With the withdrawal of Israeli tanks from the Northwest of Gaza, Palestinians began to return to their destroyed homes.

There is no home, they return to their lands.💔💔

“They violently raped me”

“Islamic Republic of Iran’s agents made us face the walls of the vehicle and gave electric shocks to our legs…They tortured me through beatings … They pulled down my trousers and raped me…I was really being ripped apart…I was throwing up a lot and bleeding from my rectum.”

Maryam, who was gang raped in a Revolutionary Guards detention centre, recounted that her rapists told her: “You are all addicted to penis, so we showed you a good time. Isn’t this what you seek from liberation?”  
Sexual violence weaponized to crush Iran’s “Woman Life Freedom” uprising, documents in detail the harrowing ordeals of 45 survivors, including 26 men, 12 women and 7 children,

Security forces in Iran used rape and other forms of sexual violence to suppress last year protest after the murder of Mahsa Amini.
Amnesty International said in a new report published today.

State agents raped women and girls vaginally, anally and orally, while men and boys were raped anally. Survivors were raped with wooden and metal batons, glass bottles, hosepipes, and/or agents’ sexual organs and fingers. Rape took place in detention facilities and police vans, as well as schools or residential buildings unlawfully repurposed as detention places.  
This is what exactly Hamas did to women in Israel on October 7 and we the people of Iran were the first ones who loudly condemned the savage brutality against Israeli women by Hamas terrorists. Because we especially the women of Iran know very well that the Islamic Republic and Hamas are cut from the same cloth and both use rape and torture of women as a weapon of war.

Israeli Women and teenagers were gang-raped, beaten, tortured and murdered.

Some were mutilated and set on fire, some had their lifeless bodies dragged around, spat on and beaten by wild and ecstatic crowds celebrating the “victory” of Hamas.

The horrifying images of these atrocities — filmed by the terrorists themselves — have been seen around the whole world.

In Iran we faced the same brutality. Last year after the killings of more than 700 innocent protesters and imprisonment of more than 20,000, many young teenagers told us that they faced raped in prison. We had many young protesters committed suicide after being free from jail.

For many years now I have been campaigning for women of Iran and Afghanistan, calling attention to their suffering under Islamic fundamentalism.

Iranian women and their Afghan sisters have long felt that their voices go unheard in the West.

Today, it is our Israeli sisters that have been raped by the same barbaric terrorists.

Whether it is the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic in Iran, or Hamas-Isis in Israel, we must collectively condemn the atrocities perpetrated against women in the name of this Islam.

We must stand together to resist and eliminate this violence against all women everywhere — no matter where in the world it raises its ugly head.

My message to Western Feminists: Do not abandon your sisters in the Middle East. Stand up to Islamist terror.

In a defiant stance against oppression, Sepideh Rowshan, arrested and tortured for protesting mandatory hijab, sits unveiled. Beside her, Toomaj Salehi, also arrested and tortured for supporting women’s revolution through song. Together, they send a resolute message to the authoritarian regime: united in their struggle, they persevere for a democratic Iran, not an Islamic Iran.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

Atefeh, a mere 36, stood as a valiant voice in Iran’s #WomanLifeFreedom movement. Nightly, she boldly cried “Death to Khamenei” from her balcony. Tragically, the Islamic regime’s agents snatched her away, subjected her to brutal torture, and took her life. Her body was ruthlessly returned to her balcony, staged with a gas hose in a horrific attempt to fabricate a suicide. This heinous act exemplifies the regime’s deep-seated hatred towards women, their freedom, their hair, their dance, and their song. This is the cruel reality under a barbaric regime.

[Center for Human Rights in Iran @ICHRI]

On November 23rd, 2023, the life of Milad Zohrehvand, a 22-year-old, was stolen in Iran's Malayer Hamedan province, where he was executed without any forewarning given to his family. His arrest during a protest in October 2022 marked the beginning of a harrowing journey that culminated in an unjust state killing. Throughout his detention, Zohrehvand was deprived of the fundamental right to legal counsel, and his family, coerced under intense pressure, was silenced, barred from communicating with the media.

The accusations brought against him, notably the alleged killing of an IRGC intelligence agent, reflect a disturbing trend in the Islamic Republic of Iran where individuals facing execution are systematically denied due process—a pattern seen in previous cases resulting in executions within the past year. The killing of Zohrehvand marks the eighth instance of an individual being executed in connection with the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement since January 2023.

The utilization of the death penalty by the Islamic Republic of Iran represents the pinnacle of cruelty, embodying the epitome of inhuman and degrading punishment. In Iran, this barbaric tool continues to be wielded as a means to stifle dissent and quash opposition voices.

Without concerted efforts from global leaders to hold the Iranian authorities accountable for these state-sanctioned killings, which blatantly contravene international laws governing the death penalty, the machinery of death within the Islamic Republic will only intensify. More innocent lives will be unjustly lost to the gallows in Iran unless a resolute stance is taken to confront this egregious violation of fundamental human rights.

Reza Rasaei, an ethnic Kurd in Iran, is at risk of being hanged in connection with nationwide, anti-state protests in Iran. He has been denied due process and is in severe danger.

In #Iran, you don’t go to prison for beating up a woman so badly that she dies after coma. In Iran, you go to prison for attending that woman’s funeral.

#NasrinSotoudeh is in Qarchak prison and her health condition is worsening. She and all others must be released immediately.

This situation is laying bare what some Puerto Ricans have known for a long time. When it comes to the injustices faced by colonized people, it makes little difference if it’s Dems or Reps in power. Neither stand for liberation if it threatens the interests of the empire.

“Every day when we go out without hijab we’re not sure if we will be back home or get beaten by morality police.”
Physical violence against unveiled women increased in Iran, but women are resisting by removing forced hijab in public.

Israeli historian and genocide scholar Raz Segal says Israeli leaders' dehumanizing language about Palestinians in Gaza and the IDF's conduct are cause for alarm. "We're seeing the combination of genocidal acts with special intent. This is indeed a textbook case of genocide."

[U.S. Ambassador to the Human Rights Council @USAmbHRC]

Deeply disturbed by the accounts of the violent attack on 16-year-old Armita Geravand by Iranian morality police for not wearing a headscarf on the subway. Iran should empower its youth to lead the nation forward, not assault them. The U.S. firmly urges Iran to halt its oppressive acts and stands resolute in seeking accountability for the regime’s human rights abuses.
