“Unknown” security forces in Tehran have arrested Iranian conservationists #HoumanJowkar and #SepidehKashani. Again, no clear charges and no explanation. They also detained Sepideh’s sister, Sima, who has MS. The couple had been caring for Sepideh’s father, who had just returned home from the hospital after a heart attack and has a chronic lung condition.

parmi les personnes condamnées à 74 coups de fouet, interdiction de travailler et de quitter l'Iran il y a mon amie chère Tahmineh Monzavi, brillante photographe qui sait capter la société iranienne avec beaucoup de talent. Elle est jugée coupable pour avoir fait son travail en république islamique. Je pense à elle aujourd'hui et à tous ceux qui ont été condamnés.
On Sunday, Mostafa Nili, lawyer for Jafar Panahi, announced that a Tehran Revolutionary Court has rejected the objections and fully upheld the in-absentia verdict against the prominent Iranian filmmaker.

In the name of my daughter, Reera
My daughter, Reera, would have turned sixteen today.
Reera and her mother, my beloved wife, Parisa, were among the passengers of Flight #PS752, shot down by missiles fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the skies above Tehran on January 8, 2020.
Every birthday that arrives without Reera is no longer a day on the calendar. It is another season passing through an unfinished life.
I think of everything that was stolen from us. From me. From Parisa. From our daughter, Reera.
My child was murdered by a criminal regime.
Anyone who has lost a child knows that grief is not only the pain of absence. It is the slow accumulation of futures that never came to pass.
We spend the years imagining the lives denied to them.
How would they laugh now? How would they speak? Would they gather their hair behind their shoulders or let it move freely in the wind? Would they still belong to spring, or would autumn one day become their season?
If they had lived.
For me, these questions are both alive and impossible to answer. But more than anything, what darkens my days are the conversations I have lost with Reera.
With every sunset, with every reluctant awakening into another morning, with every book, every film, every sorrow and beauty unfolding in the world, I find myself thinking: another conversation has been taken from me.
Another moment when I might have asked her what she thought. What she felt. How she saw the world.
So sometimes I imagine her answers. I imagine her voice returning briefly through memory.
No one truly understands this endless suspension except those who have lost someone they loved to injustice.
Reera was a gifted runner. She played on a soccer team in Richmond Hill. Had she been allowed to live, she might have become a remarkable athlete.
Every father carries dreams for his child’s sixteenth birthday. Some small. Some immense.
Mine now exist only in fragments, buried beneath memory and longing.
Two years ago, I began to think that perhaps I could run in her memory on her birthday. She is no longer beside me, yet when I run carrying her image, I feel I am telling the world something simple and undeniable:
For me, a world without Reera is not a beautiful world.
A world without the children stolen by cruelty, by missile, by bullet, by bomb, can never be beautiful.
Tomorrow morning, I will run the Ottawa Marathon in memory of my daughter, Reera. These past two years of training, the pain, the solitude, the discipline, have all been for her, the most beautiful girl in the world to me, who was, who is, and who always will be.
As long as I live, I will not forgive those who took her from me.
And as long as I live, I will not forget the murder of my wife, Parisa, and my daughter, Reera.

Oscar-nominated Iranian director Jafar Panahi (It Was Just an Accident) is set to again face trial in Iran on charges of “propaganda against the regime.” https://t.co/QcOjCW9wcC
L'acteur espagnol Javier Bardem estime que "la masculinité toxique est un vrai problème". "Ma génération, a été très impactée par une façon d'être qui est absolument erronée et on en voit les conséquences. Nous, en tant qu'hommes, nous devons soutenir les femmes", juge-t-il.
LIBÉRÉE. L'illustre avocate iranienne des droits de l'homme Nasrin Sotoudeh a été libérée sous caution en #Iran, plus d'un mois après son arrestation, a annoncé mercredi 13 mai 2026 sa fille Mehraveh Khandan.
Nasrin Sotoudeh, attorney and human rights activist, was released from Tehran Greater Prison a few hours ago on bail.
Ms. Sotoudeh had been arrested at her home in Tehran on the evening of April 1.
« Cette suspension de peine pour raisons médicales grave a été arrachée grâce à la mobilisation des sociétés civiles mondiales et aux efforts de la diplomatie des droits humains qui a fait pression sur le régime. La mobilisation doit se poursuivre pour exiger l’abandon des charges à l’encontre de Narges Mohammadi mais également de l’ensemble des prisonnier-es politiques arbitrairement détenus qui doivent être libéré-es. Nous invitons l’ensemble des diplomaties mondiales à maintenir la pression sur les autorités Iraniennes pour exiger l’arrêt des exécutions qui se poursuivent dans le pays ».
— Chirinne Ardakani, avocate de Narges Mohammadi
BREAKING NEWS: Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi has been transferred to a Tehran hospital
May 10th, 2026
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Narges Mohammadi, after 10 days of hospitalization in Zanjan, has been granted a sentence suspension on heavy bail. Her transfer via ambulance has been completed, and she is now at Tehran Pars Hospital to be treated by her own medical team.
On behalf of the Narges Foundation and her family, we thank the international community for their unwavering solidarity. However, a suspension is not enough; Narges Mohammadi require permanent, specialized care. We must ensure she never returns to prison to face the 18 years remaining on her sentence. Now is the time to demand her unconditional freedom and the dismissal of all charges. No human and women’s rights activists should ever be imprisoned for their peaceful work.
In a post on X, her lawyer Mostafa Nili stated: “Today, Narges Mohammadi was discharged from Zanjan Hospital following an order halting her sentence for medical treatment. She was transferred by ambulance to Pars Hospital in Tehran, where she has been admitted. This order was issued in accordance with the Legal Medicine Organization’s assessment that she requires specialized care outside of prison under the supervision of her own medical team due to multiple illnesses.”
