Een tijd geleden heb ik een Iraanse man ontmoet. Hij was vroeger in Iran leraar. Hij kan niet 20 jaar naar Iran gaan omdat mullahs in Iran zijn. Hij doet 2 dagen in de week vrijwilligers werk voor de stichting. Hij vroeg aan mij of ik wou voor mensenrechten project helpen omdat ik in catering werk leg ik elke dag eten en drinken voor vrijwilligers klaar. Dit is mijn hulp voor de Stichting van de Familieleden  STFA.

Ik ben een accountant van beroep en ik zou graag mijn donatie aan mijn drie favorieten groepen doneren. Namelijk STFA Stichting van de Familieleden, Artsen zonder grenzen en Journalisten zonder grenzen. Mijn werkervaring laat mij telkens zien dat mensen die vrijwillig, eerlijk en vriendelijk voor een goed doel strijden gesteund moeten worden. 

Mijn beste vrienden ik wens jullie heel veel succes en ik ga dit jaar in november een flinke bijdrage aan jullie doneren.

In de kerk heb ik met een christelijke man kennis gemaakt. Hij komt uit Iran. Ik was gelijk onder de indruk van zijn persoonlijke eigenschappen. Hij heeft mij later uitgenodigd bij hun thuis. Daar ben ik meer op de hoogte gebracht over de situatie van christelijken in Iran. Ik heb begrepen hoe deze mensen in Iran worden onderdrukt en waarom zij uit Iran vluchten. De meneer die mij heeft uitgenodigd waar ik nu bevriend mee ben steunen de stichting Iraanse familie leden maandelijks. Ze hebben mij gevraagd om de stichting ook te steunen. Ik doe dit nu al 8 jaar lang elke maand. Ik ben blij dat ik in contact ben gekomen met deze stichting(Stichting van de Familieleden STFA )  met mijn vriend Josef doen wij een keer per week vrijwilligerswerk voor de  stichting en hier ben ik heel blij mee.

1 million children without identity in Iran: official

Abbas Ghaedi Rahmat, spokesman of the Social Commission in the Iranian regime’s so-called parliament said estimates show 1 million children in the country are the result of Iranian women marrying foreigners and living inside Iran, leaving these children literally without legal identities.
Currently these children don’t have any identification papers and can be a major problem for the country, he added. These innocent children will be facing legal, hygiene, social medical care and education problems in Iran under the mullahs’ regime.

Women unemployment rates in 20 provinces across Iran

The state-run IRNA news agency has published a full report on unemployment of women in Iran.
“Unemployment amongst women in 20 provinces across Iran is above 20%, and only 11 provinces are actually under 20%. The provinces of Fars and Mazandaran, with 37.8% and 31.8% respectively, have the highest rate of women’s unemployment in the country.”
The state-run IRNA news agency reported currently women’s employment in Iran is currently in poor conditions, and this is even far worse for young women. Unemployment amongst women between the ages of 15 and 24 in Iran is over 40%.
Statistics show unemployment rates amongst young women in Kohgilaviye & Boyer Ahmad Province to be 82.8%, and these numbers are 70.5% in Alborz Province; 68.7% in Ilam Province; 77.3% in Tehran Province; 65.6% in Mazandaran Province; and 62.3% in Chahar Mahal & Bakhtiary Province.
The numbers stated above show that young women in provinces across the country areLOOKING FOR WORK, but are unable in finding work.
Two provinces of Fars and Mazandaran have unemployment rates above 30% for women, and unemployment rates for young women 51.3% and 65.6%, respectively in these two provinces. Both are due to specific reasons in these provinces.
Unemployment means living life without any money, no social identity and disappointment that is cementing a climate of hopelessness for those seeking work in Iran, whereas women being able to find work means much more than just their social identity, but also having access toFINANCIAL income. 
This state-run news agency wrote in conclusion: Unemployment rates in Iran are alarming. The unemployed population being on the rise each day cannot have a good message.

Iran suppressive security forces tortured a prisoner in the presence of the judge

In a horrifying action, a young prisoner accused of forging ID cards was severely and inhumanely tortured while the judge was watching the punishment. 
Salman Nakhaie was arrested on Sept. 8, 2015 and was transferred to the local branch of the ministry of information in the city of Jiroft, western Iran. He then was formally charged and sentenced to torture and imprisonment. 
The interrogator, a man named Talebi orders the guards to extract confession from the prisoner. The guards then tie the prisoner’s feet and hands together to a working air conditioner which resulted in severe burns to his hands and his back. 
The report says the judge and the interrogator were present while Salman was being burned and tortured. The vicious and barbaric torture continued until the prisoner was unconscious
These cruel and barbaric punishments are continued in the mullahs’ ruled Iran while western countries are negotiating and dealing this medieval regime.

Story of college graduate girls resorting to street peddling in Iran

The state-run Tabnak website wrote a piece about street vendors in Iran:
Prior to this it was imagined that street vendors are resorting to such measures due to economic problems or unemployment issues. Currently, a large number of women are seen doing street peddling in the metros and they are citing financial issues, family problems and a shortage in supplies.
A number of these women are actually college graduates and they have resorted to running street shops despite all its problems.
“I have two children and I am Ok with selling goods in the metros. But unfortunately, some people don’t have the maturity to see us in such conditions,” said Leila, 45, with a bachelor’s degree incomputer science.
“I am in poor financial conditions and my earnings do not live up to provide for myself and my husband. I couldn’t find a job after graduating from college and this forced me to start street Peddling,” said Maryam, 27, a graduate in agriculture.

Ik heb de vrienden van de Stichting van de Familieleden STFA tijdens een reis naar Amsterdam ontmoet.

Ik was met mijn leerlingen onderweg naar Amsterdam met de trein.

Mijn leerlingen waren dan aan het zingen. Dan kwam een vrouw bij ons. zij pakte haar gitaar en deed met de groep mee. 

Voordat we in Amsterdam aankwamen, vroeg ik haar naam en zo is ons vriendschap begonnen.

Nu na de jarenlang weet ik veel over Iran, wat nooit in de media te vinden valt.

Zelfs de journalisten die in Iran rapportages maken komen of niet mogen zich met bepaalde onderwerpen bemoeien.

Ik ben blij dat ik mijn vrienden van de stichting Iraanse familieleden kan helpen. Ik ben van mening dat ons steun en hulp de probleem grondig aanpakken. anders heeft dat geen zin.

Wij hebben in ons klas een spaarpot staan. Wij doen regelmatig ons bijdrage daarin.

Ik ga zelf in mijn vrije tijd naar stad en deel ik brochures uit en ik ben nu een vrijwilliger die mensen om hulp vraag.

Ik vraag jullie ook om hulp.

Iran: female prisoner on hunger strike

Iran: female prisoner on hunger strike
Jailed child rights activist Atena Faraghdani went on hunger strike for three days protesting “bogus allegations” raised against her by security agents.
The mother of this prisoner said her daughter was charged on Saturday, September 12, of having “illegitimate relations” with her lawyer, Mohammad Moghimi for shaking his hand in prison. Even the lawyer has been arrested and transferred to Rajaie Shahr Prison in Karaj, west of Tehran. This arrest raised numerous protests from various lawyers. 
Despite her dire physical conditions Faraghdani launched this hunger strike and protested the bogus allegations.
She was already sentenced by a so-called Islamic court to 12 years and 9 months behind bars on charges of “propaganda against the state, measures against national security, insulting members of parliament through drawings, and insulting Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).” Faraghdani was arrested on August 23, 2014 by the IRGC and spent nearly two months in Ward 2A of Evin Prison that is under IRGC supervision. Twenty days of her detention was in solitary confinement. She also went on hunger strike for twenty days protesting lack of access to a lawyer, being deprived of phone calls with her family and her continued illegal detention. However, she suffered a heart attack on the 18th day and was hospitalized in Firuzgar Hospital, south of Tehran. A few days later she was returned to Evin Prison.
