RP• @centerforhumanrights More than four months into the Islamic Republic’s violent suppression of nationwide protests in Iran, in which hundreds have been killed in the streets by state security forces and scores sentenced to death, governments worldwide can and must take urgent actions to signal to the authorities in Iran that their violent repression will carry onerous costs, states a new policy briefing released today by the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI). “Young women and men have been slaughtered by the hundreds for peacefully protesting the Islamic Republic’s repression,” said CHRI Executive Director Hadi Ghaemi. “The international community must use every tool at its disposal to change the Iranian authorities’ calculation that they can violently crush dissent in the country at little cost.” The new 8-page briefing, Recommendations for the International Community on Iran: Imposing Costs on the Islamic Republic for Its Human Rights Atrocities, provides actionable recommendations for governments around the world.

RP• @borna_joon After Jafar Pahani supported the opposition party during the 2009 Iranian election, he received a 20 year ban on making films and traveling. This led to him making my favorite film of all time “This Is Not a Film” which was shot in Pahani’s apartment and secretly brought into France on a USB hidden inside a cake to premiere at Cannes Film Festival. In the film he tells a film he wish he was able to make. He later went on to make many more films in the most oppressive circumstances, risking his life every time. I consider him to be the greatest living film maker. This is the equivalent of Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and James Cameron combined receiving prison sentences for making movies. Please share. We can’t afford to lose him. #jafarpanahi #freejafarpanahi #iranrevolution

For all who have asked if there’s something they can do!! RP• @gissounia Call to action: ring the office of the Republican leader of the foreign affairs committee in the House, Representative Michael McCaul. Tell them you are calling to ask Rep McCaul to co-sponsor the MAHSA Act (H.R. 589) and say you want it to be in the next mark up for the foreign affairs committee. His DC office number: (202) 225-2401.
RP• @centerforhumanrights Women who have devoted their lives to aiding underprivileged and at-risk youth in Iran have come under increasing attack by the Iranian government in its violent campaign aimed at crushing the country’s women and youth-led movement for social and political change. “Islamic Republic authorities are deeply threatened by any independent organization or individual that provides support and hope for Iranian youth, so it’s no surprise that they’re now detaining children’s rights activists,” said Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI). “The state has gone particularly hard after these activists, who are primarily women, because the authorities want to keep Iranian women controlled and isolated.” “Public solidarity and support from international children’s rights organizations, particularly UNICEF, including demands that the authorities immediately free all detained children’s rights activists, is urgently needed right now,” added Ghaemi. Since the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini, 22, in Iranian state custody and the resulting eruption of anti-state protests across the country, advocates for the rights of women and children have come under increased persecution by the Iranian government, with at least a dozen children’s rights activists, mainly women, detained around the country. Mahya Vahedi, Samaneh Asghari, Mahsa Gholamalizadeh, Sarvenaz Ahmadi, Mona Jandaghi, Ameneh Zamani, Atefeh Chaharmahalian, Sepideh Sarlarvand, Saeid Shirzad, Jina Modarres Gorji, and Saba Abdollahi are a few of the activists detained during these past few months, some of whom remain in custody.
