CHRI investigates and documents rights violations occurring throughout Iran, relying on first-hand accounts to expose abuses that would otherwise go unreported. We bring these violations to the attention of the international community through news articles, briefings, in-depth reports and videos, and work to build support for human rights inside Iran as well. CHRI engages in intensive outreach and international advocacy aimed at defending the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Iranian people and holding the Iranian government accountable to its human rights obligations. Key Findings > President Hassan Rouhani’s Citizens’ Rights Charter has had no impact on the human rights crisis in Iran and should not be used as a reference point for progress.

Because the presence of female poets in Iranian literature is a relatively recent phenomenon, there are few published studies describing and analysing Iranian women’s poetry; most of the critical studies that do exist were completed in the last three decades after the Revolution in 1979.

A publication of the Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran Correspondance address: B.P. 18, 95430 Auvers-sur-Oise, France. www.women.ncr-iran.org Email: [email protected] facebook.com/ NCRI Women's Committee twitter.com/ @ncri_women_comm Introduction Two years have passed since Rouhani took office in Iran. This report, is a look at the conditions of women during these two years, revealing two issues: on the one hand, the rise in suppression and pressures against women and on the other, the continuation of protests. In the month of October 2014, Reyhaneh Jabbari, 26, was hanged for defending herself against an agent of the Iranian regime’s Intelligence Ministry, a man who intended to rape her. This was while many international bodies had called for her release and protested this execution. Reyhaneh’s body was left hanging from the noose for an hour after her death. Political prisoners have been the prime victims of human rights violations. Motahareh Bahrami, Reyhaneh Haj-Ibrahim, Zeynab Jalalian, Sedigheh Moradi and Fatima Rahnama have been deprived of medical treatment despite suffering from serious illnesses. The physical conditions of Atena Daemi and Atena Farghadani, both under pressure in prison, are unacceptable and they are imprisoned for defending their freedom of expression.
