Iran: Reyhaneh Jabbari’s mother calls for protests

Reyhaneh Jabbari was a 26-year-old woman who was executed for defending herself to rape by an agent of the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence. Her mother Mrs. Shole Pakravan,

has issued a post on social media calling the Iranian people to take a stand against the following:

The daily increase of executions and bloodshed;

Torture of political prisoners;

Trafficking of Iranian girls;

The increasing corruption;

The Plundering of our nation’s wealth

Mrs. Pakravan has asked the Iranian people to rise, take action, and break the silence! To   stand firm in defense of justice, and to consider justice and freedom far more important issues than even our daily meals

Iran: As schools get ready to open, many teachers still linger in prison

The arbitrary resentencing of imprisoned teacher Rasoul Bodaqi in mullahs’ shamcourt to 3 more years in prison

As the schools are about to open, a large number of teachers in the country continue to linger in prison, including Messrs Mahmoud Beheshti Langeroudi, Mehdi Bohlouli and Reza Neiknejad who are recently arrested, as well as Messrs Rasoul Bodaqi, Esmail Abdi, Ali-Akbar Baghbani, Alireza Hashemi and Abdolreza Qanbari who were already in prison. This is while Ali-Asghar Fani, Rouhani’s Education Minister, deceptively expressed hope on September 15 that the imprisoned teachers would be released before September 23, the day that schools open.

The prison term for political prisoner Mr. Rasoul Bodaqi, the noble teacher that has been in prison for six years for defending teachers' rights, ended on August 4, 2015, but the Iranian regime refuses to free him and in an arbitrary and sham trial condemned him to another three years in prison .
