Iran: around 1,000 girls married in Ghazvin under the age of 14!

Ghazvin census director said 920 girls under the age 14, and one girl under the age of 10 were married off last year. 
“Of course, during this period the marriage of a girl under the age of 10 has also been registered,” Mohammad Sadra said.
“Currently the highest number of marriages amongst girls in Ghazvin is between the age group of 15 to 19, and last year 3,487 girls in this age group were married,” he added.

Prior to this Mehdi Khodabakhshi, the representative of Tehran’s public prosecutor and the supervising assistant prosecutor of Evin Prisonwas not willing to allow Daemi’s transfer to medical centers outside of prison.

Stichting van de Familieleden STFA

Ik heb de vrienden van de Stichting van de Familieleden STFA tijdens een reis naar Amsterdam ontmoet.
Ik was met mijn leerlingen onderweg naar Amsterdam met de trein.
Mijn leerlingen waren dan aan het zingen. Dan kwam een vrouw bij ons. zij pakte haar gitaar en deed met de groep mee. 
Voordat we in Amsterdam aankwamen, vroeg ik haar naam en zo is ons vriendschap begonnen.
Nu na de jarenlang weet ik veel over Iran, wat nooit in de media te vinden valt.
Zelfs de journalisten die in Iran rapportages maken komen of niet mogen zich met bepaalde onderwerpen bemoeien.
Ik ben blij dat ik mijn vrienden van de stichting Iraanse familieleden kan helpen. Ik ben van mening dat ons steun en hulp de probleem grondig aanpakken. anders heeft dat geen zin.
Wij hebben in ons klas een spaarpot staan. Wij doen regelmatig ons bijdrage daarin.
Ik ga zelf in mijn vrije tijd naar stad en deel ik brochures uit en ik ben nu een vrijwilliger die mensen om hulp vraag.
Ik vraag jullie ook om hulp.
