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 Iran to solidify their solidarity and fight together against the barbaric regime in the Congress of Nationalities for Iran. Let us call upon international community and defenders of freedom throughout the world to assist Baloch nation and other oppressed nations in Iran by expressing concern to our human rights.

 

 

Baloch nation shall rise and live freely for ever.
