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
