Iranian Government prohibits all publication in Kurdish language

Accoring to rojhalat.info, The weekly newsletter ‘Niday Gerroos’ was mandated to be published only in Farsi.
Niday Gerroos is a social and political weekly newsletter that has been publishing since 1994 in both Kurdish and Farsi languages. This newspaper was issued in Bicar, a Kurdish city in east of Kurdistan.
Mehmud Mehmudi, the editor of the newspaper protested against the decision and alleged that ‘although our newspaper has not been completely closed but we are told by the Office of Islamic Culture and Public Relations that we are not allowed publishing it in Kurdish’.
Language is one of the most important tools in preserving the culture and the literature of a nation and by destroying a language, a nation is killed; as all the main cultural elements are buried once the language is annihilated.
In Iran the Kurdish language is not prohibited in Media only, this language has never been allowed to be used in education and all educated Iranian Kurds are Kurdish natives fluent in Farsi and do not know how to write and read in Kurdish. Their mother tongue is strongly influenced by Farsi and in some Kurdish cities; near the borders of Persians the Kurdish language is almost forgotten.

Group rapes of Prisoners in karaj prison under orders of Iranian Government prison officials

According to Freedommassenger.com, three young prisoners were transferred to other prison cellblocks to be group raped by prison gangs.
In the past few weeks, at least three young prisoners who were transferred to cellblocks 1, 4 and 6 on orders of prison officials Mohammad Mardani and Khadem, were tied up by prison gangs and group raped. These three teenagers were hospitalized for a week after this incident and are now suffering from severe physical and psychological problems…
These cases were disclosed because most prisoners were aware of it but there are reportedly high numbers of rape cases which are kept secret. Prison gangs carry out this violent act with assurances from Mardani and Khadem that they will not be prosecuted and punished. Some of these young prisoners are used as sex slaves and are sometimes rented to other prisoners.
Currently, a large number of teenage prisoners and young prisoners are kept with dangerous criminals in cellblocks 1, 3, 4 and 6 and are at risk of sexual assault and being infected with dangerous diseases such as HIV.

more than 62 Executions in the month of September by the Iranian government

During recent days, seven prisoners were hanged in prisons of Shahr Kord, Zabol, Qom and Varamin amounting to 62 executions in Iran in September. Twenty-three of them were executed on September 18 (22 in Gohardasht and Evin prisons and 1 in Ghazvin). At least 38 more prisoners have been executed secretly bringing the number of executions in September to 100. Among those executed were a 17 year old juvenile and two teens at ages of 19 and 20 who were under 18 at the time of their alleged offence.
Other suppressive measures of the mullahs’ regime during recent days have been lashing in public of prisoners in Tabas and southern cities for charges of theft, issuing brutal verdict of eye gouging for a young man, arbitrary arrests, assassination of opponents, repression of women under the fabricated banner of “Ifaf Project” (chastity), raiding residential houses using excuses such as rounding up satellite equipments and etc.
Resorting to such unbridled savagery is indicative of clerical regime’s failure to restrain the crisis that has engulfed this wicked regime in its totality and has escalated its fear of public anger explosion.
