TP Articles: CIVICUS: Iran must revoke harsh sentences against human rights defenders
Serious violations of the fundamental rights of women human rights defenders are continuing unabated in Iran, says CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation. In the latest instance, Mansoureh Behkish was sentenced to four and a half years in jail for her human rights work. The Mourning Mothers Group, of which Mansoureh is a member, campaigns against unlawful killings, arrests, torture and enforced disappearances of Iranians. The group is composed of women whose children have been murdered, detained or disappeared in Iran since June 2009, and also includes family members of victims of serious human rights violations perpetuated by the Iranian government.

TP Articles: The Appeal of a Soft Landing
The alternative to a diplomatic soft landing is a war that shatters the ethnic mosaic in Syria. It's easy to imagine Sunni militias gaining control of central cities such as Homs, Hama and Idlib, while Alawites retreat to parts of Damascus and Latakia province in the north. Assad might still claim to be president in this scenario, but he would be little more than a warlord (albeit one with access to chemical weapons). It's a grim scenario in which Western air power would have limited effect.

Reference: March 8th, Commemoration of An Ongoing Struggle in Iran
Iran is in a dangerous situation where tension-causing policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran as well as those of a few foreign governments threaten the peace and well-being of the Iranian people. Perpetuation of current conditions expands the sprawling shadow of war over our country, militarizes the social atmosphere, and exposes the population - and especially women - to increased discrimination, violence, poverty, and misery.
Activists of the women's rights movement have continuously criticized crisis-invoking acts and have emphasized that the means to reduction of tension and lasting peace in the region lies in respecting the equal rights of citizens regardless of their religion, gender or sexual orientation, ending repression, expanding civil and political participation of women, inclusion of women in prevention of ever increasing violence, and engaging different groups, guilds, ethnicities and nationalities in key political and national decisions.

Asghar Farhadi: "At the time when talk of war, intimidation, and aggression is exchanged between politicians, the name of their country, Iran, is spoken here through her glorious culture, a rich and ancient culture that has been hidden under the heavy dust of politics....I proudly offer this award to the people of my country, the people who respect all cultures and civilisations and despise hostility and resentment."
