Balochistan: Four persons killed in Shastun

ZAHEDAN: At least four people were killed by Iranian security forces on Monday in Shastun (Saravan) city in Iranian occupied Balochistan (IOB).

According to details, three men from Shahbakhsh Baloch tribe were killed when Iranian forces opened indiscriminate firing at them. The victims have been named as Mohammad Shahbakhsh son of Abdul Rehman, Mohammad Ali Shahbakhsh son of Attaullah and Rehman Shahbakhsh son of Moosa.

The Iranian state media quoting Iran’s Sepah e Pasdaran claimed that the deceased were involved in drug smuggling and were killed in a gun battle.

Local sources, however, informed Balochwarna News that the killed men were unarmed when Iranian forces fired upon them. Our sources also reported that such incidents have become common occurrences in Iranian Occupied Balochistan (IOB) where the forces accuse people of crimes that they have not committed.

Such accusation, our sources, said by Iran’s security forces are an excuse to hide their crimes against Baloch people.

It is pertinent to mention that on Friday in a similar incident Jasim Bamarri and two other Iranian security officials were killed.
