In questo episodio ci concentriamo su un modello di violazioni dei diritti umani in Iran, focalizzandoci sull’arresto, la detenzione e la tortura di donne, insegnanti e familiari di prigionieri politici. Diverse fonti documentano gli arresti e le condizioni critiche di persone come Leila Saremi, Farzad Moazami, Masoud Jamei, Arghavan Fallahi e vari insegnanti e attivisti, evidenziando preoccupazioni riguardo alla mancanza di giusto processo, alla negazione delle cure mediche, a richieste di cauzioni esorbitanti e a pressioni psicologiche. Inoltre, una fonte riporta le recenti esecuzioni di quattro donne in diverse carceri iraniane nell’arco di sole due settimane, spesso con identità o accuse non divulgate, sottolineando il silenzio del sistema giudiziario su questi casi. Nel complesso, l’episodio dipinge un quadro di repressione e intimidazione diffusa da parte del regime iraniano nei confronti di chi è percepito come dissidente o dei suoi familiari.

What does it truly mean when a society's most vulnerable are systematically silenced? And you know, what courage does it take to resist when even hope seems imprisoned? Welcome to another deep dive from the NCRI Women's Committee. The NCRI is a broad coalition of Iranian opposition groups, and its Women's Committee focuses specifically on advocating for women's rights and tracking their situation inside Iran. Today, we are taking a really vital look at something deeply concerning the escalation of pressure, these attacks, and just the awful mistreatment faced by political prisoners in Iran, particularly women.

The international community really needs to step up. The United Nations, the Special Rapporteur, the Human Rights Council, all international human rights organizations. They must take immediate action. To save the lives of political prisoners in Iran, there really is no time to lose. And one crucial step, something absolutely paramount, is for an independent delegation to be immediately dispatched.

They need to visit Iranian prisons. They need to speak directly with the political prisoners. Face to face. Yes. This is a vital nonnegotiable step.

It just cannot be delayed any longer if we're gonna prevent a deepening humanitarian crisis and frankly hold the regime accountable. Thank you for joining us on this critical deep dive into the lives and the struggles of political prisoners in Iran. And to learn more about these issues and the ongoing efforts to support these incredibly courageous individuals, we do invite you to visit wncri.org. What we've explored today, it's truly a testament to both systemic cruelty and, the unbreakable spirit of human defiance. It leaves us with a powerful question, doesn't it?

How can we as a global community ensure that these voices of resistance are not silenced and that justice ultimately prevails against such calculated oppression? Thank you for joining us. Hope to see you next time.
