Public Statements in December 2004

State sponsored violence against women by fundamentalist regime in Iran Boston, MA – 2004 marked the year of gross human rights violations in Iran. According to the Iranian media and sources inside the country, as of the end of the year the following women were facing execution or stoning in Iran:
In addition, in 2004, four women were executed:
Recently, WFAFI has received information on a mass stoning of 10 women in the city of Bushehr, southeast of Tehran, which took place in 1989. Another mass stoning took place in the province of Bakhtaran (also known as Kermanshah), southwest of Tehran, where 6 women were stoned to death simultaneously in a similar fashion. Women’s Forum Against Fundamentalism in Iran condemns these barbaric acts and calls on all the governments and organizations to take action. The oppressed women of Iran hold those governments that appease Iran’s fundamentalist regime responsible for the ongoing sufferings and violence. Policies such as appeasement, engagement and dialogue will only embolden state sponsor of violence against women in Iran. Mullahs’ regime deserves our scorn and will be removed from power in the hand of Iranian people, particularly its women. Policies that will weaken the Iranian regime, such as economic and international isolation, are the only solution the western governments can put forth in expediting Mullah’s removal from power. We need to stand behind the efforts of those who want to send this barbaric regime to the dustbin of history.
