Iran Foreign Ministry Summons Kenyan Envoy

Iran Appoints Female Ambassador to Denmark

According to Qassemi, the envoy was summoned after a Kenyan judge revoked an earlier ruling to release two Iranian prisoners, Ahmed Abolfat’hi and Seyyed Mansour Mousavi.

The Director-General of the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Department of African Affairs expressed Tehran’s protest against the court decision in his meeting with the Kenyan ambassador, Qassemi said.

In the meeting, the official expressed Iran’s dissatisfaction with the unfair ruling, declaring that the Islamic Republic of Iran has recalled its ambassador to Kenya for consultations.

In turn, the Kenyan ambassador said during the meeting that she will inform the Kenyan government about the Islamic Republic’s protest and dissatisfaction.

Qassemi said the Kenyan Supreme Court had issued a ruling to release two Iranian prisoners last February after reviewing the cases and cleared them of the charges.

However, he added, with non-judicial intervention in the process, the Kenyan police prevented the release and return of the two prisoners to Iran, and unfortunately last Friday, the Supreme Court of Kenya overturned the decision to acquit the two Iranians.

In an interview with the Persian-language Soroush Magazine on the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution’s victory in Iran, Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said over the past 50 years, the Zionists always dreamt of expanding their rule over the Nile-to-Euphrates region but the dream never came true.

“Today, the fake regime of Israel is besieged completely, losing main parts of its occupied lands,” he said.

He then referred to the resistance of the Palestinians particularly the residents of the Gaza Strip against Israeli aggression and said the current situation in the region is a result of resistance by the Islamic Revolution Front.

Iranian Forces Sharing Their Experiences in Iraq

The top commander then referred to the mobilization of 100,000 voluntary forces in Iraq and added some Iranian forces are stationed in Iraq to share experiences with the Iraqis and contribute to the organization of the Iraqi forces.

He also noted that unlike the US which has spent hefty amount of money in Iraq, the Islamic Republic of Iran has managed to make huge achievements without spending any money in the Arab country.

Iran to Unveil 112 New Nuclear Achievements Next Month

By

Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Behrouz Kamalvandi said the major achievements to go on display on April 9 will demonstrate the country’s breakthroughs in nuclear material exploration and extraction, nuclear fuel cycle, technical systems, laser technology, and power plant construction.

He said unveiling of the new products would remind the enemy that the sanctions could never undermine Iran.

In 2018, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran unveiled 83 homegrown achievements in the nuclear industry in celebration of the National Nuclear Technology Day.

In last year’s ceremony, President Hassan Rouhani inaugurated a number of the outstanding projects including the process of transferring the first shipment of yellow cake (a type of uranium concentrate powder), produced in a factory in the city of Ardakan, to a Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF) in Isfahan.

In recent years, Iranian scientists have made remarkable progress in the field of peaceful nuclear technology despite the sanctions imposed by the West.

It will be the 13th year Iran celebrates a national day to mark its achievements in the nuclear industry.

Iran Says West Sees to Whitewash Halabja Chemical Massacre

By

In a tweet posted on Saturday, Zarif said Iran and its Kurdish brothers in Iraq will not allow the Halabja chemical attack to be forgotten.

“The West may like to forget about horrors of Halabja & Sardasht—31 years ago today—but neither we, nor our Kurdish brethren, ever will,” read Zarif’s tweet while making a reference to the Iranian city of Sardasht which had been targeted in a similar chemical bombardment by the then Iraqi regime a year earlier.

Some 5,000 people were killed and another 10,000 were injured in the chemical massacre launched by Saddam on his own citizens. The attack on Iran’s Sardasht in June 1987 also left 650 civilians killed.

Zarif said Western governments have always sought to conceal their role in a historic catastrophe which continues to live on through its impacts on the health of the local population in Iran-Iraq border regions.

“First they denied it happened—then they blamed Iran. When it was clear it was their own ally, using their own chemical weapons, they were silent,” said Zarif in his Twitter post.

Iran has always criticized Western governments for their duplicity on dealing with weapons of mass destruction, especially during an eight-year war in Syria where the United States and allies have repeatedly accused the Syrian government of using chemical weapons against civilians.

That comes as independent probes have revealed that militants backed by the West and countries in the Middle East have stockpiled chemical weapons in depots in Syria only to have them bombarded by Syrian military planes during the battles.

Iran to Let Women Prisoners Serve Time outside Jail

Massoumeh Ebtekar announced the news on her Twitter page in a post that went viral on social media shortly after it was posted.

She said the Women and Family Affairs Department of the Presidential Office has reached agreement with the Judiciary’s Office for Crime Prevention to enforce that measure.

“Children who have no one to take care of them because their parents are behind bars are highly vulnerable,” she said.

In an interview with the government’s official website dolat.ir, Ebtekar noted she proposed the plan to help women inmates, especially mothers.

“I talked to inmates in women’s prisons [in several cities] face to face. Around three thousand women prisoners told me about their problems and I found out that women who have children are extremely concerned,” she said.

“Good measures have been adopted in women’s prisons in terms of workshops, general hygiene and welfare affairs, but still many problems exit in this domain,” she underlined.

The vice president also responded to a question on whether the plan is only applicable to women prisoners who have children.

“No point has been mentioned in this regard in the memorandum of understanding [with the Judiciary’s Office for Crime Prevention], but women who have little or teenage children, and whose husbands are in prison as well or are not home due to whatever reason and cannot look after their children, will face numerous maladies which cannot be easily overlooked,” Ebtekar said.

She said one of the points mentioned in the agreement is that arrangements be made for some women prisoners with heavy sentences to be able to serve time outside prison with handcuffs and shackles at the discretion of the judge.

“As a case in point, [those convicted of] theft or similar crimes that can serve their sentences outside jail, and this plan definitely does not apply to those convicted of murder,” she said.

The vice president said women prisoners who would be allowed to serve term outside jail can move around only within a few meters of their home or workplace.

Their handcuffs and shackles are sealed and controlled by a geographic information system (GIS), and they send signals immediately if manipulated.

She added the plan has been in force on a trial basis for two years now, and around 250 people have used it so far.

Ebtekar said the number of people who can be covered by the plan annually is much higher than 250.
