Iran is a prison for female reporters<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Daniel Mahdavi<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its newest report, Reporters Without Borders classified Iran as one of the most dangerous places in the world for female journalists, at the bottom of the list. Reporters Without Borders previously called Iran as the greatest prison for journalists<\/a> and a prison for female reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iranian regime is known for its egregious human rights violations, and over the past four decades, it has executed thousands of its political opponents, namely \u00a0the massacre of 30,000<\/a><\/a> political prisoners in 1988; most of them were members and sympathizers of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization<\/a> of Iran (PMOI\/MEK). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, every year, the\nIranian regime arrests, tortures and executes thousands of people, on baseless\naccusations such as blasphemy, insulting Islamic holy places or people, actions\nagainst national security, spreading propaganda against the state, and disrupting\nthe public order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iranian regime has also issued heavy sentences and arrested journalists, female reporters and bloggers who protest against the regime\u2019s oppressive policies by publishing the truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nIranian regime is ranked 170^{th<\/sup> among 180 countries in freedom of\npress, but regarding female reporters the Iranian regime is at the bottom of\nthe list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n}

Iranian\nwomen suffer from the institutionalized misogynistic rules of the Iranian\nregime. They suffer from gender discrimination in work places, and the regime treats\nthem as second class citizens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\naddition, the Iranian women are subjected to cruel measurements such as forced\nveiling and marriage that violates their fundamental rights.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, under the Iranian regime, the female reporters have no rights and are subjected to heavy pressure and restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The International community has to condemn the Iranian regime\u2019s human rights violations, particularly the violation women\u2019s rights, and refer the regime\u2019s human rights dossier to the U.N. Security Council. Iran\u2019s rulers must be held accountable for their numerous crimes against the Iranian people . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a>, said, \u201cThe World should recognize the right of the Iranian people<\/a> for freedom and democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
