NCRI Women's Committee
We work extensively with Iranian women outside the country and maintain a permanent contact with women inside Iran. The Women’s Committee is actively involved with many women’s rights organizations and NGO’s and the Iranian diaspora. The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women. Attending UN Human Rights Council meetings and other international or regional conferences on women’s issues, and engaging in a relentless battle against the Iranian regime’s misogyny are part of the activities of members and associates of the committee.

Episode 17
Roya Zakeri was shopping at a pastry shop in downtown Tabriz on Sunday, October 15, but when she stepped out, some Hijab patrols and plainclothes agents confronted her and told her to put on her veil. When she refused to do so, they beat her so badly that her legs hurt.
So she sat down on the ground and started crying out, “Down with the dictator,” and “Death to Khamenei.”
Now, the woman who was later identified as Roya Zakeri, was viciously brutalized by security forces for insulting the mullahs’ supreme leader. They hit her so much that she went unconscious. And then, they carried her away in an ambulance.
People said she had been taken to a mental hospital in Tabriz. Razi Hospital is a neurology and psychiatric hospital.
