Iranian women's rights activists call for action by the international community to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its state-sponsored and institutionalized violence against women in Iran.

The Iranian regime’s Intelligence Ministry in Ahvaz has murdered a 20-year-old local under torture on Tuesday 5th June 2018, reports indicate, after a 1-year prison sentence.
Ahvaz intelligence authorities contacted the family of Hatam Marmazi on Tuesday to have them come and receive his corpse. His family was kept in the dark despite the fact that they constantly sought information about his whereabouts. All security and intelligence entities denied any knowledge of his arrest.
A number of Dec/Jan demonstration protesters arrested by intelligence agents had seen Marmazi in the Ahvaz Intelligence Department and informed his family of his whereabouts at the time. Although the mullahs’ regime has attempted to silence the voice of the justice-seeking Iranian people, this nation has never succumbed to their demands and continues to rise and keep the flame of protests very much alive across the country.
