Woman, Life, Freedom is a non-violent, intersectional, emancipatory movement led by brave women and girls of Iran and its non-violent activists such as the Peace Nobel Prize winner Nargess Mohammadi, Nasrin Sotoudeh, Golrokh Iraei, etc. Not this war hawk.

"I was sexually assaulted when I was in the worst possible state,” says journalist Nazila Maroofian in an audio message from #Iran's Evin Prison.

Maroofian, sounding weak, has been on a hunger strike since Aug. 31 to protest her unjust detention.

Reverent words by Amjad Amini, the father of Mahsa Jina Amini, whose killing in Iranian state custody last year ignited months of anti-state protests that came to be known as the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement.

(Amini's father is taking grave risks by speaking publicly in the interview with VOA Persian we've excerpted below ahead of the September 16 anniversary of her death, as Iranian state security forces continue to arbitrarily arrest relatives of victims of state violence.)

“... Given the circumstances, we can’t officially invite people to the ceremony [on the anniversary of her killing] or tell them don’t attend. Everyone these days knows Mahsa doesn’t just belong to the Amini family; she’s Iran's daughter, she belongs to the whole country. All of Mahsa's admirers are her family. So, whatever the people decide, we’ll obey.”

Many shops and businesses went on strike in the Iranian city of Rasak, Sistan and Baluchestan province, to protest the arbitrary arrest of the city’s Friday prayer leader, Mowlana Fathi Mohammad Naghshbandi, who has criticized state repression.

A powerful picture ... Afghan girls face-to-face with the men who've denied them the fundamental right to learn and get an education.

At least 122 students in Iran have been suspended or expelled by university disciplinary committees in connection with protests after the killing of Mahsa Jina Amini in Sept 2022, reports the Committee Following the Status of Detainees.

Many of these students are young women who were referred to the committees for allegedly refusing to abide by the state’s forced-hijab law.

“The disciplinary committee meetings at the university were like [kangaroo] courts,” a student at the Tabriz Medical Sciences University told the Center for Human Rights in Iran in June 2023. “The students weren’t given the chance to defend themselves at all.”

The death sentence against street protester Mohammad Ghobadlou has been overturned by Iran’s Supreme Court, tweeted his lawyer Amir Raesian.

The Senate today added to the NDAA an amendment barring certain property purchases in the U.S. for Iranian, Chinese, and Korean nationals.

Most Democrats joined on. Feinstein unapologetic among them. Terrible and racist move to codify nationally what’s been happening at states

The groundbreaking work of the @BlackIranians is the first effort of its kind in Iran that brings together the voices of Black and Afro-Iranians, sharing their stories and experiences to combat the anti-Black racism endemic to the Iranian community. https://t.co/SFaG0M8HbT

The Tehran office of Digikala, one of Iran’s largest online retailers, has been shuttered after it published photos showing women staff with their hair uncovered

Women and girls all across Iran have been facing increased violence, arbitrary arrests and heightened discrimination after the Islamic Republic reactivated its forced-veiling police patrols.
