Under Iranian law, women and girls’ rights are not equal to those of men and boys when it comes to the age of criminal responsibility, rights to marriage, divorce, the custody of children, participation in public and political life, in sports and in arts, work, freedom of movement, the transmission of their nationality to their children, and more. Women’s and girls’ testimonies in courts have no legal value for certain categories of crimes, while weights only the value of half that of a man’s in other cases. Women and girls are also entitled to lesser compensation for the violations of their rights.

Epstein
Newly released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case include multiple references to Iran, ranging from claims of a meeting with a former Iranian president to allegations of arms trading, financial networks, and property links connected to Tehran.

Among the emails released from the Jeffrey Epstein case is a letter written by Robert Trivers, a prominent American evolutionary biologist, referring to a meeting between Epstein and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s former president.

This is not the only instance in which Iran appears in the documents made public by the US Department of Justice.

The letter, dated March 24, 2018, appears among millions of documents released as part of the Epstein case. In it, Trivers refers to a meeting between Epstein and Ahmadinejad in New York following the Iranian leader’s speeches at the United Nations General Assembly, where he had delivered strongly worded remarks against Israel and Zionism.
 
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said:
You are misinformed.

In Iran, under the Islamic Penal Code (IPC) of 2013 (Book Two on Hudud crimes), several sex-related offenses classified as hudud (fixed Sharia punishments) are punishable by death. These primarily involve zina (unlawful heterosexual intercourse), lavat (male sodomy), and related acts.

Death is not automatic in every case, it depends on factors like marital status (ihsan: being married with prior lawful intercourse), use of force, religious status of the parties, age (pubescent/mature), repetition of the offense, and strict evidentiary rules.

Child molestation or rape of minors often falls here and has led to executions.

Iran retains the death penalty for these under Sharia-based hudud and applies it more frequently than most countries.

These are the legal provisions as of the current IPC; we do not tolerate degeneracy.

A US judge has ordered the release of a document purported to be a suicide note written by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a month before his death.

A copy of the handwritten note unsealed on Wednesday mentions a months-long investigation that "found nothing", and says "it is a treat to be able to choose one's time to say goodbye".

Epstein's former cellmate claims he found the note tucked into a book after Epstein tried to kill himself in July 2019. Epstein was found dead in his cell a month later.

The BBC has not verified that the note was written by Epstein, and US authorities have not commented.

His death, which was ruled a suicide by authorities, came as he awaited a sex-trafficking trial.

The purported note was placed under seal as part of criminal proceedings involving the former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, who was being held in the cell at the time while awaiting trial for four murders.

Tartaglione is a former police officer convicted of quadruple murder who was at one point accused by Epstein of attacking him, which he denied. He first mentioned the note's existence last year on a podcast.

A scan of the note in the court document unsealed on Wednesday shows a handwritten sentence saying, "They investigated me for month - FOUND NOTHING!!!", and mentioned years-old charges.

"It is a treat to be able to choose one's time to say goodbye," the note says.

"Watcha want me to do - Bust out cryin!!" it continues. "NO FUN - NOT WORTH IT."

The note amounts to only seven lines of text, leaving uncertainty over its purported meaning.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) did not immediately respond to the BBC's request for comment.

The note was accompanied by a May 2021 letter submitted to the court by John A Wieder, a former lawyer for Tartaglione. The lawyer described the note as "the original document" that federal Judge Kenneth M Karas ordered be provided to the court at that time.

The New York Times had petitioned the judge in White Plains, New York, to unseal the note, arguing there was no need to keep it secret. The newspaper was also seeking other documents that the judge did not rule on.

Federal prosecutors have also pushed for the note to be released, saying that there was no longer a compelling interest in keeping it under seal and that Tartaglione's public statements about the note "constitute a waiver of the need for continued sealing".

In his order unsealing the note on Wednesday, Judge Karas concluded that the note "is subject to the presumption of public access".

"The Court comfortably concludes that public access to the Note promotes 'a measure of accountability' as well as ensures that the public will 'have confidence in the administration of justice,'" Karas wrote.

He added that the court agrees that Tartaglione's repeated public discussion of the note's contents "constitutes waiver of the attorney-client privilege as to the document" and that sealing is not justified on that basis.
