Clara Buenger, German jurist and politician stated in the German Parliament today: "I am reminded of the words of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, who recently, from Evin Prison, urged resistance against the large-scale war on women in Iran. Narges, we hear you, and we must remain united in solidarity for as long as the people of Iran continue their struggle for freedom." The women, the Kurds, those in Iran who take to the streets, they are the brave ones. In this regard, I think of the words of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, who recently called from Evin

A message from Narges Mohammadi for Toomaj Salehi's freedom.   WE MUST RISE UP! Toomaj Salehi, is the voice of "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement & its soundtrack.

Let us not allow the blood of another young person to mar the pure expanse of our land. We can prevent this! The Islamic Republic must understand that by issuing

  Informed people of Iran,   I am Narges Mohammadi. You are hearing my voice from Evin Prison. My phone card has been disconnected for nearly 5 months, & I am sending this message out using Sepideh Gholian’s phone card.   An hour ago, "Dina Ghalibaf," entered the women's ward of Evin Prison with bruises & experience of sexual abuse. For years, we have witnessed many women who have endured assault, abuse, and beatings by government agents; however, today the Islamic Republic, not from a position of strength but out of desperation, has dragged a full-scale war against all women to every street in Iran.

Narges Mohammadi is spending her tenth birthday in prison. She’s 52 years old and faces over nine more years behind bars. Despite the time passing, she still can’t make phone calls or have visitors. She couldn’t even attend her father’s funeral.   How long will you keep us from hearing my sister’s voice? Narges’ phone card has been disconnected since the 8th of 29 Nov 2023. After our father’s death, while it was expected that my sister would at least be allowed to attend the funeral, she was not permitted by prison authorities.What astonishes me is that it has been 54 days since

My dearest Narges, It's your birthday again. Your 10th birthday in prison. Another year has slipped away.   Sometimes, time serves to bridge the gap, while at other times, it does not. Yet, it intensifies the longing to be together and see each other. I often find myself wondering, how much longer must this separation endure? Since the day I proposed to you, many years have passed, but how many of those years have we truly spent together? You were once the April girl, and today you stand as a Nobel laureate. Yet, to me, you remain the same energetic Narges, brimming with the zest for life, your

  Here is What Nadia Murad Nobel Peace Prize Laureate & Human Rights Activist Wrote about Narges and her fight for Women’s rights :   “I wish I had known as a young girl growing up in rural Iraq that women like Narges Mohammadi existed. The men in charge of my country, like so many leaders around the world, tried to convince women and girls that no one fought for us, that our lives were less important, that protests were useless, and that imprisonment—the punishment for any defiance—meant silence. Narges proves the opposite is true. Her life is devoted to fighting the oppression

The Islamic Republic is afflicted by the pain of people's disapproval and hatred, and its international weakness is a consequence of this. The Islamic Republic has turned the streets into a battlefield against women and youth in an attempt to alleviate the untreated pain of illegitimacy and the collapse of its authority through intimidation and fear. It seeks to remedy the weakness and absurdity of its claims on the global stage through shameful domination and brute force domestically. The brave resistance of Iranian women in the streets and ongoing civil disobedience have shaken the foundations of Islamic Republic. The streets are ours, and

In this case, the Revolutionary Guards committed murder, physical and psychological torture, and sexual harassment.     Sepideh Kashani, Niloufar Bayani, Hooman Jokar, Morad Tahbaz, Taher Ghadirian, Kavous Seyed-Emami, Sam Rajabi, and Amirhossein Khaleghi were arrested on June 22, 2017, and were kept for 2 years in solitary confinement in Ward 2A of the Revolutionary Guards. During this time, they were subjected to intense and brutal psychological and physical torture, and sexual harassment. This case, which accused environmentalists of spying and corruption, among other things, was one of the most unjust and made-up cases brought by the Revolutionary Guards against activists and civil society.

      Previous Cellmates of Sara Tabrizi: The government must be held accountable for Sara's death.   She was with us for a week. Her fears were not alien to us. She spoke of her lonely nights in solitary confinement and her terror of the interrogators' threats becoming reality.

From the next day, she was under pressure in the interrogation room,

May this auspicious occasion mark the end of the oppressive regime, paving the way for democracy, freedom, & equality to flourish for the people of Iran & beyond.   Dear compatriots, Another winter has passed, and a new season of growth begins.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, As members of the United Nations Human Rights Council, I address you with grave concern regarding the ongoing human rights violations in Iran. Despite the commendable efforts of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission and the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights of the United Nations, the situation in Iran continues to deteriorate. The people of Iran are enduring systematic, widespread, and institutionalized human rights abuses at the hands of the regime. With the recent surge in protests and social movements, the regime's violent repression has escalated, targeting not only political dissidents but also women, religious minorities, and ethnic groups. For

Glory and power of the movement "Woman, Life, Freedom" with the presence of resilient and steadfast women, both in prisons and on the streets. In every moment of captivity, the resilience of resistance, imprisonment in narrow cells and misery, tortures and sinister plans of forces claiming security, breathing in the vast expanse of the sky, watching the mysterious and painful hills of Evin with a heart full of sorrow, it was just one image, woman, life, freedom. .
