The intervention quickly turned into a heated altercation, where the public supported the two teenage girls. According to the Prosecutor General of Fars Province, a judicial case was opened against the two teenage girls, who were arrested, formally charged, and transferred to the Shiraz Juvenile Detention and Correctional Center. Authorities also confirmed that on Wednesday, August 27, the individual who filmed and shared the video was detained. As part of the crackdown, the café where the confrontation occurred was sealed by judicial order.

The statistics remain alarming with 166 people executed in Iran since July 23. At least two prisoners were publicly hanged in the cities of Kordkuy and Beyram Larstan, as a deliberate effort to normalize violence and humiliate society. The parents of political prisoners facing the death penalty have been consistently protesting on Tuesdays, despite relentless security pressures and judicial threats. They demand that the executions of their children be halted, and political prisoners be freed. Holding the pictures of their loved ones, they cry out, “No to executions” and “Our children are innocent — stop the executions.” https://tinyurl.com/2pdr38e2

The visa case of Mehdi Nasiri — former editor-in-chief of state newspaper Kayhan under Khamenei in Iran and political deputy of the Policy Council for Friday Prayer Leaders — has reached Canadian immigration authorities, and his visa may soon be revoked. Shadi Sadr, a lawyer, journalist, and human rights advocate, recently revealed on her Instagram channel that two months ago her team submitted a detailed letter to Canadian officials calling for accountability of past and present officials of the Islamic Republic. “One of the authorities confirmed by email that they are reviewing our documents on Nasiri,” she said. Sadr emphasized that, under Canadian law, anyone who has held a senior position in the Islamic Republic since 2003 is barred from entering the country. “If a visa has been issued for such individuals, it must be canceled,” she added. Nasiri himself confirmed the news on his YouTube channel on Tuesday, August 19, announcing plans to launch a campaign in response. He also disclosed that the visa of his wife, Fereshteh Mazinani — who was due to travel again to Canada — has already been revoked. Two months ago, CBC Television aired a report on Nasiri. Nassiri, who entered Canada with the slogan “from Tajzadeh to Shahzadeh,” is now in Canada presenting himself as a monarchist activist.
