Iran regime demolishes entire Sunni village

Graphic evidence has emerged of a village bulldozed to the ground by Iran's fundamentalist regime in the Sunni-majority, poverty-stricken province of Sistan and Baluchistan, southeast Iran.

In the early morning hours of Sunday, December 27, the regime's state security forces arrived at the village of Shahidan-e Danesh-Payeh in 50 police vehicles and 10 loaders, according to eye-witnesses, and began to demolish the villagers’ homes.

Shahidan-e Danesh-Payeh is about two kilometers from the impoverished province's largest city and provincial capital Zahedan. The small village, officially listed in the municipality records with the village code 711891, had a municipality sign, and its electricity and water pipes were connected to the larger municipalities' networks.

The suppressive security forces claimed that the homes had been built illegally on the land.

One eye-witness said that of twenty homes in the village only two were left standing, whose owners had said that they would not leave their homes even if they were brought down on their heads. The regime’s agents threatened the two families inside that they had only days to vacate the premises before the demolition would go ahead anyway.

Ali Safavi of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) condemned the atrocities of the mullahs’ regime against Iran’s Sunni minority. “This inhumane act is the latest in a series of repressive measures undertaken by the authorities to further marginalize our Sunni brethren in Iran. Ironically, it is happening under the so-called moderate Hassan Rouhani’s watch and lays bare the sectarian and intolerant nature of the clerical regime as it pertains to Iran’s diverse religious and ethnic minorities,” he added.

Torture by Iran’s fundamentalist regime has led to the death of three Iranians in a prison in Zahedan, southeastern Iran, over three consecutive days this week, according to received reports.

The reports indicated that on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of this week the three prisoners in Wards 5, 6 and 7 of the central prison of Zahedan died due to brutal tortures and denial of medical treatment.

Farzad Naravi, who went by the nickname Shahin and was in his forties, lost his life on Sunday, December 27, three days after he was transferred to Ward 5 of the prison from an interrogation center where he had been brutally tortured. He had serious torture wounds and blood on his back and feet. In prison, he was denied access to medical care.

Mehdi Naravi, 38, died in prison on Monday, December 28. He had spent the past six years behind bars and had been in Ward 7 of Zahedan Prison. For some time, Mehdi Naravi had been ill, but the prison guards deliberately refused to allow his transfer to a hospital.

Gholam Rabbani, 45, who had been imprisoned in Ward 6 of the prison, died on Tuesday, December 29. He too had been ill after spending the past two years in prison, but prison guards had prevented him from receiving proper medical treatment.
