Security forces and police to the religious (Shia sect) government in Iran opened fire on a crowd in the city Rask in Baluchistan on 14 May 2012.

The people were gathered and demonstrated against the arrest and abduction of baluchs and religious scholars. An innocent Baluchs, Jan Mohamnad Dehghani was brutally killed and several protesters were seriously injured in Rask.

The Iranian government has oppressed Baluch population since the occupation of Baluchistan. As a result of repression and the brutal policies in Baluchistan since 1928, has several thousands baluchs have been killed. Current sectarian government, has hundreds of innocent Baluchs in captivity.

Baluch prisoners lose the right to defend themselves or to have defense attorney. In the Islamic (Shia sect) ruled Iran baluchs sentenced to long prison terms or death penalty.

The terrorist state in Iran ignores the International Declaration of Human Rights, and Baluch poeple’s deprived of having a normal and dignified life.

We appeal to United Nation, international agencies and human rights organizations to act against violation of human rights in Baluchistan to rescue defenseless prisoners.
