Balochistan National Movement condemns Iranian regime in strongest terms for its
barbaric acts in Balochistan
The
oppressed people of Balochistan have been suffering immensely from the
oppressive policies of the Iranian regime for the past three decades. The regime
has violated even the basic human rights of Baloch people by means of execution,
use of sever torture, mass arrests and long-term imprisonment, intimidation and
harassment and so on.
In the
last year there is hardly any week gone by that the barbaric regime refrained
itself from carrying execution in Balochistan. In the current month of January
in two occasions mass executions were carried out by the regime in central
prison in Zahidan. The regime even resorted to barbaric and medieval acts of
amputation in Balochistan. On the 7th Jan 08, the regime carried out
this barbaric and dreadful act on five Baloch in Zahidan and cut off their hands
and legs. Again in this January in Pahra (Iranshahr as it is known) a large
numbers of Baloch activists and ordinary Baloch were arrested and put in prison
for totally fabricated allegations. Similarly another large number of Baloch
youth were arbitrarily arrested and imprisoned in Chabar on suspicion of being
involved with Baloch resistance soon after the mass arrest in Pahra.
Last year
regimes’ representative in Assembly for Zahidan, Dr Sharyari unashamedly
announced execution of 700 Baloch. The regime’s approach to Balochistan is of
savage invaders and their policies are aimed not only to marginalise but to
annihilate Baloch nation. The regime has recently embarked in unprecedented
level on promoting Shi’ism in the detriment of Sunnism by despatching Shia
Clergies in hundreds to far-fetched villages of Balochistan where there is no
single Shia person. Hence Baloch people have been experiencing very harsh
treatments from the regime. Baloch people feel that every aspect of their lives
is under direct attack from the regime. The killing of two innocent Baloch
children by regime’s murderer forces (so called security forces) on 3rd
of Jan 08 in Zahidan once again proven to the Baloch people that the regime
recognises no bound and principles when it concerns Balochistan.
In such a deprived environment, Baloch
have been resisting with their full resolve the oppressive regime. Now in
Balochistan various forms of resistance are taking place, from passive
resistance to armed struggle. These movements are adjusting according to their
strength and strategies.
Today in
Balochistan the regime has no legitimacy and support among Baloch nation, and it
is a fact.
Balochistan Raji Zrombesh (Balochistan National Movement) as a Baloch political
organisation condemns the regime in strongest terms for its barbaric acts of
amputation on Baloch, executions of Baloch, arbitrary arrests of Baloch
activists and ordinary people, imposition of Shi’ism in Balochistan and
imposition of draconian rule and policies in Balochistan.
Zrombesh
calls upon people of Balochistan to resist with resolve the regime and its
policies of annihilation. Let us commend the brave resistance of Baloch people
in Zahidan for their courageous uprising in defence of two innocent children,
killed by regime while carrying water in canisters.
We also
call upon the oppressed nations of
Baloch
nation shall rise and live freely for ever.
