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)
