 Balochistan: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards accelerated killing Baloch youth

Fazlullah Dorazahi

DOZZAAP (Zahedan): The IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps) have killed and injured more than 50 Baloch youth, this year alone, involved in fuel trading at GoldSmid Line in Balochistan.

The Baloch youth have no better job opportunities and other sources of income hence they turn to fuel businesses to support the families.

The Baloch Activists Campaign reported on Thursday, August 20, 2020, that a fuel trader named Fazlullah Dorazahi son of Khoda Bakhsh resident of Haqabad village near Bampusht in the city of Saravan was killed at Shamsar zero point.

Sources reported that Fazlullah had gone to Shamsar near the border [GoldSmid Line] for fuel trading when he was shot dead.

His dead body was found near where the assailants shot him dead and fled leaving his corpse behind.

 The killing took place in an area where the Iranian  Revolutionary Guards organs have been regularly involved in such shootings.

The relatives of the deceased have said that they consider the IRGC responsible for the killing of Mr Dorazahi

In another similar incident, Iranian border forces shot dead a 19-year-old Baloch youth in the Jalk region of Saravan in Iranian Occupied Balochistan.

Fuel trader (Sokhtbar) Shakir Reki (Regi) son of Bab Khan was shot dead at the ‘Muk Sokht’ area of Jalk in the city of Saravan.

Sources reported that Shakir had taken up fuel trading to provide his family’s needs. He was arrested a Muk Sokht by Iranian border forces and severely beaten up.  

An anonymous source informed the Baloch Activists Campaign that brutal torture of the Iranian officials led to the death of innocent Baloch youth.

His blood-soaked picture of Reki with his hands and feet tied has been posted on social media.

An Iranian official in uniform can also be seen in the picture holding Shakir Reki by his hair.

The Muk Sokht border checkpoint is supervised by the Saravan regiment led by Colonel Nawabazadeh.

The Colonel is reportedly notorious for harassing, terrorising and ordering the shoot to kill of the Baloch fuel traders at the GoldSmid Line.  

In recent months the Iranian security forces have increased their brutalities against Baloch people, especially the young fuel traders, who take risks to support their families.

Since the beginning of this year, about 50 fuel traders have been killed and wounded by Iranian military and security agencies in different parts of Balochistan.
