IRAN: Acid attack on 5 Kurdish women in a month

NCRI - On Wednesday August 12, Afsaneh Ghorbani, a 37-year-old Kurd woman in the city of Baneh in Kurdistan province became the victim of acid attack by state criminal organized gangs. Thus in the last month five Kurd women have been attacked by acid, 4 of which in the city of Bukan (West Azarbaijan Province).

Splashing acid on the face of defenceless Iranian women, that is carried out on the pretext of mal-veiling to intensify the atmosphere of fear in the society, began from September 2014 in Isfahan and Tehran that now has been extended to other cities of Iran.

By implementing various plans to fight mal-veiling and approving them in Parliament, the religious fascism ruling Iran keeps the door open for suppression of women by various government criminal gangs.

Ms. Sarvenaz Chitsaz, Chair of the Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, while expressing deep hatred of the crime of splashing acid on a young Kurdish woman in the city of Baneh, said these atrocities that are hurting the conscience of every human being must be condemned by all international human rights and women's rights organizations.

Chair of the Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran called the membership of such a misogynist regime in the Women's body of the United Nations shameful and called on women's rights defenders to reprimand the clerical regime in protest to constant and continuous acid attacks against Iranian women and expel it from this body. By ignoring the crimes of this misogynist regime, it must not be given an open hand to hang Iranian women, attack them by acid and harass them by various suppressive measures under the pretext of mal-veiling on one hand, and on the other hand to have a seat in the Women's committee of the United Nations.

Activists Demand Justice for Young Boy Raped, Murdered in Kabul

A group of civil society activists in northern Balkh province on Monday demanded severe punishment for those alleged to have sexually abused and killed a three-year-old boy named Yunus in Kabul last week.

The activists issued a resolution that urged the country's law enforcement and courts to take action and severely punish the perpetrators of the heinous act, who have yet to be identified.
"Balkh civil society activists have raised their voice to ask Afghanistan's judicial system to act seriously regarding the sexual abuse of the underage boy," civil society activist Malika told TOLOnews.
The head of the northern branch of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC), Sayid Mohammad Sami, called the rape of Yunus an inhuman act. "Unfortunately, such occurrences are the result of the fact that rule of law is fading away in our society," Sami said.
"Such a situation means that any brutal human and those who are against the law in every hook and nook of the country commit illegal acts and then there is no one to arrest them and send them behind bars," he added.
The extent of concern about whether or not justice will be served in Yunus' case was made readily apparent by the Balkh activists on Monday. One, named Malalai Usmani, went so far as to suggest the local community take their own action and not risk leaving it in the hands of law enforcement and the judiciary.
"We were against kangaroo courts in the past, but now I want to say that the local residents should arrest the perpetrators who raped the child and punish them before they reach the police and courts," Usmani told TOLOnews.
The crime against Yunus has sparked anxieties among families around the country as many lack faith that the government will or even can protect them from such evils.
Nadim Paikan, a seven-year-old boy in Balkh, described his shock at the news of Yunus' rape and murder, which he called unforgivable. "I was at home when I heard the bad news - they killed Yunus," he said. "They should be punished severely. How did they do this? How did they rape and then kill a three-year-old child?"

Seven Found Dead in Central Mexico

PUEBLA, Mexico – The bodies of seven people were found in a rural area near the central Mexican town of San Jose Acateno, authorities said Thursday.

Municipal police received a report in the wee hours of the morning about the presence of bodies wrapped in blankets at a roadside depression known as El Hundimiento.

Police retrieved the bodies and are working to identify them, the Puebla state Attorney General’s Office said.

Authorities from Puebla and neighboring Veracruz state spent more than eight hours searching El Hundimiento and environs, the AG office said.

Two women in the region were murdered last week and plastic bags containing the bodies of two men who bore signs of torture were discovered in the area on July 7.

San Jose Acateno, a town of some 8,500 people, sits on the boundary with crime-wracked Veracruz, where gunmen killed six people, including a reporter and a Zetas drug cartel boss, in an attack on a bar early Thursday.
