Islamic Republic of Iran: 74 lashes, prison for eating in public during Ramadan
Here again we see the empire of fear that is so much in evidence also
in Saudi Arabia and the Islamic State, and everywhere Sharia is
implemented.
“74 lashes, prison term for anyone caught eating in Iran during Ramadan,” NCRI, June 21, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
NCRI – Anyone in Iran caught eating or drinking in public during the days in the month of Ramadan may receive 74 lashes in addition to a jail term of up to two months, a high ranking judiciary official of the Iranian regime has threatened.
Dadkhoda Salari, the prosecutor general in the city of Kerman said on Friday: “Any individual who eats or drinks in public places could face a prison term of 10 days to two months and 74 lashes,” the state-run Mehr news agency reported.
Another state-run news agency warned the public that special patrols have been stationed at streets and public parks in Tehran during the holy month of Ramadan to deal with those who drink, eat or smoke in public.
“The police will deal with those individuals who smoke, drink water and other liquids, eat a snack or food in public,” the state-run ISNA news agency reported.
Last year hundreds of Iranians were lashed in public under the medieval laws of the religious dictatorship which can sentence offenders to 74 lashes and two months in prison for eating during Ramadan.
At least 200 people were flogged in last year in the Iranian province of Qazvin for eating in public during Ramadan.
In 2014, Qazvin official Ismail Sadeghi-Niaraki acknowledged the scale of medieval punishments now being carried out within the regime under the rule of so-called ‘moderate’ president Hassan Rouhani.

Tunapokua
kwenye kambi tunapata nafasi ya kujifunza mambo mbalimbali kama vile Taarifa
sahihi kuhusu VVU na UKIMWI; Ufuasi mzuri wa dawa na Kuweka wazi hali yetu;
Usafi binafsi; Stadi za maisha na Mabadiliko ya tabia kutokana na msukumo wa
kundi; Haki na wajibu watoto; Huduma na msaada wa kisaikolojia; Jinsia,

kuhitimisha baadae leo tarehe 19 Juni.
Kambi hii ya tano ya shirika la
AGPAHI imetukutanisha watoto 57 kutoka Mikoa wa Shinyanga na Simiyu kwa muda wa

kwenye shidano la mrembo na mtanashati wa Ariel Camp, tumepata marafiki, tumekula

maeneo ya vita vya IDD AMIN na pia tumefika kwenye mpaka wa Tanzania na Uganda
eneo la Mutukula.
Tumefurahi sana kwa sababu ni bahati

Habarini za asubuhi !
Ndugu Mgeni rasmi, Awali ya yote
napenda kutoa shukrani kwako kwa kuacha shughuli zako na kuja kujumuika na sisi
hapa kwenye Kambi ya Ariel (Ariel Camp). Tunasema asante sana!
Pia napenda kuwashukuru sana walezi
waliokuja na watoto toka Simiyu na Shinyanga. Vile vile napenda kuwashukuru
wafanyakazi wenzangu wa AGPAHI na wadau wengine kwa jitihada zao za hali na
mali katika kuandaa kambi hii ya watoto. Hii ni mara ya kwanza kwa AGPAHI
kuandaa kambi hii katika mkoa wa Kagera, tunafarijika sana kuwa hapa.
Ndugu Mgeni rasmi, Shirika la AGPAHI ni shirika lisilo la kiserikali
linaloendeshwa na watanzania na watanzania wenyewe ndio sisi hapa. Kuanzishwa kwa shirika linaloendeshwa na watanzania
ilitokana na dira ya serikali ya Tanzania na ile ya wafadhili yaani serikali ya Marekani kutaka wazawa
(serikali pamoja na mashirika yasiyo ya serikali) kuendesha miradi mbalimbali
inayoshughulikia masuala ya VVU na UKIMWI na masuala ya afya ya mama na mtoto
ili kuwa na miradi endelevu.
Shirika letu linatoa huduma katika mikoa ya
Shinyanga, Simiyu na Geita. Huduma zitolewazo ni pamoja na tiba na matunzo,
kuzuia maambukizi ya virusi toka kwa mama kwenda kwa mtoto na huduma za uzazi
wa mpango. Hadi mwezi Machi mwaka huu, AGPAHI imeweza kuandikisha
wateja 96,638 (wanaume 34,342 na wanawake 55,975) kwenye huduma za matunzo ambapo 6,321 ni watoto walio
chini ya umri wa miaka 15 na hii sawa ni asilimia 7.
Vilevile AGPAHI imeweza
kuwaanzishia dawa wateja wapatao 63,048 (wanaume 21,555 na
wanawake 36,969) kwenye huduma
za tiba ambapo watoto ni 4,524 ambayo ni sawa na asilimia 7.
Dira ya shirika ni kuhakikisha tunatokomeza
maambukizi ya virusi vya ukimwi kwa watoto na kuondoa UKIMWI kwa watoto. Katika
kutekeleza azma hiyo shughuli mbalimbali zinatekelezwa ikiwa ni pamoja na
kuwapatia watoto huduma za matunzo na matibabu pamoja na huduma za
kisaikolojia. Katika mikoa ya Shinyanga na Simiyu, kuna jumla ya
watoto 694,454[1]
kati yao watoto 6,321 wanaishi na maambukizi ya Virusi vya Ukimwi.
Mgeni Rasmi, shirika
la AGPAHI lilianza huduma za malezi na kuwakutanisha watoto katika vikundi
vidogo vidogo baada tuu ya kuanzishwa kwake. Vikundi hivi vipo katika vituo vya
kutolea huduma za afya (yaani CTC) ambapo hadi sasa tuna jumla ya vikundi
vipatavyo 35 (vikundi 19 kwa mkoa wa Shinyanga na vikundi 16 kwa mkoa wa
Simiyu). Vikundi hivi vina jumla ya watoto 1,541.
Kutokana na kuundwa kwa vikundi hivyo, AGPAHI
iliweka utaratibu wa kuendesha kambi ili kuwakutanisha watoto kutoka kwenye
vikundi mbalimbali kwa lengo la kujifunza kuhusu afya na stadi za maisha na pia
kubadilishana uzoefu. Kambi hizi pia huwajenga watoto na kuwafanya mabalozi wa
huduma za watoto katika jamii. Kambi hizi za watoto zimekuwa zikifanyika mara
moja kwa mwaka; ambapo kwa mwaka huu tumeweza kufanikisha kuwa na kambi mbili.
Hii inamaanisha watoto wengi zaidi wanapata nafasi ya kushiriki kwenye kambi.
Mgeni Rasmi, kambi hii ambayo tunaifunga rasmi leo ni
ya tano kufanyika na kauli mbiu ya kambi hii ni “AGPAHI
inajali watoto wakue na kuishi kwenye matumaini chanya.” Kambi za awali zilifanyika katika mikoa ya Pwani, Mwanza
na Kilimanjaro. Hii ni mara ya kwanza kufanyia kambi ya watoto katika Mkoa wa
Kagera na tumefurahia mandhari nzuri ya mkoa huu.
Kambi hii
imefanyika kwa muda wa siku tano na imekua na idadi ya watoto wapatao 57 wenye
umri wa kuanzia miaka 8 hadi 17. Watoto
hawa wanatoka katika vituo mbalimbali kwenye halmashauri zote za mikoa ya
Shinyanga na Simiyu.
Katika kipindi hiki cha wiki moja, watoto wameweza
kujifunza mambo mbalimbali kama vile: Usafi binafsi; Stadi za
maisha na Mabadiliko ya tabia kutokana na msukumo wa kundi; Taarifa sahihi
kuhusu VVU na UKIMWI; Haki na wajibu watoto; Huduma na msaada wa kisaikolojia;
Jinsia, mahusiano ya kimapenzi na Uzazi wa Mpango; Ufuasi mzuri wa dawa na
Kuweka wazi hali yako (disclosure).
Katika wiki hii ya kambi, watoto pia wameweza
kupata huduma ya kisaikolojia pamoja na kuhudumiwa na madaktari wa watoto
kutoka Chama cha Madaktari wa Watoto Tanzania.
Mbali na mafunzo, watoto pia wamefanya matembezi na
kuona mto
Kagera, Kagera sugar factory, kuona na kuelezewa maeneo ya vita vya IDD AMIN na
pia wamefika Mutukula (mpaka wa Tanzania na Uganda).
Ningependa kutambua washindi wa Shindano la Mr and
Miss Ariel camp ambalo lilifanyika jana usiku. Washindi wetu walikua James Jackson (Mr. camp) kutoka Zahanati ya Bugarama
(MSALALA) na Anastazia Daniel (Miss
Camp) kutoka Hospitali ya Mkoa wa
Shinyanga. Naomba wasimame
na tuwapigie makofi.
Ndugu mgeni rasmi, napenda kutoa shukrani zetu kwa
Watu wa Marekani kupitia shirika lao la CDC ambao ndio wahisani wa kambi hii. Hata hivyo tuna wafadhili wetu wengine kama
EGPAF, UNFPA na USAID ambao nao wanatusaidia katika kazi zetu. Pia shirika letu
linafanya kazi kwa karibu sana na ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu –TAMISEMI na Wizara ya
Afya na Ustawi wa Jamii.
ASANTENI KWA KUNISIKILIZA!
