Woman Expelled from Iranian University Just before Obtaining Degree Because She\u2019s Baha\u2019i<\/a><\/p>\n

A young Baha\u2019i woman was expelled from Iran\u2019s Islamic Azad University in the city of Isfahan one semester before completing her bachelor\u2019s degree in architecture because of her religious beliefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSarir Movaghan had declared she was a Baha\u2019i in the university enrollment form and got accepted without a problem, but four years later just before her final exams, she was expelled even though she had not tried to preach her religion during school years,\u201d a source close to Movaghan\u2019s family informed the Center for Human Rights in Iran on July 26, 2018.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old had been enrolled in the university since 2014.<\/p>\n

Nine Years After It Was Drafted, Iran\u2019s Parliament Begins Debating Child Abuse Bill<\/a><\/p>\n

A bill drafted nine years ago in Iran to combat child abuse is finally being debated by Parliament following a number of recent abuse cases widely covered by the media.<\/p>\n

On July 24, 2018, lawmakers overwhelmingly approved the outline of the Bill For the Protection of the Rights of Children and Youth, which is intended to protect minors from violence, abuse, and harassment. Experts have criticized the bill for lacking solid enforcement mechanisms.<\/p>\n

In October 2017, Iran-based attorney Nemat Ahmadi, who specializes in child abuses cases, told CHRI that the state is unlikely to enforce the bill once it becomes law.<\/p>\n

Some MPs Claim Other Issues Should Be Given More Priority<\/p>\n

Iran renounced the non-binding guidelines after the supreme leader forbade them from being implemented in Iran\u2019s education system following a smear campaign launched by religious conservatives and hardliners.<\/p>\n

Public concerns about the lack of mechanisms for enforcing child protection laws arose in January 2018 when Saeed Toosi, a well-known Quran reciter, was acquitted of child abuse charges after initially being sentenced to four years in prison in 2016.<\/p>\n

The office of the supreme leader reportedly intervened in favor of Toosi before he was acquitted.<\/p>\n

Other disturbing stories have also brought the issue into the limelight.<\/p>\n

On July 24, 2018, the day the draft bill was passed, Ehya News published a report about a girl named \u201cNegar\u201d in the city of Karaj who had been abused all her life but her father.<\/p>\n

The state-run Islamic Republic of Iran (IRIB) broadcasting organization had aired a similar report two months earlier.<\/p>\n

Paper Crisis and Bankruptcy of Newspapers in Iran<\/a><\/p>\n

The heads of Iran\u2019s newspaper are unhappy with the expensiveness and the consequent lack of paper in Iran; they warn that the newspapers will either have to have their page numbers reduced, or even worse, shut down entirely. Because within just two months, the price of paper has gone up by 4000 Toman per kilo.<\/p>\n

Many news outlets, particularly those not run by the state, are now on the verge of a breakdown; for instance, \u201cHambastegi\u201d has had to shut down due to financial problems; \u201cHamshahri\u201d and \u201cSazandegi\u201d have had to remove 8 pages from their publications due to the ongoing economic issues; \u201cSharq\u201d has had to close down altogether; and \u201cHaft-e-Sobh\u201d has had to increase its prices to make up for the high costs.<\/p>\n

These days, it\u2019s very rare to find papers that match the national currency, in Iran\u2019s markets. Non-governmental media outlets are all at a crossroad: to cease their publications, or, to increase their prices; with the difficult circumstances revolving around paper on one hand, and the lack of trust in its management on the other, most outlets are opting for the first option (i.e., to close-down).<\/p>\n

State Mafia Swindling Iranian Truck Drivers<\/a><\/p>\n

While the second round of Iranian trucker\u2019s nationwide strike staged from Monday July 23, 2018, is spreading day by day, state-run Tabnak website reveals regime\u2019s incapability to resolve truck drivers\u2019 issues. \u201cTwo months after truckers staged a strike, their problems are still in place unresolved, with officials being unable to take acceptable and satisfactory steps towards addressing truckers\u2019 concerns; an undeniable fact that proves a great part of earlier promises have been no more than paying mere lip service,\u201d writes the website in an article titled \u2018despite earlier promises, truckers\u2019 concerns are still in place\u2019 on July 22, 2018.<\/p>\n

Started from May 22, 2018, and lasting for 11 consecutive days, the first round of truckers\u2019 strike kicked off with truck drivers in seven provinces refusing to carry cargo. The strike soon spread to 274 more cities and turned into a nationwide protest.<\/p>\n

Faced with huge dimensions of truck drivers\u2019 first round of nationwide strike, the regime was eventually forced to make some concessions after unsuccessfully deploying all types of repressive measures. The concessions included a 20 percent increase in transportation fees, lowering transport companies\u2019 commission rates down to 12-14 percent, and stopping the usage of the controversial \u2018SEPAHTAN\u2019 tracking system in trucks.<\/p>\n

Iranian Sunni leader makes appeal to Iraq\u2019s top Shiite cleric<\/a><\/p>\n

Prominent Iranian Sunni leader Molavi Abdul Hamid sent a letter July 21 to Iraq\u2019s top Shiite cleric, Ali al-Sistani, regarding the unequal status of Sunnis in Iran.<\/p>\n

In his letter, Abdul Hamid wrote that Sunnis in Iran are facing \u201cextreme sectarian discrimination\u201d amid \u201cthe absence of religious freedom,\u201d the lack of \u201cSunni elites in public positions\u201d and \u201cimbalances between Shiites and Sunnis in Sunni areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sunnis are \u201cprevented from building mosques in Tehran,\u201d he wrote, and \u201cholding Friday and Eid prayers in Tehran and other major cities.\u201d<\/p>\n

For decades now, Sunnis have been calling for the construction of a Sunni mosque in Tehran. However, Iranian authorities are impeding such a move, as they fear a Sunni mosque would turn into a political center opposed to the Shiite-led Islamic republic. The Iranian authorities also fear that such a religious center in Tehran would be exploited by Iran\u2019s regional opponents, namely Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Abdul Hamid called on Sistani to use his influence to help end the suffering of Sunnis in Iran, which his letter indicated has been occurring for four decades.<\/p>\n

Religious Freedom Anathema in Iran<\/a><\/p>\n

U.S. Ambassador for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback said, \u201cIran has been one of the worst countries in the world on religious persecution.<\/p>\n

The recent Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, hosted by the United States in Washington, discussed ways to combat religious persecution and ensure greater respect for religious freedom. Among the topics of discussion was Iran.<\/p>\n

In an interview, U.S. Ambassador for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback said, \u201cIran has been one of the worst countries in the world on religious persecution:\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re anything but a Shia Muslim in that country, you do not have religious freedom. If you\u2019re a Sunni, if you\u2019re a Baha\u2019i, if you\u2019re a Christian, if you\u2019re a Jew, if you\u2019re a Zoroastrian, any of those, you do not have religious freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described an example of religious persecution in Iran, this time of a Sufi, during his recent speech at the Reagan Presidential Library in California:<\/p>\n

\u201cLast month, a simple man, a bus driver, a father of two children, and a member of the Iranian Gonabadi Sufi Dervish Community, was convicted and sentenced to death. His sentence came on questionable grounds following violent clashes between security forces and the Dervishes\u2026He was reportedly denied access to a lawyer before and during his grossly unfair trial\u2026Sadly, on June 18th, the regime hanged Mr. Salas in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Iran<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Economic Crisis Worsens As Central Bank Is \u2018Closely Watching\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

The Central Bank of Iran has attributed unprecedented hype surrounding the country\u2019s forex and gold markets \u201cmainly to enemies,\u201d adding that the increase in gold prices and rate of exchange of foreign currencies has nothing to do with Iran\u2019s \u201ceconomic realities.\u201d<\/p>\n

A statement released by the bank on July 29 said, \u201cRecent developments in the gold and forex markets are part of the conspiracies hatched by the country\u2019s enemies in order to agitate the economy and rob the people of their psychological security,\u201d adding that the bank is \u201cclosely watching the developments.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the Iranian judiciary has announced the arrest of 29 individuals on charges of disrupting markets, adding that more arrests are under way.<\/p>\n

On July 29<\/a>, the rate of exchange for the U.S. dollar crossed the 100,000 rial milestone and even neared 110,000 rials in the afternoon, while the price of standard gold coins reached over 40 million rials, the Iranian media reported.<\/p>\n

\"Iran<\/p>\n

Khuzestan caught in the crises of water, air, and fire<\/a><\/p>\n

Government bureaus and banks were shut down due to severe smoke from a wildfire in Hoor-Al-Azim wetland. Keep in mind that this is happening in a province, which is used to far-beyond-standard environmental pollutions. The World Health Organization has twice announced in 2011 and 2013 that Ahwaz is the most polluted city in the world. Since then, the situation has only worsened. This year the air pollution of Ahwaz reached the record of 60 times higher than safe levels.<\/p>\n

Situated in the southwest side of Howeizeh, on Iran-Iraq border, Hoor Al Azim literally means \u201cthe huge wetland.\u201d With an area of 1180 km2, it is the largest wetland in Khuzestan and one of the largest in Iran. It used to be extremely rich in plant and wildlife and enjoyed the international attention. Now, it is on the verge of annihilation.<\/p>\n

One of the main elements of this destruction is the Iranian regime\u2019s oil company, breaching rules, regulations, and responsible norms of conduct. They conducted a campaign of drying the wetland. More than half of the Iranian section of Hoor Al Azim has been annihilated. There were dozens of villages on the borders of the wetland who made a living out of the wetland and its aquatics. Drying of Hour Al Azim has resulted in unprecedented haze storms throughout Khuzestan.<\/p>\n
