Balochistan Human Rights Activists Association (BHRAA):

The life of recent detainees in Zahedan in serious danger.

According to reports from the activists in BHRAA, the Islamic Republic of Iran still continues arresting people and spreads terror, horror and fear in Zahedan, even several days after Zahedan ‘’Imam Ali’’ mosque bomb attack. Some of local reports[1] suggest that more than 100 persons have been arrested.

The most recent report obtained by our reporters in Zahedan suggests that the security police forces arrested more than 25 baloch in Zahedan on Sunday 31 of may 2009 and transferred them to yet an unknown place. These detainees include people a) who were admitted to the ‘’Khatm-ul-ania’’ hospital in Zahedan because they had been beaten by the pro-regime ultra-conservative groups, b) the relatives to the wounded while were visiting them.

Furthermore, the reports suggest that the relatives dare not address any investigation on what happened to their family members, since they fear for their own destiny.

Ali Mohammad Azad, the Sistan and Balochistan county mayor confirmed the mass-arrests, annonced via Isna News Agency [2] and said that certain ‘’wahabi and salafi’’ groups in this county who play with the feeling of ‘’shiites’’ have been identified or are about to be identfied. Azad announced furthermore that they will be put to the trail after the presidential election.

Bahram Nouroozi ( the deputy general to Rasul-e-akram military center) confirmed the mentioned news in Isna news agency [3] as well and suggested that the persons who were arrested serve as spies for the forign states, and they will be put to trail soon.

Finally, as annonced in the pro-regime news agencies, the regime executed 3 baloch who already had been sentenced, while their executaion was linked to the recent mosque [4] bomb attack.

The official annoncements made by Ali Mohammad Azad and Bahram Nouroozi, taken into account, we in BHRAA have reason to believe that the mentioned detainees are in serious danger, and we fear for their destiny. Therefore we would like to draw all international human rights watch groups’ and the international society’s attention to our concern and urge you to call the regime for unconditional stop for further violation of human rights in Balochistan.
