Iranian Schoolgirls ‘Forced To Watch Porn’ To Dissuade
Protests: IranWire Report
Iranian Schoolgirls
------
02 March, 2023
Iranian security forces have been forcing schoolgirls
to watch pornographic videos during mandatory sessions aimed at discouraging
their participation in anti-regime protests, according to a report from
foreign-based news outlet IranWire.
The report, citing unnamed sources, said that security
forces have conducted mandatory sessions in Tehran’s districts 4 and 5, as well
as in the city of Bandar Mahshahr, wherein schoolgirls were forced to watch
pornographic videos to convince them that protests against the regime would
lead to sexual decadence in Iran.
The report added that a group of girls at Shahid
Reihane-ul-Nabi school in Bandar Mahshahr, who had chanted slogans against the
Islamic Republic in the school’s courtyard in October, were forced to watch
videos that included scenes of rape and sexual intercourse between humans and
animals.
In recent weeks, members of the Islamic Revolutionary
Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Basij, the IRGC’s paramilitary arm, have reportedly
visited girls’ schools in Tehran’s 4th and 5th districts, and shown videos of a
sexual nature to discourage them from participating in protests.
Parents from at least three girls’ high schools in
Tehran have reported male agents in plainclothes visiting the schools and
showing pornographic content, according to journalist and educational expert
Nejat Bahrami, cited in the report.
According to the report, a group of families filed a
formal complaint with a school principal and the General Department of
Education in Tehran, and threatened to withdraw their daughters from the
institution.
However, the Department of Education allegedly warned
both the students and their families of potential repercussions, including the
possibility of being reported to the security forces.
The death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian
Kurdish woman who died on September 16 after being arrested by the morality
police in Tehran for allegedly breaching the country’s strict dress rules for
women, triggered months of protests that quickly escalated into calls for the
overthrow of the Islamic Republic.
Schoolgirls across Iran joined the protests triggered
by Amini’s death, with many videos on social media showing them taking off
headscarves and chanting anti-government slogans, including on school premises.
Over the past three months, hundreds of cases of
respiratory distress have been reported among schoolgirls in Iran, with some
needing hospitalization.
An Iranian lawmaker said on Wednesday that around 1,200
schoolgirls had been poisoned in recent days in two different cities.
Some Iranians, including prominent activists, have
blamed the poisonings on the regime, saying that they are deliberate attacks
and a form of revenge against schoolgirls for participating in protests.

Hijab-Friendly Salons in Singapore Where Muslim Women
Can Get Their Hair Done In Privacy

For Muslimahs who wear hijabs, privacy is necessary,
while being served by an all-female staff and the availability of
halal-certified hair products are a plus. We all know salons that meet these
needs aren’t exactly easy to come by, even in Singapore where beauty services
can be found everywhere.
There’s good news though – there is a growing number
of hair salons that cater specially to the Muslimah community, as well as other
salons that have private rooms or a space just for female customers. What’s
more, they have a full range of hair services and also serve a wide range of
budgets – whether it’s a simple haircut or a perm and special dye job you’re
looking for.
Here is a list you want to bookmark.
This new branch of Chez Vous is dedicated to those who
desire complete privacy and luxury service. There are private rooms for those
who want to be seated alone and also semi-enclosed “pods” for others who are
comfortable with partial privacy and perhaps want to be seated together with a
buddy. Expect premium complimentary perks including fancy drinks, high tea
treats, and an express head spa service with every service bundle.
Looking for a hip and hijabi-friendly salon in the
heartlands? Haircove has private rooms, an all-female stylist team, uses
halal-certified hair colour and has branches in three different locations
across the island. On top of all that, the prices are affordable.
A ladies-only offshoot opened by the well-known Korean
hair salon Leekaja (now known as Bada Hair), this luxurious enclave at Mandarin
Gallery offers premium hair services by skilled stylists in a gorgeous space.
The hair products that Kantik uses are predominantly vegan-friendly and halal.
Already a popular spot with Muslim ladies, Karva is a
women-only salon that provides hair and nail services. It’s also a kid-friendly
place to boot – your child can get a haircut here, too, and can play in the
kids corner while you’re getting yours.
Karva is known for catering to the needs of its Muslim
customers – there’s a prayer room in the salon, while the hair products are
halal-certified. There are also branches in the north, east and west districts,
so you’ll definitely be able to find an outlet that is within a convenient
distance.
Barber 25, a barber shop located in the CBD, started
this ladies' spa and salon with private rooms that caters only to women within
its space. Get a haircut or perm by Japanese stylists and treat yourself to a
scalp and hair spa. You might even want to head down to the salon with your
partner or husband, and enjoy your pampering session while he gets a shave and
cut.
Here’s another salon located in central Singapore with
VIP rooms for those who want complete privacy. These rooms (there are three in
total) are available for reservation at no extra charge and on a first-come-first-served
basis. Enjoy the comfort of a fully reclining chair and a wash basin that
“comes” to you – both equally essential for the ultimate relaxing experience,
especially if you’re getting a lengthy and complicated hair-treatment process
done.
Frustrated by how difficult it was to find a
ladies-only salon here, former Mediacorp artiste Nura J started Pearlista to
cater to the hijabi community. The full-service chain salon that serves only
female customers has branches in four locations now – in Orchard, as well as
the neighbourhoods of Eunos, Clementi and Woodlands.

Schoolgirls in Iran Continue To Suffer From Mysterious
Poisoning Cases
01 March, 2023
More schoolgirls were poisoned in Iran on Wednesday,
state media reported, adding to a wave of suspected attacks that activists have
blamed on the regime.
“In continuation of the serial poisoning of students,
a number of high school girls (in Tehran) were poisoned,” the semi-official
Fars news agency reported.
The girls were poisoned due to the release of some
kind of spray in the school, the agency said, citing the parents of the
students.
In another incident on the same day, the semi-official
Tasnim news agency reported poisonings in seven different schools in the
northwestern city of Ardebil, with 108 schoolgirls taken to hospital for
treatment.
“In these schools, the students smelt gas or something
similar,” Tasnim quoted the president of Ardebil University of Medical Sciences
as saying.
Over the past three months, hundreds of cases of
respiratory distress have been reported among schoolgirls, with some needing
hospitalization.
An Iranian lawmaker said that around 1,200 schoolgirls
had been poisoned in recent days in two different cities.
Zahra Sheikhi, a member of the Iranian parliament’s
health committee, told the Iran-based Khabar Online news site that as of
February 27, 799 cases of poisonings of schoolgirls have been recorded in the
city of Qom, and nearly 400 other cases have been recorded in the city of
Boroujerd between February 21 and February 27.
No arrests have been made, and the suspected
poisonings are currently under investigation, according to Iran’s police chief.
On Sunday, a government official said that the attacks
were a deliberate attempt to force the closure of girls’ schools. However, he
later retracted his statement.
‘Revenge’
The poisonings come more than five months after
protests that spread across Iran following the death in custody of Iranian
Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini in September.
Some Iranians, including prominent activists, have
blamed the poisonings on the regime, saying that they are a form of revenge
against girls for participating in protests.
“Today another chemical attack on schoolgirls in
Tehran to avenge participation in anti-mandatory hijab and anti-regime
protests,” Iranian-American activist Masih Alinjead wrote on Twitter.
“This (is) biological terrorism.”
Molavi Abdolhamid, Iran’s most prominent Sunni cleric
who has been highly critical of the regime since the protests began in
September, also said that the poisonings were a way for the regime to retaliate
against girls who participated in the demonstrations.
“The poisonings of schoolgirls in Qom and Boroujerd is
an inhuman and anti-Islamic act … it is revenge for their recent uprising,”
Abdolhamid wrote on Twitter.
Others drew comparisons between those behind the
poisonings in Iran and extremist groups such as the Taliban in Afghanistan and
Boko Haram in the Sahel, both of whom have demonstrated opposition towards
girls’ education.

Behind bars, women of Iran’s Evin prison refuse to
give in
March 2, 2023
PARIS: “Listen to this! One. Two. Three!” Down the
crackling phone line from the women’s wing of Tehran’s Evin prison, a chorus of
prisoners then launch into a raucous song.
It’s a Persian rendition of the Italian protest song
“Bella Ciao”.
“All for one and one for all!” they sing, laughing in
shared defiance in support of the “Woman, life, freedom” protests that have
shaken Iran’s clerical authorities for five months.
The audio clip of the January telephone call, released
on social media by a daughter of one of those held, has become a symbol of the
courage of the women held in Evin prison and their refusal to stop campaigning
even behind bars.
Many such as environmental activist Niloufar Bayani,
arrested in 2018, have been held for several years. Others including the
activist Narges Mohammadi, tipped by supporters as a Nobel Peace Prize
contender, have spent much of the past decade in and out of jail.
Some were arrested well before the women-led protests
sparked by the September 16 death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian
Kurd who had been detained for allegedly violating the strict dress code for
women.
But their numbers swelled in the ensuing crackdown.
Several women have been released in recent weeks,
including Alieh Motalebzadeh, a journalist and women’s rights campaigner whose
daughter posted the viral clip of the “Bella Ciao” protest song, and French-Iranian
academic Fariba Adelkhah.
‘Basic rights and freedoms’
But campaigners have rejected the amnesty as a PR
stunt and key figures remain detained.
They include Bayani and Mohammadi and also
environmental campaigner Sepideh Kashani, arrested in the same case as Bayani,
the labour activist Sepideh Gholian, journalist Golrokh Iraee, arrested in the
protest crackdown, and German-Iranian Nahid Taghavi.
Also held in Evin are Fariba Kamalabadi and Mahvash
Sabet, two members of the Bahai faith not recognised by the Islamic republic
who were detained in July and are now serving a 10-year prison sentence apiece
for the second time in their lives.
These women remain deprived of their freedom because
Iran’s clerical authorities under supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
“tremble at their words”, said Jasmin Ramsey, deputy director of the New
York-based Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI).
“The hijab headscarf is a pillar of the Islamic
revolution and so is the subjugation of women. They hate it when women speak out
and say ‘I can do anything!'” she told AFP.
Ramsey dismissed the recent amnesty, saying: “The
doors of Iranian prisons are revolving when it comes to political prisoners…
The prisons will swell when there are more protests.”
Of those who remain jailed, she said: “Many need
medical help and their basic human rights have been violated for so many
years.”
The CHRI is now leading a petition signed by almost 40
other rights groups and directed at the current European Union presidency
holder Sweden urging EU nations to summon Iranian ambassadors in unison for
International Women’s Day on March 8.
The ambassadors should be told to “stop detaining and
committing violence against women who are calling for basic rights and freedoms
in Iran” and to “end the physical and sexual violence against women detainees
and protesters”, it said.
‘Sound of a revolution’
Mohammadi, a member of the chorus in the “Bella Ciao”
song, has in the last months emerged as among the most outspoken of those held,
denouncing the conditions in Evin and vocally supporting the protests.
“Narges does not stay silent. This is not acceptable
for the Iranian government,” her Paris-based husband Taghi Rahmani told AFP in
October.
In December, she released an open letter from prison
denouncing the sexual assault of detainees and detailing shocking cases of
women being raped by their interrogators.
“I believe that we, the brave, resilient, lively and
hopeful women of Iran, will come to the streets and will continue to fight
despite the government’s repressive and violent measures and despite the danger
of assault and even rape.”
Sepideh Gholian, who is serving a five-year sentence
on national security charges after supporting a strike by workers, in a
lacerating letter published by BBC Persian in January described the methods
used by interrogators to force confessions and the screams heard within the
prison.
“Today the sounds we hear […] across Iran are louder
than the sounds in interrogation rooms; this is the sound of a revolution, the
true sound of ‘Woman, life, freedom’,” she said.
The women have also launched appeals published on the
Instagram account of Mohammadi for the Islamic republic to halt executions,
after four men were hanged in cases related to the protests.
“The women have shown they are voices of change,
freedom and equality. One reason Narges is still there is they (the authorities)
are scared of her. She makes them quiver,” said Ramsey.

Women in Kashmir take up sports as a career despite
terrorist attacks on sports venues
1 March, 2023
Jammu and Kashmir [India], March 1 (ANI): The third
Khelo India National Winter Games 2023, the biggest winter sports competition
the nation has ever seen, came to an end on Thursday at the ski resort of
Gulmarg, in the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
After the nullification of Article 370 in August 2019,
this winter sports carnival saw more than 1,500 athletes representing 29
States, Union Territories and institutional teams participating in 10 sports
disciplines like Alpine Skiing, Nordic Skiing, Snowboarding, Snow Shoe, Ski
Mountaineering, Ice Hockey, Ice Skating, Ice Stock, Curling, Bob sledge and
Bandy.
The lack of proper infrastructure and facilities for
training and playing does deter boys and men from pursuing sports as a career
choice. The women of Kashmir have had it doubly hard due to the social stigma
and gender inequality prevalent in society which discourages them from taking
up sports professionally.
Terrorism in Kashmir had a significant impact on
sports in the area, with terrorism being one of the main factors affecting the
sporting landscape. Sports were affected as terrorists attacked sporting events
and venues.
Terrorist groups carried out numerous attacks on
sports venues, including cricket stadiums, which are popular in the region.
These attacks led to the cancellation of matches and tournaments, as well as
the closure of sports facilities.
Moreover, the threat of violence made it difficult for
athletes to train and compete in the region. Many athletes were afraid to
participate in sporting events due to the risk of being targeted by terrorist
groups. This had led to a decline in the quality of sports in Kashmir, as well
as a lack of opportunities for athletes to showcase their talents.
However, in the years of counterterrorism and
combating radicalism in Kashmir, sports have made a comeback and even women
have started to take it up as a professional career choice.
Many women athletes have shattered the glass ceiling
and chosen to play games. Some of the women from Kashmir who have made it big
are Afreen Hyder, Afshan Ashiq, and the wonder kid Tajamul Islam.
Afreen Hyder, the top female Taekwondo athlete from
Kashmir, has continued her impressive run by winning a bronze medal for J&K
at the senior National Taekwondo Championship. Afreen, who has always
represented Jammu & Kashmir with pride at the national and international
levels, did so once more by winning a medal at the Senior National Taekwondo
Championship, which took place in Maharashtra from February 10 to 12. She is
the first female taekwondo competitor from Kashmir to receive a medal in the
Senior Nationals championship in Kyorugi.
Afshan Ashiq is a footballer from Kashmir who is an
icon for football in the valley, especially among young girls. She is also a
qualified coach and has trained many aspiring footballers. She has represented
FC Kolhapur City in the 2019 Indian Women’s League football competition and has
been knocking at the national team doors for quite some time now. She has also
met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussed the lack of sports
infrastructure in Kashmir.
Some of the challenges faced by women athletes in
Kashmir are harassment and violence from conservative elements who oppose
women’s participation in sports as well as limited opportunities and exposure
to compete at higher levels. So this is credited to the families of these women
who despite the hurdles have supported their sportswomen in every way.
Not an easy thing to do in a conservative society,
repressed under terrorism for decades and always embroiled in political
intrigue and communal disharmony. So when these families defy conservative elements
and push their women to realise their full potential, it is really a win for
India and its ability to keep terrorism at bay.
Kickboxing is a popular sport in Kashmir that has
produced many champions like Tajamul Islam, Aabid Hameed and others. Kickboxing
offers a chance for youngsters in Kashmir to come out and do something
meaningful in their lives. However, kickboxing also faces many challenges in
Kashmir such as a lack of infrastructure, funding, support and security.
Tajamul Islam is an Indian kickboxer from Kashmir who
has won two gold medals in the World Kickboxing Championship. She is the
youngest kickboxer in the world and the first Kashmiri girl to achieve this
feat. She also runs her own kickboxing academy in the Bandipora district.
According to the web sources, Tajamul Islam was captivated by martial arts
since she first watched a kickboxing academy functioning near her school. She
joined the academy and started training under her coach Faisal Ali Dar. She has
been winning local championships since 2015 and then participated in national
and international events. She is also inspired by Spiderman, her favourite
movie.
That Kashmir Valley is healing and making its way
towards peace and harmony is evident by the career trajectories of its women and
men making it in arenas of physical combat and competitive sports and bringing
medals and laurels to the Union Territory of J&K. (ANI)

Taking a cue from Saudi, Uttarakhand eases norms for
women Haj pilgrims
02nd March 2023
By Narendra Sethi
DEHRADUN:
Taking a cue from the Saudi Arabia, the Uttarakhand government has
relaxed the rules for women Haj pilgrims from the state. The state government
has adopted a flexible approach this time by giving special exemption to women
Haj pilgrims.
Uttarakhand Waqf Board Chairman Shadab Shams told this
daily, “Now, women going on Haj have been exempted from the obligation of many
rules. Women will be able to go on Haj without a male relative (husband, son,
brother, etc.), while the rule of going on the journey in groups of four women
has also
been abolished.”
“Islam is changing now. Saudi has also relaxed the
rules for performing Hajj. After this,
the Uttarakhand government has also taken the initiative to give special
concessions to women pilgrims going on Haj.
Now, single women can also apply for Haj, he
said.
The Uttarakhand Haj Committee has started preparations
for Haj 2023. The last date to apply is March 10.
Last year, 739 applicants from nine districts of the
state had applied for Haj. The highest number of 284 applications came from
Haridwar district. As many as 194
applications came from Udham Singh Nagar and 33 in Dehradun, of which 30 per
cent were women.
“The face of modern Islam is being seen beyond
orthodoxy, about which Muslims of all classes are now happy,” Shams said.There
was a rule that only groups of four women could go on Haj pilgrimage. Now, the obligation of this rule has been
abolished. “Now, single women will also be able to apply for Haj pilgrimage,
which has created a wave of happiness among women going on Haj,” said Hina
Azmi, an ISBT resident.

Denmark rejects demand for parliamentary debate on
hijab ban in schools
Ebad Ahmed
01.03.2023
COPENHAGEN, Denmark
The Danish government has rejected a far-right
political party's demand for a parliamentary debate on imposing a ban on
headscarves in schools.
Immigration Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek said in a
written comment on Tuesday that the proposed ban would be contrary to the
Danish law and the country’s global commitments.
“It is the legal assessment that the proposal to ban
Islamic headscarves in primary schools cannot be implemented within the
framework of the Constitution and Denmark’s international obligations,” he
noted.
However, the immigration minister, despite rejecting
the far-right’s proposal, said Denmark faces “serious challenges with negative
social control and oppression of young girls in certain environments.”
He added: “Therefore, the government cannot support
the proposal. But we will nevertheless continue to fight honour-related
coercion and oppression and negative social control.”
Earlier, in last August, the Danish Commission for the
Forgotten Women’s Struggle – a body set up by the Danish government – in its
contentious recommendations called for the hijab (headscarf) bans in Danish
elementary schools to halt “honour-related social control” of girls from
minority backgrounds.
The recommendations sparked protests where thousands
of people took to the streets to express their reservations over the
contentious ban recommendations. The wide-scale protests created an impact as
two members of the commission took back their support for a hijab ban.

Restrictions on Afghan Women Discussed at UN
By Mohammad Amin Pacha
The representatives of several countries at the
meeting of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva expressed concerns over the
existing restrictions on Afghan women and girls.
Hala Mazyad Al-Tuwaijri, the president of the Saudi
Human Rights Commission, at the UN Human Rights Council, said Saudi Arabia
calls on Kabul to rescind its decisions so women can "fully enjoy their
rights without discrimination.”
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that
Germany will make sure to continue to help all Afghans who “need water, who
need food, who need medicine.”
"We know that our efforts will not change the
brutal violation of Afghan's women's rights ... But it matters. It matters to
every single woman who is not allowed to go outside,” she said. “It matters to
every single child who wants to go to school."
UN special rapporteur for Afghan human rights, Richard
Bennett, in a report expressed concerns over the situation of women and girls
in Afghanistan.
Bennett said that the recent edicts of the Afghan
caretaker government affected the humanitarian delivery and economy of the
country.
He said that the economy experienced a further
dramatic decline of around 30–35 percent in 2021–2022.
The deputy foreign minister of Turky, Mehmet Kemal
Bozay, said that the international community must not allow the situation in
Afghanistan to deteriorate “even further.”
“We remind the interim government that recent
limitations on women such as those on the right to education are not human,” he
said.
However, the deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate,
Bilal Karimi said that the rights of women are ensured in an Islamic structure.
“Regarding the internal issues of our country, the
Islamic Emirate adjusts itself based on the Islamic laws and based on the
notions of the people of Afghanistan and no country should be worried about
it,” he said.
This comes as the permanent mission of Afghanistan in
Geneva said on Twitter that the Secretary General of the Organization of the
Islamic Cooperation, Hissein Brahim Taha, spoke in Geneva and, reiterated the
OIC's condemnation of Kabul's edicts banning women from education and work,
saying: “It is against our religion.”
