Subject: Revenge mass
executions by Iranian regime in Balochistan
Dear Secretary General,
We would like to draw your kind attention towards the barbaric
treatment of the Baloch political and social activists by the Iranian authorities
in the province of Sistan o Balochistan.
Last month, it has been widely reported by
international media that Sixteen Baloch political activists have been hanged in
Iran in retaliation for the deaths of at least 14 border guards in an ambush.
The Iranian authorities have been quoted to proudly boasting that any
resistance towards the oppressive measures of its security forces in
Balochistan would be retaliated and revenged by immediately executing the
Baloch political prisoners held in various jails in Iranian held Balochistan.
This inhuman act of disproportionate measure is the continuation of Iranian
policy of crushing the peaceful Baloch national resistance movement in Iran.
Baloch are facing the cruelest state oppression in the
contemporary history. Cultural, social, historical, economic and political
marginalization by the religious fanatical state of Iran is the hallmark of the
subjugation of the Baloch. The state controlled by a fanatical group of
Ayatollahs has been reacting to the genuine Baloch demands for cultural,
economic and political emancipation with the use of crude military prowess.
Kidnappings, torture, solitary confinement and extra judicial killings of the
Baloch by the state intelligence agencies are the usual ways adopted and have
been graphically reported by various international human rights organizations
affiliated with the United Nations.
Your Excellency,
The irony is that the UN and international community
are watching silently the violation of human rights and annihilation of an
entire people by the Iranian state. The silence of the UN and international
community cannot be justified in the name of the principle of state sovereignty.
Your Excellency,
The situation in Iranian held Balochistan is alarming.
We believe that we are justified in asking for the immediate intervention of the
UN in order to pressurize the fanatical state for an immediate end to genocide and
barbaric acts being committed on the Baloch.
We believed that this act of medieval mind-set should
not go with impunity in a world of 21st century. The Baloch Human Rights Council
(UK) therefore requests your immediate intervention. We request that this
petition be taken as an urgent humanitarian appeal. Your immediate intervention
could save not only countless innocent lives but could also prevent the present
situation from developing into a total genocide of the defense less Baloch
people. We will be grateful if the UN could establish an international
commission to investigate the heinous crimes against humanity being committed
by the Iranians in Balochistan.
Yours sincerely
Samad Baloch
General Secretary
Baloch Human Rights Council (UK)
