Elahe Amani with Lys Anzia – Women News Network
http://womennewsnetwork.net/2012/05/14/imprisoned-mothers-iran-fea/
This year, we’re celebrating the achievement and power of MAMAS all year long, in our online exhibition MAMA: Motherhood Around the Globe. Today take a moment to visit the MAMA exhibition, share it with your mother, and connect with amazing art, provocative ideas, and inspiring stories from all over the world.
This week, when many parts of the world are celebrating Mother’s Day, we’re asking you not just to celebrate, but totake action. An action that honors the power, beauty, and leadership of mamas everywhere.
Every 90 seconds, a woman somewhere in the world dies from complications of pregnancy and childbirth. The majority of these deaths are preventable, and yet they continue to occur. Today, tell every mother around the world that her life matters. Sign our pledge to end the needless, preventable deaths of mothers globally. Give mothers everywhere a voice.
After you sign the pledge, help spread the word.

PRESS RELEASE
IRAN MUST QUASH HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER’S CONVICTION AHEAD OF PRISON TERM
4 May 2012
A nine-year jail term for a prominent human rights lawyer is another nail in the coffin for freedom of expression and association in Iran and should be quashed immediately, Amnesty International warned.
Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, who is a co-founder of Iran’s Centre for Human Rights Defenders (CHRD), was sentenced in July last year after being convicted of charges including “membership of an association [the CHRD] seeking the soft overthrow of the government” and “spreading propaganda against the system through interviews with foreign media”.
Told verbally to report to the authorities on Saturday, the organization fears he is at imminent risk of imprisonment as a prisoner of conscience.
“Mohammad Ali Dadkhah’s only crime is to have defended the rights of others. He should not even have been on trial in the first place and his sentence should be quashed immediately,” said Ann Harrison, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa.
“Sending him to prison for nine years would be a further nail in the coffin of freedom of expression and association in Iran, where spurious vague charges are frequently used in an attempt to silence those working to protect human rights.”
Mohammad Ali Dadkhah has represented many prominent clients such as prisoner of conscience Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani, facing a possible death sentence for alleged “apostasy from Islam” and Ebrahim Yazdi, the 80-year-old former leader of the banned Freedom Movement, who suffers from cancer and was recently summoned to begin serving an eight-year prison term.
While in court planning to represent a client, Mohmmad Ali Dadkhah was informed by a judge on 28 April that an appeals court had upheld both his nine-year sentence and a ten-year ban on legal practice and teaching. He had received no prior notification of the appeal court ruling. He was prevented from appearing for his client.
In 2008, Mohammad Ali Dadkhah was disqualified under discriminatory selection from standing for the Central Board of the Bar Association because of his activities as a human rights defender. In 2012, despite confirmation from the current board of the Bar Association that he was competent to stand for election, Mohammad Ali Dadkhah was once again disqualified from standing.
The CHRD, which was led by Nobel Peace Laureate Shirin Ebadi, was forcibly closed by the Iranian authorities in December 2008. Its members have continued to carry out their work in support of human rights but have faced repeated harassment, intimidation, arrest and imprisonment. Several are currently serving prison sentences in Tehran’s Evin Prison.
Executive Chairperson of the CHRD Narges Mohammadi was sent to Evin Prison last month. She is currently serving a six-year sentence for “gathering and colluding to commit crimes against national security” and “spreading propaganda against the system”.
Abdolfattah Soltani, a prominent lawyer and co-founder of the CHRD who has been held in Evin Prison since his September 2011 arrest, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for “spreading propaganda against the system”, “forming an illegal opposition group [the CHRD]” and “gathering and colluding with intent to harm national security”.
Another founding member of the CHRD and lawyer, Mohammad Seyfzadeh is currently serving a two-year sentence on charges of “forming and being a member of an association [CHRD]…whose aim is to harm national security” and “spreading propaganda against the system”.
Amnesty International considers them all to be prisoners of conscience imprisoned for their peaceful expression of conscientiously held beliefs.
“With the targeting of the CHRD, the authorities are clearly trying to send a message that those defending the rights of others in Iran should cease their work or face prosecution. These individuals must be released immediately and unconditionally,” said Ann Harrison.
“Human rights defenders should be allowed to continue their lawful and important work without hindrance.”
Dear friends:
For the Museum of Women in Costa Rica is an honor to present the online exhibition “Blue and pink” by costarrican artist Vanessa Biasetti, that you can visit in our website:
http://museodelasmujeres.co.cr/category/exposiciones/
By twigs and lemon thorns and seed of the tree Flame of the Forest, the artist evokes with poetry the illusion of three girls who has been truncated upon reaching the age of fifteen.
Vanessa says: “At fifteen, most girls dream of a world that smells of roses, with a Prince Charming who fulfill the reverd and all his desires, with a palace surrounded by handmaidens to attend. In short, they deserve to be on an altar. In that search, girls in this story found the bones, found the prince who wanted to satisfy their own desires and his palace became his final resting place. This exhibition is a tribute to three girls that at the age of fifteen found death at the hands of an acquaintance after being genitally assaulted and it all happened in the space of a just few months a few years ago.”

View the public art installation in process as IMOW and community volunteers install more than 50 large-scale photographs of mothers and midwives on the exterior of the San Francisco Main Library across from San Francisco City Hall. One of a sequence of global events, Making Mothers Visible San Francisco will call attention to the vital role that mothers play in San Francisco and communities around the world, and the importance of their health, empowerment and leadership.
This family-friendly day also features free art activities, including face painting for kids and an art making workshop for adults, in partnership with Traveling Postcards. Many of the mothers pictured will be on hand to share their stories, along with the photographers and representatives from local organizations working on behalf of mothers. The completion of the installation will be marked at 2pm with a community celebration with Jane DeCuir, a traditional singer who will perform Navajo and Cherokee songs dedicated to mothers and official remarks by Clare Winterton (Executive Director, International Museum of Women), Theresa Shaver (President/ Executive Director, The White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood) and Luis Herrera (City Librarian, San Francisco Public Library).
The event echoes the theme of the Museum’s current online exhibition, MAMA: Motherhood Around the Globe, which spotlights global art and issues on the contemporary experience of motherhood. Images from Making Mothers Visible San Francisco will be added to the MAMA exhibition.
Making Mothers Visible is a large-scale photography project spearheaded by International Museum of Women (IMOW) in association with the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood. IMOW and local communities will hold Making Mothers Visible events all over the world during the month of May, drawing attention to the global statistic that a woman dies every 90 seconds of a complication of pregnancy or childbirth. Events will take place in cities including Lagos, Nigeria; Barcelona, Spain; and more to be announced.
Making Mothers Visible is part of the INSIDE OUT Project, a global art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. It is a movement taking place all over the world using photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share untold stories. The INSIDE OUT project is a creation of the artist JR, recipient of the 2011 TED Prize.

Eine Ausstellung über Luftakrobatinnen, Raubtierdompteusen, Kunstreiterinnen, Gladiatorinnen, Seiltänzerinnen, Muskelfrauen, Trapezkünstlerinnen, Jongleurinnen und Zirkusdirektorinnen.
Ihnen standen alle Positionen in der Zirkushierarchie offen. Sie arbeiteten als Kunstreiterinnen, Dompteusen, Sensationsartistinnen, Seiltänzerinnen, Schlangenfrauen oder Jongleusen, aber auch, wenn auch weitaus seltener, als Clownessen oder Zauberinnen. Einige von ihnen waren auch Zirkusdirektorinnen. Der Zirkus des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts war ein Ort großer Widersprüche. Artistinnen konnten hier zum einen eigenständig arbeiten und auch sehr gut verdienen. Sie reisten um die Welt und erprobten alternative Lebens- und Liebesmodelle – jenseits der normativen Geschlechterrollen von Ehefrau, Mutter, Hausfrau. Etliche der „großen Nummern“ verzichteten auf Heirat und Mutterschaft und lebten beispielsweise in „wilder Ehe“ oder in lesbischen Liebesbeziehungen. Gleichzeitig war der Zirkus ein Ort strenger Hierarchien und Regeln, denen sich alle Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter zu unterwerfen hatten.
Das Frauenmuseum widmet sich in dieser von Brigitte Felderer in Zusammenarbeit mit Stefania Pitscheider Soraperra kuratierten und von Raja Schwahn-Reichmann gestalteten Eigenproduktion den Biographien vieler dieser Frauen, zeigt ihren Glanz und ihre Selbstbestimmtheit, geht aber auch Fragen von Ausgrenzung, Ausbeutung und unzureichender Altersabsicherung nach.

pforte im frauenmuseum LIEBESGLUT
Samstag, 5. Mai 2012, 17 Uhr - Konzert
Robert Schumann (1810–1856): Klavierquartett c-Moll (herausgegeben und ergänzt von Joachim Draheim)
Johannes Brahms (1833–1897): Klavierquartett g-Moll op. 25
Berit Cardas, Violine
Klaus Christa, Viola
Bjørg Værnes Lewis, Violoncello
Charles Owen, Klavier
An diesem Spätnachmittag im Mai stellen wir zwei leidenschaftliche Werke von zwei leidenschaftlichen Komponisten gegenüber: Das durch Joachim Draheim ergänzte „verpfuschte Quartett“ (Zitat R. Schumann) des 19-jährigen Robert Schumann erklingt ebenso wie das g-Moll Klavierquartett des 28-jährigen Johannes Brahms.
Die überströmende Emotion verbindet beide Werke und macht uns eines deutlich: Die wichtigste Quelle großer Kunst ist ein großer innerer Reichtum, ein tief gefühltes Leben, das sich in einen künstlerischen Ausdruck verwandeln kann. Während im Werk von Brahms schon vollendete Meisterschaft klingt, drückt sich in Schumanns Werk die jugendliche Kraft noch ungefiltert und doch so lebendig aus. Die Sehnsucht, in die Welt aufzubrechen trifft das Glück, an einem wunderschönen Ort anzukommen …
