Iran regime’s defiance increases tensions with Israel

  By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh Rising tensions between the Iranian regime and Israel have the potential to spiral into a wider conflict if not adequately addressed. There are several reasons for the heightened tensions. First of all, although the Iranian regime attempts to distract attention from the direct involvement of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria, Tehran continues to increase its military influence there and use its proxies against Israeli targets. Israel last month carried out an airstrike in Syria on a location where Iranian officials were meeting. Iranian leaders were reportedly meeting to discuss developments regarding their country’s drone and ballistic missile capabilities in Syria. The attack occurred on the same day that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed the Iranian government for an attack on a vessel owned by an Israeli in the Arabian Gulf. He said: “Last week, Iran attacked an oil tanker … and harmed the international freedom of navigation....

Father & son, political prisoners, threatened contacting their family

-

 A Father and son, political prisoners, Ebrahim Khalil Seddiq-Hamedani and his son Salar, were threatened by the prison warden and guards.

According to the human rights center of “No to Prison- No to Execution”, on Monday, September 6, 2021, Mehdi Daniali the head of “Moshavereh Ward” at Urmia Prison has summoned political prisoners Ebrahim Khalil Seddiq-Hamedani and his son Salar confiscating their phone cards. He also threatened them that a new case will be filed against them.



Mr. Ebrahim Khalil Seddiq-Hamedani and his son Salar use their phone card to call their family and parents but Daniali has threatened them that if they are conveying the news of prison to the outside world, a new case will be filed against them.

News say that on Tuesday, September 7, 2021, when the prison authorities couldn’t find any evidence in that regard, they issued them new phone cards.

Ebrahim Khalil Seddiq-Hamedani and his son Salar are each sentenced to 19 years in prison.

Such suppressive measures and threatening prisoners for their calls to their families is an instance of psychological torture against, especially, political prisoners in the prisons of the Islamic Republic. On the other hand, after leaked footages from the Evin Prison, prison authorities are most feared of news leaking from the prison.

 

About the two political prisoners:

Political prisoner, Ebrahim Khalil Seddiq-Hamedani, 61, is suffering from diabetes. The necessary insulin does not exist in the prison and his toes are turning black. Despite his immediate need to medical care outside the prison, they refrain from deploying him for treatment. This political prisoner is in immediate need to medical care by a specialist.

Mr. Seddiq-Hamedani was detained in late winter of 2019, along with two of her children, Salar and Maryam (Mahsa), by security forces.

The first session of his and Salar’s trial was held on September 9, 2021, at branch No.2 of Urmia Revolution Court while they were denied access to any lawyer. Eventually the court sentenced each to 15 years in prison, in addition to another year on charge of “propaganda against the state.”

They were also sentenced to three other years in prison at branch No.3 of Urmia Revolution Court on charge of “tape-recording military centers”. Ebrahim Khalil Seddiq-Hamedani and his son were sentenced to 19 years in prison in total each.

Political prisoner, Salar Seddiq-Hamedani, is a 22-year-old student from Urmia. He was detained on February 23, 2019, along with his father Ebrahim Khalil and his sister, Maryam (Mahsa), by security forces in Urmia. All three were taken to Urmia Central Prison on April 23, 2019, after two months of interrogation at the Urmia Intelligence bureau’s detention center.

In late spring of 2020, amid the spread of coronavirus at Urmia Central Prison, Salar and his father, both on hunger strike, contracted coronavirus but they were prevented from referring to prison’s infirmary.

  By Shahriar kia Footages from Iran on Wednesday show the regime’s police humiliating youths on the street. Under the pretext of fighting crime and thugs, this inhumane measure is another desperate attempt to intimidate the public.   The regime calls defiant youths “thugs” to tarnish their image, w hile the youths  continue targeting the regime’s repressive centers. Therefore, the regime justifies its oppressive measures against defiant youths.     The real “thugs , ” who killed  1500 peaceful protesters  during the major  Iran protests  in November ,  are officially protected and wear uniforms of either the  Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)  or  p olice. Also, organized gangs affiliated with the regime freely circulate in cities with knives and terrorize the public and extort money from people. All the while, the mullahs’ regime arrests, amputates hands or executes those poor people  who are  forced to steal to...

Threats by Friday Prayers Leaders To Iran’s Women Shows Mullahs’ Misogynous Nature

By Sedighe Shahrokhi In a meeting with the head of the regime’s State Security Force (SSF) in Isfahan, central Iran, on Friday, Yousef Tabatabai, Isfahan’s Friday prayers leader and supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s representative, threatened women, paving the way for further oppression. “We should make the society unsafe for the few (mal-veiling women) and not allow them to break the norms on the streets and parks easily… The SSF should be given more authority in dealing with those breaking the law and the norms. We should not be afraid of any hostile action in dealing with the violators,” he said. One of the victims of the 2014 acid attacks in Isfahan These remarks once again show the regime’s misogynous nature. Earlier in 2014, Tabatabai’s statement against so-called “mal-veiled” women resulted in the regime’s thugs attacking young Iranian women and splashing acid on their faces. In a similar development, Abolghasem Yaghoubi, the Friday prayers leader and Khamenei’s representative in No...
