      Description
      Baraeh has been responsible for issuing indictment order for women protesters. He has accused women with charges relating to their participation in protest gatherings and has asked the prosecutor to open criminal proceedings against them. These charges include: • Insulting the Supreme Leader • Propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran (Mahsa) • Gathering and colluding to commit a crime against internal/external security (Mahsa). The Women, Life, Freedom protests began following the killing of Mahsa (Jina) Amini on September 13, 2022, while in the custody of the Islamic Republic’s Moral Security Police. The protests quickly spread across the country and are considered the largest revolutionary uprising against the government since the founding of the Islamic Republic. The government in Iran responded to these protests with deadly violence. According to reports from human rights organizations, the Islamic Republic’s law enforcement and security forces have killed at least 551 people, at least 68 of whom were children.
