URGENT APPEALE: massive human rights abuses in Iranian Baluchistan.


On the eve of the so-called Presidential election in the Islamic Republic of Iran on June 12, the country is plagued by ethnic, political and religious unrest as well as massive human rights abuses in Iranian Baluchistan, the homeland of the Sunni-dominated Baluch ethnic group in the southeastern corner bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan.

 

This turmoil has taken the shape of armed clashes between the Baluch and security forces, massive arrests of Baluch protesters, and summary executions of detainees without trial. The Clerical Regime’s unprecedented campaign of oppression and repression against the Baluch and Sunnis is designed to suppress the Baluch quest for self-rule, human rights, and democracy as well as to prevent the spread of Baluchistan unrest to other non-Persian ethnic groups in Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, Turkman Sahra,  Al-Ahwazi Arab(Khuzestan), and Luristan. read more… »
