<<Nineteen-Year-Old Baha'i in Yazd Among Latest Iran Arrests
Iran's Ministry of Intelligence agents in the central city of Yazd arrested Kamiyab Raei, a 19-year-old Baha'i citizen, earlier this week. According to reports obtained by IranWire, security officers visited Raei's house and conducted a search, confiscating personal items such as books, mobile phones, and laptops on November 8. No information is available regarding the reasons for the arrests or their whereabouts. Raei's arrest is one of a number of recent arrests of Baha'i citizens in Iran. Over the past two days, authorities have conducted searches at the residences of Baha'i citizens in the cities of Hamadan, Karaj, and Yazd, leading to the arrest of over a dozen people. Additionally, in the past month, six other Baha'i citizens were arrested in Yazd and 10 women were arrested in Isfahan. While five of the detainees were released on bail, Eman Rashidi remains in custody under the supervision of the Yazd Intelligence Department. The Iranian government has intensified its crackdown on members of the Baha'i faith, imprisoning dozens of them on spurious charges over the past year, as well as denying access to higher education, livelihoods, and confiscating or destroying personal properties.>>

<<Iranian Family Cancels Ceremony Marking Anniversary of Protester’s Death
The family of Yalda Aghafazli, a young protester who died shortly after her release from prison, has canceled a ceremony planned on the first anniversary of her death, under apparent pressure from the security apparatus of the Islamic Republic. The message <No ceremony for Yalda Aghafazli's anniversary> was posted on the family's Instagram page late on November 9, two days before the anniversary. Earlier, Mehrdad Aghafazli, Yalda's father, announced that a remembrance ceremony would be held for the 19-year-old artist in Tehran's Behesht Zahra cemetery on November 11. Yalda was arrested on October 26 last year for participating in nationwide protests sparked by the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini. In Qarchak prison, Tehran province, she went on a hunger strike before being released on November 6. Five days later, she died under mysterious circumstances and was buried under strict security measures in Behesht Zahra cemetery. More than 500 people were killed by security forces and over 20,000 were unlawfully detained during the unrest that rocked Iran for months. Following biased trials, the judiciary has handed down stiff sentences, including the death penalty, to protesters. Seven of them have been executed so far.The security agencies of the Islamic Republic have exerted pressure on the victims' families through collective arrests and the summoning of grieving families by security agencies. As a result, many families have canceled remembrance ceremonies for their loved ones. In August, Amnesty International said the authorities had escalated their campaign of harassment and intimidation against the families of the victims in an attempt to <cover up their crimes.> >>

<<Ceremony Held for Iranian Boy Killed in Protest One Week Early
The family of Kian Pirfalak, a nine-year-old Iranian boy who was killed during nationwide protests, held a remembrance ceremony at his gravesite one week before the one-year anniversary of his death. Kian's parents, Mahmonir Molaei-Rad and Maysam Pirfalak, gathered at his tomb on November 9, alongside other relatives and friends, amid heavy security presence. Videos and photos shared on social media show the mourners offering their condolences. In one footage, Kian's mother is seen kneeling and weeping. Kian was shot and killed by government forces during protests in the city of Izeh on November 16, 2022, sparking outrage inside and outside Iran. The boy became a symbol of the brutality of the Iranian government's crackdown on dissent. His family's decision to hold the remembrance ceremony one week early comes amid increased pressure by the security agencies of the Islamic Republic on the families of the victims of the government's crackdown on dissent. On his Instagram page, Kian's father wrote that the ceremony was held on November 9.>>

<<Afghan women refugees live through difficult conditions in Iran
Tehran- Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, Afghan women have been subjected to many rights violations. Afghan women have been excluded from all facets of life; they have been deprived of their right to education, banned from working in most sectors outside the home, entering amusement parks, public baths, gyms and sports clubs. Thousands of Afghans, who did not want to be under the Taliban rule, fled the country and faced many problems such as poverty, racism, violence and harassment on their routes to other countries. Before the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, Afghans suffered from economic crisis, environmental disasters such as drought and poor living conditions for 20 years. However, their suffering doubled after the Taliban takeover. Afghanistan is among the poorest countries in the world. These factors caused thousands of Afghan people to migrate to Iran and Pakistan. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are approximately 3 million Afghan citizens in Iran as of January 2023. Since residence of Afghan refugees is prohibited in 15 provinces of Iran, Afghan refugees live in poor suburbs of big cities such as Tehran, Isfahan and Mashhad. Most Afghan refugees work as laborers in Iran.
The story of Shafiqa Badli
Shafiqa Badli (60) is one of the Afghan women refugees struggling to survive despite difficult living conditions. She lost her husband during the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989). <I was pregnant and my son was just two years old when my husband was killed in the Soviet-Afghan war. I raised my son and daughter alone. My son got married and had two children. However, the Taliban killed my son when his children were five and six years old. One of my grandchildren had a motorcycle accident. His ribs and leg were broken in the accident. He has platinum inside his leg now and cannot work.>
Her son was killed by the Taliban
Speaking about the killing of her son, she said, <When the Taliban entered our city, they killed women and men. We had to leave the country after the Taliban killed my son. Now, I sell clothes at the Tehran metro. People tell me 'go to your own country and work there' and use bad language against me because I am a refugee. We live through difficult conditions in Iran.>
'We have nowhere to go'
One day, Shafiqa Badli took her five-year-old grandson with her to the metro. <An Iranian woman beat my grandson when he sat next to her. I tried to stop her but she beat me. We have a very difficult life but we have nowhere to go. Although we live through difficult conditions in Iran, we can find a piece of bread and have a cup of tea.> >>
