Security pressures on Pirfalak's family on the eve of the anniversary of Kian's killing
Security pressures on Kian Pirfalak's family have increased on the eve of the anniversary of his killing.
Less than a week remains until the first anniversary of the killing of Kian Pirfalak by regime forces, and his family is still under pressure from the Islamic Republic regime.
For about six months, Kian's mother, Mahmonir Molaei-Rad, has been in forced silence because she publicly identified Ali Khamenei and his forces as the murderers and those responsible for Kian's death. The Molaei-Rad and Pirfalak families have been under heavy security pressure since the day Kian was killed.
پس از کشته شدن «پویا مولاییراد» پسرعموی ماهمنیر در روز بزرگداشت تولد کیان، فشارها و تهدیدها علیه ماهمنیر شدت بیشتری پیدا کرد. طبق گزارشات منتشر شده از جانب یک فرد مطلع، تنها در یک روز بالغ بر 50 تماس تلفنی و پیامک برای یکی از آشنایان ماهمنیر مبنی بر تهدید این خانواده صورت گرفته است. اکنون نیز که نزدیک به اولین سالگرد کشته شدن کیان فرزند این خانواده است، فشارها و تهدیدات امنیتی برای برگزاری مراسم وی افزایش پیدا کرده است.
نه تنها خانواده پیرفلک و مولاییراد، بلکه خانواده جانباختگان اعتراضات 1401، در روزهای اخیر تحت فشار نهادهای امنیتی، احضار، تهدید و بازداشت قرار دارند. در خصوص فشارهایی که نظام جمهوری اسلامی بر خانواده جانباختگان سراسری از سال گذشته تاکنون انجام داده، سازمان مدافع حقوق بشر عفو بینالملل هشدار داد که مقامات ایران، آزار و اذیت خانواده کسانی را که سال گذشته در جریان جنبش «زن، زندگی، آزادی» به طور غیرقانونی به دست نیروهای امنیتی ایران کشته شدند را افزایش داده است.
According to lawyer and attorney Musa Barzin-Khalifalou, one of the reasons for pressuring the families of the victims is to inform them about the killing of their loved ones. First, it must be examined whether there is a legal prohibition on media coverage of these events.
Regarding the information laws, Mr. Khalifalou says: "There is no prohibition in the laws against anyone speaking to the media, even media outlets that are 100% opposed to the government and based abroad or affiliated with another government."
Also, in the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran, talking about an event is not considered a crime unless the person's conversation is related to classified information and documents. For example, someone who reveals a state secret that is part of national security and is classified as a document.
"Mahmonir Molaei-Rad has not revealed classified documents, but is seeking justice for his son's blood that was unjustly shed, and the government also admits that such a tragedy occurred, but blames someone else. Mahmonir speaks to Kian about the incident, which is true, and there is no legal prohibition on this."
As a lawyer and attorney, Musa Barzin-Khalifalou advised the families of the victims to never stop the process of providing information and to continue to provide information about their loved ones and the threats the government is facing to them as much as possible, and not to cut off contact with the media, because this is the only way that the path of seeking justice can continue.
Mr. Barzin emphasized that the Iranian government, contrary to what it pretends and says, does not care about human rights organizations, is extremely afraid of them, and added: "The Iranian government is afraid that these events and statements will be published in the media and international organizations, which is why they are scaring the families seeking justice. In any case, Iran has international obligations and will pay a series of costs for not complying with those obligations."
