بنابر گزارش‌های منتشرشده، دادگاه انقلاب حکم اعدام سهند نورمحمدزاده، ورزشکار بدنساز و از بازداشت‌شدگان اعتراضات سراسری، لغو شده است اما اتهام محاربه علیه او همچنان پابرجا مانده و به همین علت آقای نورمحمدزاده به «۱۰سال تبعید به کهنوج استان کرمان، ۵ سال حبس به اتهام اجتماع و تبانی و یک سال حبس هم به اتهام اخلال در نظم عمومی محکوم شده است».

این در حالی است که یکی از اتهام‌های مبنا قرارگرفته برای اتهام محاربه علیه سهند نورمحمدزاده در دادگاه بدوی، مرتبط با «آتش زدن سطل اشغال» دانسته شده بود که در آن زمان - اواسط آبان سال گذشته - با واکنش‌های فراوانی روبرو شد.

حامد احمدی، وکیل انتخابی آقای نورمحمدزاده گفته علیه این حکم جدید اعتراض خواهد کرد.

The mysterious case of #HasanFirouzi the Iranian "protester" who's life in "imminent danger" and was sent to hospital as result of torture he was subjected during his time in custody, but the #IRI officials and judiciary say they have no idea who that person is!


The story has been one of the talking points of Iranian online activists and 1000s of people who re-share and repeat the story as the one attached here.

I can not find where the story was originated from, but the IRI officials have officially denied any knowledge of a person with that name being in prison, or awaiting execution.

Things has got even more bizarre lately as images of a man supposedly being Mr. Firouzi showing traces of torture. Even the French Francois Bechieau has posted a tweet in support of his case with some 10k people liking it, some 6500 people resharing it and it was viewed by over 130k people.

Can this be another fake story planted by IRGC to bait the opposition to discredit their authenticity and honesty? Or it is like the repeat of the sad story of #Neda, the innocent by stander woman who was killed by a stray bullet during the protest in Iran after the re-election of #Ahmadinejad where 1000s people (and fake accounts) re-shared a fake image of her "passport" photo.

No matter what the story is, for now, at least based on my little limited research on various social media and online sources, the name Hasan Firouzi is anything but real.

In ancient #Greece, women were forbidden to study medicine for several years until someone broke the law. Born in 300 BCE, #Agnodice cut her hair and entered Alexandria medical school dressed as a man. While walking the streets of Athens after completing her medical #education, she heard the cries of a woman in labour. However, the woman did not want Agnodice to touch her although she was in severe pain, because she thought Agnodice was a man. Agnodice proved that she was a woman by removing her clothes without anyone seeing and helped the woman deliver her baby.
The story would soon spread among the women and all the women who were sick began to go to Agnodice. The male doctors grew envious and accused Agnodice, whom they thought was male, of seducing female patients. At her trial, Agnodice, stood before the court and proved that she was a woman but this time, she was sentenced to death for studying medicine and practicing medicine as a woman.
Women revolted at the sentence, especially the wives of the judges who had given the #DeathPenalty. Some said that if Agnodice was killed, they would go to their deaths with her. Unable to withstand the pressures of their wives and other women, the judges lifted Agnodice's sentence, and from then on, women were allowed to practice #medicine, provided they only looked after #women.
Thus, Agnodice made her mark in history as the first #Greek #female #doctor, #physician and #gynecologist. This plaque depicting Agnodice at work was excavated at Ostia, #Italy.

#Britain reconsidering Iran nuclear deal after execution of Alireza Akbari

The UK is reconsidering its support for the Iran nuclear deal following the execution of a British-Iranian dual national, The #SundayTelegraph understands.

Alireza Akbari, a former Iranian deputy defence minister, was charged with #spying for #MI6 and before his death claimed to have been tortured for 3,500 hours.

#Amnesty #Iran: This morning’s execution of Iranian-British national #AlirezaAkbari, a former Iranian official, by Iran's authorities again displays their abhorrent assault on the right to life. The use of the #DeathPenalty is appalling under all circumstances.

In the case of Alireza Akbari it is particularly horrific given the violations he revealed he was subjected to in prison, including #torture & other ill-treatment through being forcibly administered chemical substances & being held in prolonged solitary confinement which caused him great distress, and forced to make recorded “confessions” repeatedly, w/these recordings later played in court during his trial.

Alireza Akbari was convicted and sentenced to death for “spreading corruption on earth” (efsad-e fel arz), which @amnesty has consistently held fails to meet requirements for clarity and precision needed in criminal law and breaches the principle of legality and legal certainty.
The #UK government must fully investigate Alireza Akbari’s allegations of torture and other ill-treatment, and pursue all avenues to hold the Iranian authorities to account, including by exercising universal jurisdiction to criminally investigate all officials reasonably suspected of involvement in crimes under international law and issue arrest warrants where there is sufficient admissible evidence.

#Iran regime sources have said that the execution of the #MohammadBroghani and #MohammadQobadloo are not "in the current plans" of the regime, despite the "roomers" spread by sources outside of the country.

This comes despite the report of the 2 prisoners transfer to solitary confinement section of #RejaiiShahr of #Karaj.

The report calls it a psychological warfare to make the regime look weak since the "fake news" that their delay is because of foreign pressure.

Coalition made in heaven (or CIA's headquarter)

In the past 43 years, US has worked hard to find a puppet, strong enough to replace the regime of Iran.

After each uprising in Iran, from the civil war of the 80s, to reformist movement by Khatami, to election protests of early 2000 and now during the recent protests, they worked hard to push for Reza Pahlavi, the son of former dictator Mohammad Reza shah as their main puppet.

The latest uprising in Iran has been the strongest and the longest (but nit the bloodiest) uprising in IRI's post 1980s history.

From the start, the charlatans like Reza Pahlavi and Masih Alinejad tried to take credit for the protest and act like they are the ones "leading it".

The radical push by specially Alinejad, the Trump loving , neo-con paid "reporter" pushed the protest toward confrontation and the peaceful demonstration of the (mostly) women in the country were sidestepped by assassination of IRI police and officials, attacks against government building, mosques and police/paramilitary buildings as well as the attack against religious mullahs all over the country.

The recent "coalition" in the US, by Reza Pahlavi and Alinejad has now got support of Ali Karimi former football player, Golshifteh Farahani the Hollywood actress and some lesser known people is trying to create a US (western) backed alternative to the IRI regime who also openly terrorize anyone who is questioning actions and roles of these people online and in person.

They are also behind most of the fake stories about the death sentence against 1500 protesters, calling those who received death sentence for protesters, despite the fact that they were involved in actions that led to death of many IRI police and Basij members making it harder for those who want to prevent the death penalty to help and save the lives of those people.

It is really sad to see that people (specially media in west) give publicity and credit to these people, specially Alinejad, who has been in close contact with extremists Christian Taliban leaders such as Pompeo, Bolton and other high ranking GOP members in US, but (sadly) also many center and left wing politicians and activists in Europe who seems to ignore her background and those who fund her activities.

The protests in Iran has slowed down and the regime seems to have caught many of the key players in the attacks against the police and military but also many activists in the country, except in Baluchestan region by the border of Pakistan where militant groups seems to have escalated their attacks against the regime and the IRGC and Basij has responded with extreme brutality.

The situation in Kurdish regions (mostly Kurdistan Province, but also Kermanshah province as well) is also escalating into open armed conflict between the regime and organized and unorganized groups in various parts of the provinces.

Iran, after the initial protest, had a chance to isolate and push the extremists in the regime to give up their iron grip of the country and many voices inside the regime were also were talking about the possibility of easing the strict dress codes pushed by Reisi and the hardliner, but sadly, those voices are now silenced since they no longer see the uprising as a possibility to reform, but a call for regime change. The opposition seems to be in denial or completely ignoring the fact that regime, as uinpopular as it is, still holds a sold base among the religious groups, military and IRGC who are now united against anyone who question their authority.

I am afraid that with the way things going now, the opposition groups, including the Maoist/Islamist cult of Rajavi (MKO/NCRI) as well as the radical groups such as Kumelah, PKK and Ansarollah turning Iran into a open civil war, similar to those in the 80s.

These are just my thoughts, and I have to say that I left engaging in Politics in Iran many years ago and I am more of an outside observer than a person who participates or engages in discussion or actions.

from November: Saudi Arabia is accused of beheading 12 people 'while global attention is focused on World Cup' as country backtracks on pledge not to use the death penalty for non-violent crimes

The spate of executions were punishments for drugs offences, though the country implemented a moratorium on the use of the death penalty for non-violent crimes in 2021. 

Meanwhile, the Saudi leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, attended Sunday's World Cup opening ceremony, sitting next to Fifa boss Gianni Infantino.

قلب‌ات را چون گوشی آماده کن
تا من سرودم را بخوانم :
- سرودِ جگرهایِ نارنج را که چلیده شد
در هوایِ مرطوبِ زندان...
در هوایِ سوزان شکنجه...
در هوایِ خفقانیِ دار ،
و نام‌هایِ خونین را نکرد استفراغ
در تب دردآلودِ اقرار
سرودِ فرزندانِ دریا را که
در سواحلِ برخورد به زانو درآمدند
بی‌که به زانو درآیند
و مُردند
بی‌که بمیرند!
