Balochistan: Protesters clash with Iranian forces in Zahedan, 30 participants arrested

ZAHEDAN: The Iranian forces have shot dead a Baloch youth in Zahedan – the capital city of Iranian occupied Balochistan – on Saturday, May 25.

According to detail, the victim Mosa Shahbakhsh son of Ghulam Nabi, was on his way to home when plain-clothed Iranian forces signalled him to stop his car at Khiaban-e-Kishwarzi.

The victim did not have a driving licence and also could not stop immediately due to which the officials opened fire at him and killed him on the spot.

Sources reported that the victim was a resident of Zahidan and his home was close to the place of his murder. ‘The Iranian forces shot him dead because he did not have a driving license,’ an eye witness reported.

After the incident people of the area took to streets and strongly protested against the broad daylight murder. The angry protesters also pelted stones at the vehicles of Iranian forces and burned tyres to block the street.

The Iranian force restored to areal firing to disperse the crowd.

Meanwhile, the family of the Mosa Shahbakhsh have been threatened by the IRGC to quickly bury the victim’s dead body and stopped other residents from participating in funeral processions.

On the other hand, on Monday protesters gathered outside the governor’s office in Zahedan city to demand the arrest the killers of Mosa Shahbakh.

According to eyewitness over a hundred people took part in the peaceful demonstration but the Iranian agent of IRGC have attacked the gathering and arrested at least 30 participants.

The arrested youth were loaded in two vehicles and shifted to an unknown location.

The identity of the arrested youth could not be confirmed immediately.

It should be noted that last week, the ‘foreign imposed’ governor of Balochistan Ahmad Ali Mohebati announced the intensification of strictly dealing with fuel traders.

The Iranian forces have intensified unlawful killing in Balochistan after the announcement of the governor.
