Women's ward in Evin under heavy guard *
NCRI - Womens committee -4 Jan 2024 - in Women's News
<<Female political prisoners in Evin are retaliated for their protest,
deprived of their basic rights
A group of women political prisoners in Evin Prison have been deprived
of making phone calls and having visitations after they protested the
visit by the regime's judges. A group of prisoners in the women's ward
of Evin have been deprived of making phone calls and having visitations,
after they protested the visit to their ward by the notorious judges of
Iranian Judiciary, Iman Afshari and Mohammad Reza Amouzad. They chanted
<death to Khamenei> and other anti-regime slogans. Prison guards
intervened and clamped down on the protesting prisoners. Prison
authorities threatened to file new charges against the female political
prisoners in Evin and banish them to remote prisons. They also banned
some prisoners from their right to call their families and visit them.
Shiva Esmaili, 58, Forough Taghipour, 29, Marzieh Farsi, 58, Arghavan
Fallahi, 24, and Parvin Mirasan, 66, are among the political prisoners
in Evin deprived of their rights. Shiva Esmaili: She was arrested on
March 11, 2023. Mullah Iman Afshari sentenced her to 10 years in prison.
Ms. Esmaili is suffering from cancer. Her son, Mehdi Vafaei, is also
imprisoned for being a supporter of the PMOI/MEK. Forough Taghipour: She
was arrested in September 2023 and is set to be tried on the fabricated
charge of <sedition.> Her father and sister are in Ashaf-3. Marzieh
Farsi: She was arrested on August 21, 2023, and is set to be tried on
the charge of <sedition.> She has cancer. Her brother, Hassan Farsi, was
executed during the massacre of political prisoners in 1988. Another
brother and two sisters of hers are in Ashraf-3. Arghavan Fallahi: She
was arrested on November 3, 2022, and has been detained since without
standing trial. She was arrested along with her father and brother, who
are also imprisoned in Evin. Parvin Mir-Asan: She was arrested on
November 3, 2022, but has not stood trial yet. The Women's Committee of
the National Council of Resistance of Iran calls on the UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights, the Human Rights Council, the UNSR on the
situation of human rights in Iran, the UNSR on violence against women
and girls, and all authorities advocating human rights and women’s
rights, to decisively condemn the brutality of the mullahs' misogynous
regime, especially against female political prisoners. The NCRI Women’s
Committee urges the UN International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran to
visit the country's prisons and interview the prisoners.>>

Mahnaz Tarah
Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 4 Jan 2024
<<Tehran Resident, Mahnaz Tarah, Sentenced to 52 Months in Prison
Mahnaz Tarah, a resident of Tehran, has been handed a cumulative
sentence of four years and four months by the judicial system of the
Islamic Republic of Iran. Over the past year, she has faced detention on
at least three separate occasions by the security agencies of the
Islamic Republic.
According to a report received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights,
Mahnaz Tarah was recently sentenced to three years and eight months in
prison by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolution Court, presided over by
Iman Afshari. The charges leading to this sentence include <assembly and
collusion> as well as <propaganda against the government,> for which she
received an additional eight months of imprisonment. Under the
application of the Consolidation of Sentences Law, the most severe
penalty imposed on Mahnaz Tarah amounts to three years and eight months
of penal servitude.
Mahnaz Tarag's arrest took place on Monday, November 13th, 2023, with
security agents employing extreme violence on one of the streets of
Tehran. Subsequently, on November 24th, she was transferred from Ward
209 of Evin Prison, known as the Ministry of Intelligence's detention
center, to the general ward of the same prison. Notably, this is not the
first time Mahnaz Tarah has encountered legal troubles. She was
previously apprehended on Saturday, September 16 of the preceding year,
only to be released after a certain period. Furthermore, in February of
the same year, security agents arrested Mahnaz Tarah once again.
However, on Monday, the 13th of that month, she was released from prison
following the issuance of a circular referred to as <Amnesty>.>>

Protest in Arak
NCRI - Womens committee -3 Jan 2024 - in Women's News
<<Women Lead Protest Against Air Pollution in Arak
27,000 people die of air pollution in Iran every year
The people of Arak held a protest gathering in the city’s Bagh-e Melli
(National Garden) on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. They protested Shazand
Power Plant's use of Mazut as its source of energy. The plant
significantly contributes to air pollution in this metropolitan city.
Women's participation in this protest was considerable. Government
troops initially collected the protesters' placards and dispersed them
after half an hour. Arak is one of eight Iranian metropolises with
severe air pollution. Some time ago, officials of the Markazi Province
endorsed that Shazand Power Plant used Mazut as its fuel. Subsequently,
a group of professors teaching at Arak's University of Technology urged
the city officials to stop using Mazut since it pollutes the city's air
and jeopardizes the lives of more than one million innocent residents of
the city. Mazut is a viscous liquid residue from the distillation of
Russian petroleum that is used chiefly as a fuel oil. The clerical
regime has been using Mazut in many factories to compensate for lack of
fuel and petrol. Tuesday's protest is the second time the residents of
Arak have been protesting the authorities' use of mazut. Last Tuesday,
December 26, 2023, hundreds of residents of Ardakan, in the central
Iranian province of Yazd, took to the streets in protest of the city's
polluted air. One of the members of Tehran's City Council, Mehdi Pirhadi,
revealed last month that over 6,000 people in Tehran and 27,000 people
across the country lose their lives every year due to air pollution.

<<Sardasht; Barzin Hamzezadeh, one of the Kurdish children arrested in
the Jin, Jiyan, Azadi movement, died as a result of injuries caused by
torture
Barzin Hamzezadeh, a Kurdish child from Sardasht who suffered severe
injuries to his internal organs as a result of the severe beating of the
Iranian forces, finally passed away 13 months after surgery at the
hospital. He was arrested at the age of 15 during the Jin, Jiyan, and
Azadi movement and was tortured for a week. According to the report
received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Tuesday,
January 2, 2024, Barzin Hamzezadeh, a 16-year-old injured child from
Sardasht, died during surgery at <Khomeini> hospital in Urmia. According
to a well-informed source close to Barzin Hamzezadeh's family, this
child lost both his kidneys last year following his arrest and severe
strikes and beatings by the Iranian security forces in the fall of last
year and later suffered physiological dysfunction. This source further
added: <Over the past year and two months, Barzin has experienced a
decrease in his level of consciousness and anesthesia several times, and
he has visited the doctor many times for treatment.> One of the child's
relatives confirmed this news and told Hengaw: Before his arrest, Barzin
was in perfect physical and mental health and had no signs of illness.
However, due to the torture during detention, he lost consciousness
several times after his release. This source further stated that the
Iranian security agencies have been pressuring Hamzezadeh's family since
yesterday to refrain from publicizing this news. Barzin Hamzezadeh was
arrested by the forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran in early December
2022, after the massive protests on November 20, 2022, in Sardasht, and
was subjected to severe torture for nearly a week. The symptoms of this
child's illness appeared a few days after his release in December 1401.
It is worth mentioning that, among those who were injured during the
2022-2023 protests in Iran, especially the ones from the Jin, Jiyan,
Azadi movement, have suffered mental and physical disorders after their
release from prison, and some of them, in the silence of the news, have
not been able to resume their normal life and in some cases, they lost
their lives. Based on the statistics registered in the Statistics and
Documents Center of Hengaw, more than 300 children have been arrested in
different cities of Kurdistan by the security institutions of the
Islamic Republic of Iran during the Jin, Jiyan, Azadi movement, and so
far the identities of 193 of them have been confirmed for Hengaw.>>

<<Supreme Leader Pledges <Harsh Response> to Iran's Worst Terrorist
Attack Since 1979
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has pledged a <harsh response>
after two blasts ripped through a gathering to commemorate General Qasem
Soleimani in Kerman and left at least 103 people dead. <The evil and
criminal enemies of the Iranian nation once again created a disaster and
martyred a large number of people in Kerman,> Khamenei said in a
statement. <Iran and many of its families are grieving for their loved
ones. The callous criminals could not bear the affection and fervor of
the people visiting the shrine of their esteemed commander, Qasem
Soleimani,> he added. Soleimani was killed in 2020 in Baghdad by an
American airstrike. He was commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards
Corp (IRGC) Quds Force- an expeditionary force Iran uses for military
actions across the region. <Those whose hands are stained by the blood
of innocents, as well as the corrupt and malevolent minds guiding them
into this wrongdoing, will be unequivocally targeted,> Khamenei also
warned. Iran's president, Ebrahim Raisi, responded by saying: <The
enemies of the nation should know that such actions can never cause a
disturbance in the ironclad determination of the Iranian nation to
defend Islamic ideals.> An anniversary ceremony commemorating the
anniversary of Soleimani's death in Kerman turned into a scene of horror
today after two explosions ripped through the gathering. The blasts,
condemned as a terrorist attack by the Iranian government, shocked the
country as officials in Tehran announced January 4 as a national day of
mourning. The incident is the deadliest single terrorist incident since
the 1979 Islamic Revolution. According to official reports, emergency
services confirmed 103 fatalities, with unofficial sources suggesting
women and children were among the victims. Forty-three names of injured
individuals have been released. The cause of the attack remains under
investigation, with Interior Minister Ahmed Vahidi urging the public to
avoid speculation and wait for confirmed information.
The explosions took place along the routes leading to Golzar Shohada,
the Garden of Martyrs cemetery in Kerman. More than a thousand
individuals considered <martyrs> by the Islamic Republic are buried
there - including Soleimani - and the cemetery has become a site of
pilgrimage of supporters of Iran's “axis of resistance> against the
United States and other Western powers. Media affiliated with the IRGC
reported four police officers among the dead, while other sources
pointed to two explosive bags detonated at the entrance of Golzar
Shohada, perhaps by remote. International figures also offered
condolences and condemnations with Russian President Vladimir Putin
expressing his sympathies to Khamenei and calling the attack <barbaric.>
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also expressed solidarity with
the Iranian people. And the Norway-based activist Mahmoud Amiri Moghadam,
director of the Iranian Human Rights Organization, condemned the attack
while expressing concern about potential government responses. He warned
against escalating tensions through increased executions and repression,
urging the authorities to prioritize ensuring citizens' security and
addressing underlying issues. The Iranian government will now assess
various potential perpetrators of the attack, including exile groups,
militant organizations, and state actors. In 2017, Iran experienced two
simultaneous terrorist attacks carried out by five individuals
affiliated with Islamic State, also known as ISIS. The Iranian
parliament building and the mausoleum of Ruhollah Khomeini in Tehran
were targeted, resulting in the loss of 17 civilians and injuries to 43
others. Tehran has claimed that it successfully thwarted numerous other
ISIS plots aimed at civilians in public spaces within Iran. The timing
of today's attack could not have come at a more challenging or tense
moment in the Middle East, amid heightened distrust and instability,
amid the ongoing conflict between Hamas in Israel in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas also accused Israel of conducting a drone attack on January 2
resulting in the death of its deputy in Beirut.>>

Noteworthy addition by Gino d'Artali: Also the online outlet REUTERS
published an article about this topic of which I quote the following:
REUTERS - Jan 3, 2024 - By Parisa Hafezi
<<More than 100 killed in 'terrorist attacks' near tomb of Iranian
Guards' Soleimani
DUBAI, Jan 3 (Reuters) - ... EARLIER ATTACKS...
In 2022, the Sunni Muslim militant group Islamic State claimed
responsibility for a deadly attack on a Shi'ite shrine in Iran which
killed 15 people.
Earlier attacks claimed by the group include deadly twin bombings in
2017 which targeted Iran's parliament and the tomb of the Islamic
Republic's founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Baluchi militants and
ethnic Arab separatists have also staged attacks in Iran. The U.S.
assassination of Soleimani in a drone attack at Baghdad airport and
Tehran's retaliation by attacking two Iraq military bases that house
U.S. troops brought the United States and Iran close to full-blown
conflict in 2020. As chief commander of the elite Quds force, the
overseas arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Soleimani ran
clandestine operations in foreign countries and was a key figure in
Iran's long-standing campaign to drive U.S. forces out of the Middle
East. Tensions between Iran and Israel, along with its ally the United
States, have reached a new high over Israel's war on Iranian-backed
Hamas militants in Gaza in retaliation for their Oct. 7 rampage through
southern Israel. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militia have attacked ships
they say have links to Israel in the entrance to the Red Sea, one of the
world's busiest shipping lanes. U.S. forces have come under attack by
Iran-backed militants in Iraq and Syria over Washington's backing of
Israel and have carried out their own retaliatory air strikes. On Monday
an Israeli air strike killed a senior commander of Iran's Revolutionary
Guards in Syria. Iran has in the past blamed Israel for attacks on
individual people or places within its borders - claims which Israel has
neither confirmed nor denied - but there was no indication of any
involvement of a foreign state in the explosions at Wednesday's
ceremony.

Four women were executed in Iran in the last three days of 2023,

News Center- The Islamic Republic of Iran continues to use the death
penalty as a form of punishment. The rising trend of executions,
particularly public executions, is being used by the mullahs' regime as
a tool to instill fear and prevent any potential uprisings, said the
report released by the NCRI Women Committee, a NGO founded by Iranian
women living in different countries. <Since January 2023, it (Iranian
regime) has executed some 850 prisoners, including 15 political

<<Mourners Gather for Iran Bomb Victims as Officials Arrest Initial
Suspects
Mourners gathered in grief on Friday, January 5, beside the coffins of
the victims of two devastating explosions that rocked the city of Kerman
earlier this week. The somber atmosphere was punctuated by weeping as
families and friends bid farewell to loved ones - the casualties of the
deadliest terrorist attack witnessed in Iran since the 1979 Islamic
Revolution. Iran's interior minister said on Friday that significant
progress had been made in the investigation into the twin explosions.
Several suspects, believed to be connected to the attacks, have been
arrested, he said. <Our country's capable intelligence agencies have
found very good clues regarding elements involved in the terrorist
explosions in Kerman and some of those who had a role in this incident
have been arrested,> Ahmad Vahidi said, without elaborating. <We will
find you wherever you are,> the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC)
commander Major-General Hossein Salami also said, during at the funeral
in Kerman's Imam Ali religious center. <Our enemies can see Iran's power
and the whole world knows its strength and capabilities,> President
Ebrahim Raisi said in a televised address. <Our forces will decide on
the place and time to take action.> The attacks, claimed by Islamic
State, sent shockwaves through the nation and prompted an outpouring of
grief. Footage broadcast on state TV showed mourners at the funerals in
Kerman chanting <Revenge, revenge.> But two days after the attack,
crucial details such as the exact number of victims and the methods used
by the perpetrators are yet to be confirmed. But initial reports from
domestic news agencies, such as the Daneshjo news agency, linked the
explosion to gas cylinders used in <mourning processions.> The official
Islamic Republic News Agency cited an unnamed but <reliable> source who
claimed that the January 3 blasts were a suicide bombing attack. What is
evident, however, is the security vulnerability faced by the Islamic
Republic both within and outside its borders....>>
