NCRI - Womens committee - 9 Nov 2023 - in Women's News
<<UN Human Rights Committee publishes findings on Iran
On November 3, 2023, the UN Human Rights Committee issued its findings on the Islamic Republic of Iran, Kuwait, the Republic of Korea, Trinidad and Tobago, the United States of America, and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, after examining the six countries in its latest session. Regarding its findings on Iran, the committee wrote:
The Committee was disturbed by legal provisions that continue to discriminate against women and girls, particularly the <Support the Family by Promoting the Culture of Chastity and Hijab Bill,> which imposes severe punishments on women and girls for violations of the mandatory dress code, including up to ten years in prison and flogging. It was also concerned about the redeployment of morality police to monitor the dress code in public. It urged the State Party to reform or repeal laws and policies that criminalise non-compliance with compulsory veiling, specifically the <Bill to Support the Family by Promoting the Culture of Chastity and Hijab>. It also asked the State party to disband the morality police. The Committee raised the alarm about the very high number of executions in the State party, including for offences eligible for death sentences but do not qualify as <most serious>, such as drug-related offences and offences against the State and religion. It also questioned the disproportionate use of the death penalty against members of minorities and the execution of minors. The Committee called upon the Islamic Republic of Iran to ensure that the death penalty is imposed only for the most serious crimes, involving intentional killing, and give due consideration to establishing a moratorium on the death penalty. It underscored that no one under the age of 18 at the time of the commission of an offence should be subjected to the death penalty under any circumstance.>>

<<Crackdown on Hijab Violators: Image-Less Posters Appear on Iranian Cinemas
The movie Ameh Pasand (Popular) has been released in Iranian cinemas, with the white promotional posters featuring only the film's title and the names of the actors. This is due to a prohibition by the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance on using images of two actresses featured in the movie, Baran Kosari and Fatemeh Motamed-Arya, who were prosecuted this year after appearing in public without the mandatory headscarf. Ameh Pasand, directed by Soheil Beiraghi, was produced in 2018, but its release in Iran had been pending for four years until it finally obtained screening permission. The film centers around a woman who goes against societal norms and is subjected to society's pressures for that. It addresses the many challenges women face in Iranian society, including in finding housing and employment, or in obtaining a business license. The Islamic Republic mandates that all women in Iran cover their hair with a headscarf and wear loose-fitting trousers under their coats, but a growing number of them, including celebrities, have appeared in public without hijab since the eruption of nationwide protests last year. Some of these defiant women were arrested, were summoned by the authorities, and faced legal proceedings. Hundreds of small businesses and shopping malls have been shut down under the accusation of failing to enforce hijab rules on their customers.>>

<<Iranian Doctor Loses Medical License After Headscarf Accusation
A female doctor's medical license has been suspended on the grounds of <inappropriate behavior contrary to Islamic values,> after she appeared without wearing a headscarf at a ceremony. The doctor, Fatemeh Rejaei-Rad, a specialist in facial surgery, attended a ceremony honoring exemplary doctors in northern Amol city on October 26, dressed in a suit and without covering her hair. The President of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Farhad Gholami, referred to Rejaei-Rad as a <violator and lawbreaker.> Gholami further said that in addition to the medical license suspension, the ceremony's managers have been referred to a disciplinary board. It appears that Rajaei-Rad's medical license was revoked following state media coverage and pressure from extremist groups. All women in Iran must conceal their hair with a hijab while in public and wear loose fitting trousers under their coats. A growing number of Iranian women, who refuse to wear a head covering, have been arrested and prosecuted amid a wave of protests sparked by the September 2022 death of Mahsa Amini while in custody after being detained by police for allegedly wearing her headscarf improperly. And a new law passed this year seeks to impose 10-year jail terms on any woman accused of not wearing her headscarf in public.>>

<<Iranian Government Unveils Acting Ban on Unveiled Actresses
Iran's Cinema Organization, affiliated with the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, has announced that actresses who have appeared in public without covering their hair are not permitted to act in films. In an interview with the state news agency IRNA, the Deputy Director of Monitoring and Evaluation at the Cinema Organization stated that actors who have <appeared without hijab> cannot participate in the film industry due to the restrictions imposed on them. <Their previous works will be gradually released to avoid harming the film owners, as substantial capital has been invested,> said Habib Ilbeigi on October 23. <However, they are not allowed to take part in new film projects from this point forward.> In a recent letter, he warned film producers, stating that if they collaborate with actresses who have <appeared [in public] without hijab,> they will encounter difficulties in obtaining screening permits. <In the event of any cooperation with these actors, should they face challenges in obtaining a screening permit, they will be held personally responsible and accountable for their actions and their consequences,> he warned. Ilbeigi also confirmed in an interview with IRNA that certain actors and filmmakers had been banned from working during the <Woman, Life, Freedom> protests due to their political statements. While Ilbeigi did not specify the number of banned actresses and cinematographers, he mentioned that the Ministry is making <efforts to resolve their issues and enable them to resume work.> The Iranian authorities have intensified their crackdown on many individuals who violate the country's strict dress code, following months of unrest in 2022 sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in police custody.
Amini had been detained for allegedly wearing a head covering improperly. The Islamic Republic mandates that all women in Iran cover their hair with a headscarf and wear loose-fitting trousers under their coats while in public. However, in the wake of Amini's death, a growing number of women, including prominent celebrities such as Taraneh Alidoosti, Ketayoun Riahi, Panthea Bahram, and Baran Kowsari, have defiantly appeared in public without hijab. Some of these women have later been arrested, summoned by the authorities, and faced legal proceedings. Furthermore, hundreds of small businesses and shopping malls have been shut down under the accusation of failing to enforce hijab rules on their customers.>>

NCRI - Womens committee - in women's news - 19 Oct 2023
<<Roya Zakeri, a Computer Scientist, Is Taken to a Mental Hospital for Protesting the Mandatory Hijab
Earlier we reported on a young woman in Tabriz who was brutalized by security forces on Sunday, October 15, 2023, for not covering her hair. It has been found out that the name of this young woman is Roya Zakeri. A viral video clip of Ms. Zakeri showed her sitting on the ground and crying out slogans against the mullahs' supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. For this reason, security forces beat her so viciously that she went unconscious. Then, they took Roya Zakeri from among the crowd by ambulance and transferred her to the women's ward of Razi Hospital in Tabriz, which is a neurology and psychiatry hospital. Roya Zakeri is single, 31 years old, and comes from the city of Marand in East Azerbaijan Province (NW Iran). She has a Master of Science degree in Computer Sciences and resides in Tabriz. Based on what she explained to people in a recently published video clip, she had gone on hunger strike for five days in the custody of security forces last year during the 2022 nationwide uprising. Roya Zakeri, a Computer Scientist, Is Taken to a Mental Hospital for Protesting the Mandatory Hijab


The last images from Roya Zakeri
Roya Zakeri was arrested in October 2022 in front of Tabriz University. She remained in detention for an unspecified period. The Iranian state-run media falsely claimed that Ms. Zakeri had a mental illness and was experiencing delusions on the street. They said she had been transferred to medical facilities for treatment. Presently, Roya Zakeri is held under strict security measures in Razi Hospital. She is not allowed visits with her family. Intelligence services agents have warned shop owners and businesses in the neighborhood to refrain from giving interviews to media outlets.
The clerical regime's security and intelligence services are playing out the same scenario they did in Tehran for Armita Geravand: preventing the family from visiting their daughter, intimidating the relatives and eyewitnesses, and warning them against having any interviews, and controlling the situation before it breaks out into a protest. The Iranian regime has a record of taking political prisoners and protesters to mental hospitals and injecting them with drugs that harm their mental health and well-being. Several protesters, including Yalda Aghafazli, Maryam Arvin, and Mohabbat Mozaffari, died a short period after release from prison, allegedly for being injected with poisonous drugs.>>
