The authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran , through arbitrary arrests are attempting to exploit the armed attack on the parade of the armed forces in Ahwaz which took place on September 22 of this year and justify the suppression of Arab citizens in Iran . This widespread wave of arrests occurs despite the fact that ISIS claimed the responsibility for the attack. 

By carrying systematic arrest and spreading intimidation among Arab society, Iranian security forces are attempting at distorting the truth about the growing dissatisfaction of the Arab people against the discriminatory politics of the central government.

Ahwaz Human Rights Organization (AHRO) condemns these arrests and calls for an immediate and unconditional release of detainees.Moreover, it warns against potential physical and mental torture to obtain compulsory confessions from detainees.

A number of well-known Islamic Republic Mollahs stated a Fatwa (Islamic law) allowing organ donation of death sentenced Ahwazi Arab prisoners. They have also allowed trafficking of death sentenced prisoners. The Fatwa has been published in many Iranian websites. Senior clerics who issued the Fatwa are: Ayatollah Shabiri Zanjani, Seyed Saeed Hakim, Makarem Shirazi, Mousa Ardebili, Nouri Hamedani and Ayatollah Saneyi.

Iran's Revolutionary Court in Tehran, on Saturday, sentenced seven laborers and activists 110 years imprisonment and 74 lashes for organizing and covering protests and strikes by workers at the Haft Tapeh sugar cane company, north of city of Ahwaz. 

The following are the names of the convicts and the details of the verdicts given by Judge Meqaisa, President of Section 4 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran:

  1. Ismael Bakhshi, laborer and trade unionist of the Sugar Cane Company, 14 years imprisonment
  2. Speida Golian, labor rights activist, 19 years and six months in prison
  3. Amir Hossein Mohammadi Fard, editor-in-chief of "Gam" magazine and labor rights defender, 18 years in prison
  4. Asal Mohammadi, member of the editorial board of the magazine "Gam" and an advocate for the rights of workers, 18 years imprisonment
  5. Sanaz Al-Hayari, editorial board member of the magazine "Gam " and an advocate for workers' rights, 18 years imprisonment
  6. Amir Amergoli, member of the editorial board of the magazine "Gam" and a defender of workers' rights, 18 years imprisonment
  7. Mohammed Khneifer, worker and trade union activist at Sugar Cane Company, 6 years imprisonment

 The verdicts were given based on vague and flimsy charges such as “assembly and collusion with the intention of acting against national security,” “insulting the Supreme Leader,” “spreading lies,” “propaganda against the regime” and "disturbing public order.” Workers have been going on strikes and peaceful protests over the past year for not receiving their salaries for several months, poor working conditions, dismissal of workers and other trade union demands.

Ahwaz Human Rights Organisation (AHRO) strongly condemns these repressive provisions and calls for the abolition of these sham trials and the immediate and unconditional release of all detained workers and activists.

38 Ahwazi Arab activists who were voluntarily helping flood victims have been arrested for allegedly distributing “false information” regarding the floods. Meanwhile, various documents, videos and photos have emerged that show that the IRGC, the Ministry of Oil and the Iranian government are not willing to direct the floods to the Hur Azim area due to potential damage to oil facilities. 

So far, 270 villages in Khuzestan Province have completely drowned and have been evacuated. Floods have reached 11 cities. The number of injured and displaced people has reached half a million overall.

Ahwaz Human Rights Organisation (AHRO) condemns the arrest of activists and demands for their immediate and unconditional release. AHRO also calls on international human rights organisations to condemn these repressive measures by the authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
