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. Thank you for being a reader and for your support of the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' revolution.

<<Ahmadinejad Allies and Critics Clash on Social Media Over Controversial Posts
Following a state TV reporter's online criticism of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a disclosure by a lawyer close to the former president sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. The lawyer's revelation was in response to a post by Ameneh Sadat Zabihpour on the X social network, which garnered widespread attention. Amid the aftermath of Raisi's death in a helicopter crash, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's decision to wear a white shirt to the Assembly of Experts' meeting drew criticism from certain government factions. Zabihpour, a prominent figure in government media known as the <interrogator-reporter> for interviewing protesters, expressed her disdain on her X account by sharing a photo of Ahmadinejad at the meeting and writing, <As someone who reported on your programs for eight years, I hate you.> In a subsequent development, Ali Hosseini, a lawyer close to Ahmadinejad, issued a response to Zabihpour's tweet. He hinted at a past incident involving a certain reporter at the Warwick Hotel in New York, writing, <Hope that morning in Warwick Hotel in New York, he did not warn the bodyguards that it was none of our business if a certain reporter went to the room of a certain photographer and was there till morning.>
This reference led to speculation and stirred controversy online
Following Hosseini's response, Zabihpour deleted her post, prompting Hosseini to also remove his post from X. However, the repercussions of their exchange continued to reverberate across social media platforms. Although Hosseini's statement did not specify the photographer, Rouzbeh Jadidoleslam, a news photographer who accompanied Iran's official delegations, reacted strongly. Initially, he published and later deleted articles addressing the issue on X, denouncing Hosseini as a <fraudster and impostor> and challenging his alleged involvement in official trips. Some users highlighted Zabihpour's previous friendship with the impostor, emphasizing their unusual form of address and defending her on the X social network.
This revelation sparked further debate and scrutiny across social media platforms.
Journalist Sasan Aghaei seized upon the controversy, condemning those who had previously engaged in <dishonourable behaviour against Iran's esteemed figures,> suggesting that their past actions were now catching up with them. Activist Hamid Faizabadi further escalated tensions with a video message characterized by insulting language and sexist remarks, hinting at future disclosures.>>

<<Charlie Hebdo Features Ebrahim Raisi in Satirical Cartoons
Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical weekly magazine, has published several cartoons featuring Ebrahim Raisi. The deaths of Raisi, Hossein Amir-Abdullahian who was the foreign minister>and other Iranian officials occurred at a particularly tense moment for the Middle East. The region is grappling with the consequences of an escalating war that has galvanized Iran-backed militant groups to exchange fire with the Israeli military. These conflicts have sent ripple effects across the globe.
The helicopter crash on Sunday, which claimed the lives of President Ebrahim Raisi and others, prompted judicial and security authorities, along with the police, to issue warnings that citizens' reactions to the incident were under close scrutiny. IranWire has learned from media activists and journalists in Iran that security agencies have been disrupting their lives with threatening calls to prevent the republishing of news related to Ebrahim Raisi's death. One journalist, who requested anonymity for security reasons, told IranWire, <When I didn't answer their calls, they contacted my uncle and brother, threatening that an arrest warrant had been issued for me and that if I did not delete my stories and posts, they would come to arrest me.> >>

<<Arrests and Threats Ramp Up in Iran After President Raisi's Death
Iranian authorities have intensified arrests of individuals criticizing Ebrahim Raisi following the helicopter crash that resulted in his death and that of his companions. Legal actions have unfolded rapidly, leading to the arrest of a restaurant operator in Qom province and the subsequent closure of his establishment. He was accused of <spreading lies and insulting the martyrs of service> online. According to the public relations department of Qom province police, on Friday, the restaurant operator faced judicial action for <disseminating false information and making derogatory remarks about the fallen servicemen.> He was promptly incarcerated following the issuance of a judicial mandate. The helicopter crash on Sunday, which claimed the life of President Ebrahim Raisi among others, prompted judicial and security authorities, along with the police, to issue warnings that citizens' reactions to the incident were under close scrutiny.
