Subject:Amputation
of hands and legs of 5 men in
Zahedan – Balochistan
Take the necessary action on
condomning the barbaric act committed by Iranian Islamic regime
The Islamic regime in Iran amputed recently the hands and legs of five
balochis. The amputations were carried out in Zahedan – Balochistan. The
barbaric regime justified this unhuman act by categorizing the five
individuals, A. Rigi, A.B. Rigi, A.R. Roudini, D. Pahlavan and M.A. Jalali,
as beeing persons in ‘’waging war on God’’ and with ‘’corruption on earth’’.
The current trick is not a new trend as it is already well-known that
Iranian authorities routinely execute dissidents from Balochistan on bogus
charges such as armed robbery and drug smuggling. I the past,
Iran’s
judiciary has executed political oppenents of the Islamic Republic on the
charge of beeing ‘’waging war on God’’.
Iran has witnessed escalating unrest the recent years in Balochistan, where
the discriminatory and repressive policies by the theocratic regime are
imposed.
We
would like to express our very strong concern for the current barbaric crime
committed by Islamic regime of Iran. Therefore we would like to call
international attention, particularly the Amnesty International, to our
concern.
Thanking you in
advance
Yours sincerely
