack on two police vehicles in the city of Taftan. In addition at least three people have been arrested. According to reports received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, in the early hours of Sunday, October 27, 2024, IRGC drone strikes in the Sarkal region led to the deaths of three individuals, including 23-year-old Amirreza Rakhshani, a resident of Shirabad in Zahedan. The identities of the other two individuals are still under investigation. The Ansar al-Furqan Islamic group issued an official statement confirming that three of its members were killed in the IRGC drone attack while denying the arrest of one of its members. It is worth mentioning that the authorities have claimed that at least three individuals connected to the Kūh Gowhar incident were killed, and one was arrested, in a joint operation by the police and IRGC forces on the group’s base. The identity of the arrested individual has not been disclosed yet. Meanwhile, security forces have arrested several people in Kūh Gowhar in Taftan. The identities of three of those arrested-Ahmad Barahui, Shirmohammad Salarzehi, and Ali Mirbaluchzehi, aged 27-have been confirmed. On Saturday, two police vehicles were attacked at the entrance to the city of Kuh Gowhar, Taftan, resulting in the deaths of 10 member of military forces. Hours after this attack, Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility.>>

<<Flogging sentence of political prisoner, Mohammad Abolhasani, carried out in Qazvin Prison
The inhumane flogging sentence of Mohammad Abolhasani, a political prisoner held in Chubin Dar Prison in Qazvin, has been carried out. He is currently serving the third year of his prison sentence. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Mohammad Abolhasani, a civil rights activist from Qazvin, received the inhumane punishment of 12 lashes on Sunday, October 27, 2024, at Chubin Dar Prison.
In mid-December 2023, Mohammad Abolhasani was sentenced by the Revolutionary Court of Qazvin to three months in prison and 12 lashes, though his prison sentence was later commuted to a fine. In October 2022, a subsequent case against Mohammad Abolhasani led to an additional four-year prison sentence as he was already serving his previous sentence. In February 2021, while Mohammad Abolhasani was serving a prior prison sentence, he received an additional sentence of 15 months of imprisonment and four months of forced labor on charges of <propaganda against the state.> This sentence was issued by Branch 26 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari. On January 1, 2022, Mohammad Abolhasani was transferred to Evin Prison to serve his sentence. On February 6, 2023, he was transferred by violence to Chubin Dar Prison in Qazvin.>>

Nayeb Askari
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - Oct 27, 2024
<<Kurdish political prisoner Nayeb Askari sentenced to 15 years in prison
Nayeb Askari, a Kurdish political prisoner from Urmia who was previously sentenced to death by the judiciary of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has had his death sentence overturned. His case was referred to a parallel branch, resulting in a new sentence of 15 years in prison and a fine, as issued by the Revolutionary Court of Urmia. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Nayeb Askari, 48, who was arrested three years ago and initially sentenced to death, has had his sentence recently revoked. The Second Branch of the Revolutionary Court in Urmia has now sentenced him to 15 years in prison along with a fine for damages to state property. Previously, Nayeb Askari was sentenced to death in absentia by the Revolutionary Court of Urmia on charges of <moharebeh> (enmity against God) due to his membership in the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK). This sentence was officially communicated to his lawyer on April 15, 2023. Later in the same year, his charges were revised from <moharebeh> to <baghi> (armed rebellion), and the court subsequently reissued the death sentence in October. Nayeb Askari had previously been a member of the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK). After separating from the party and receiving a pledge of amnesty from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), he turned himself in to IRGC intelligence in Urmia on March 24, 2021. Five days before this, he had returned to Iran from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq with his family. Hengaw previously reported that the IRGC conveyed the amnesty promise verbally, without any written documentation, through one of Askari's acquaintances. Despite being aware of his family's return, the IRGC later denied granting any form of amnesty. After enduring three months in solitary confinement at the IRGC detention center in Urmia, where he faced severe torture and mistreatment, Nayeb Askari was transferred to Urmia Central Prison, where he has been held without receiving temporary leave. It is worth noting that Askari suffers from kidney stones and stomach issues. Last year, he was briefly hospitalized for four days due to kidney stones, but his health has since worsened due to the poor-quality drinking water in prison. At the time of his arrest, Askari's wife was pregnant. Despite his family's circumstances and his own health issues, these factors have been disregarded, and he continues to be deprived of his basic rights. In protest against these deprivations, he has undertaken several hunger strikes over the past three years in Urmia Central Prison.>>

<<Parvin Mirasan: Medical Care Denied to 67-Year-Old Prisoner
Parvin Mirasan, a 67-year-old political prisoner, is currently serving a four-year sentence in Evin Prison. Despite needing specialized medical attention, she was recently taken to a hospital but was returned to prison shortly after, without completing the necessary treatment. Parvin Mirasan suffers from multiple ailments, including diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and joint issues, and she also occasionally experiences bowel adhesions. She endures severe knee pain, with her left knee frequently swelling, making it difficult for her to walk. Two weeks ago, after months of being denied treatment, she was finally taken to the hospital, where doctors advised that her left knee requires surgery. Nevertheless, she was returned to prison without the necessary medical intervention, only receiving pain relievers. Ms. Mirasan sometimes experiences severe forgetfulness and prolonged silences, staring into space; at other times, she speaks suddenly and at length. Despite her multiple illnesses and neurological issues, she has still not been allowed a referral to the medical examiner to assess her inability to withstand prison conditions. Parvin Mirasan was arrested on November 4, 2022, during nationwide protests by intelligence agents in Shiraz and was initially held in Adelabad Prison. In February 2023, she was transferred to Tehran and, on March 18, 2023, after her interrogation process ended, was moved to the women's ward of Evin Prison. After 17 months of uncertainty, she was sentenced in April this year by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court to four years in prison on charges of assembly, collusion, and propaganda against the state. Born in 1957, Parvin Mirasan lost both of her sons when they were young and now has only one daughter, who lives abroad.>>

<<Iran Halts Currency Exchange to Curb Economic Fallout after Israeli Strikes
Islamic Republic's central bank has ordered the closure of all the currency exchange offices’ accounts, effectively crippling their ability to conduct any transactions, IranWire has learned The move comes as tensions with Israel intensify following overnight airstrikes on Tehran. In a related action, authorities have summoned major currency exchange operators and warned them that any transactions involving foreign currency or gold outside the official market rates will be considered acts against national security. The Iranian rial has been in freefall, continuing its sharp decline last week as fears of a potential war with Israel grow. The US dollar surged past 670,000-rial mark on the open market-its highest value this year. Amid inflation rate nearing 50 per cent, many Iranians are rushing to protect their savings by converting them into hard currencies or gold, further exacerbating the economic crisis.>>

<<Ten armed security forces Killed in Sistan-Balouchestan: Additional report
At least 10 government forces were killed during an attack on two vehicles belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran's security forces in Taftan County, Sistan-Balouchestan province. The Jaish al-Adl organization has claimed responsibility for the attack. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Saturday noon, 26 October 2024, two vehicles carrying security forces were attacked at the entrance to the Kūh Gowhar area of Taftan County.

<<Woman, Life, Freedom movement: Two kurdish men from Kurdistan Region of Iraq, sentenced to prison by Iran court
Aram Bahaddin and Rasul Reza Sharif, two Kurdish individuals from the city of Penjwen in the Sulaymaniyah province of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq have collectively been sentenced to 22 years and 6 months in prison by the judiciary of Islamic Republic of Iran. They were arrested during the Woman, Life, Freedom (Jin, Jiyan, Azadi) movement. According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, the two Kurdish men, Aram Bahaddin from the village of 'Chalaw' and Rasul Reza Sharif from the village of 'Taymaz' in Penjwen city, Kurdistan Region of Iraq, were arrested two years ago by the security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the Woman, Life, Freedom movement and have been imprisoned in this city's prison without the right to leave. Hengaw has learned that these two individuals were subjected to severe torture during their three-month detention in solitary confinement and had no contact with their families. Eventually, they were each sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment by Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court of Sanandaj (Sineh) on the charge of "acting against national security." The sentences were later reduced to 11 years and 3 months each after they submitted to the court's ruling, and they have since remained imprisoned in Sanandaj and Baneh prisons. It is noteworthy that, during their arrest, the two individuals were deprived of their basic rights, including access to a lawyer and the right to contact and meet with their family members.>>
