Another American
Detained in Iran?
May 24, 2007 3:55 PM
Kirit Radia Reports:
abcnews
Yet another American citizen has disappeared in Iran and is feared to be in
detention, according to Human Rights Watch, a nongovernmental organization
based in New York.
Ali Shakeri, an Iranian-American dual citizen, was scheduled to leave Iran
on May 13, but "he disappeared from the radar," Human Rights Watch's Hadi
Ghaemi told ABC News.
Ghaemi has been in touch with Shakeri's associates who say the political
activist and writer from Irvine, Calif., was in Iran to visit his mother who
died while he was there.
According to a statement released by Human Rights Watch, those associates
believe Shakeri is "being detained by Iranian authorities."
"The Iranian government has not provided any public information about his
whereabouts," the statement continued.
If Shakeri is detained, he would be the third Iranian-American to be
detained by Iran in recent weeks in addition to others who have been
prevented from leaving the country.
The U.S. State Department could not confirm that Shakeri was missing or
detained, but deputy spokesman Tom Casey said, "We are concerned by the fact
that there appears to be a pattern here of harassment against private
citizens and against private Iranian-Americans, and that's something that I
guess the Iranians will have to offer an explanation for."
Casey said the U.S. does not plan to raise the subject of the detained
Americans during an historic meeting with Iran planned for next Monday. For
the first time in decades, the United States and Iran will hold high-level
talks in Baghdad between U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker and Iranian
officials.
Casey said that meeting would focus exclusively on issues related to Iraq.
The United States accuses Iran of fomenting sectarian violence in Iraq by
providing munitions and training to armed groups in an effort to destabilize
the country and attack U.S. troops.

fundamentalist Government of Iran.
Dear Sirs / Madames,
The plights of ethnic minorities and specially of Balochs in Iran is going
to be from bad to worst. Balochs are being hanged in different prisons of
Iran on daily basis. Killing and torturing of Baloch ethnic groups have
become a daily routine by Revolutionary Guards of Iran.
Recently, Iranian Police has target killed an innocent girl, name Roya
Sarani daughter of Haj Ghader Sarani, age 12 years and wounded her brother,
in Zahedan, the capital city of Sistan o Balochistan.
On 16th May, 2007, about 17.30, when she was
returning home from school, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, stopped their
car and, due to their crime to belong to the Baloch ethnic Sunni group, had
mercilessly open fired, in which the innocent girl, Roya Sarani was killed
on the spot and her brother was wounded, who is still lying in the hospital.
Sirs / Madames,
in the name of humanity, we appeal your kind
honour to come forward and condemn the cruel killings of the 12 year old
Baloch girl and help to stop the on-going deadly steps of brutal Mullah
regime of Iran of killing the Balochs in Iran.
Thanking you in advance
Yours sincerely

Balochistan Peoples Front
London, 21 May 07. Balochistan Peoples Front-- 1479 Baloch have been
arrested during the Unity 1 Manoeuvre in Baluchistan and Baluch dominated
areas of Kerman, the official Iranian news agency, IRNA reported. The agency
quoted the director of Public Relations of Operational Base of Rasool Akram
as saying that 156 polluted locations were cleansed and 6 armed men were
killed. He added that 174 insurgents and their associates were also
arrested.
At the same time there were other reports that dozens of wounded security
forces were transferred to different hospitals in Zahedan including Bany
Akram hospital. Another report by Marzeporgohar.mihanblog.com confirmed that
a large number of injured security forces are in critical conditions and the
hospital officials have banned the ordinary people from visiting the
hospital.
Some witnesses believe the objective of this manoeuvre was to cleanse ethnic
Baluch from their ancestral lands under different pretexts. The official who
gave the news of the Unity 1 Manoeuvre categorised 1479 Baluch as
aggressors. This is a new term that was attributed to some people to justify
their eviction from their lands under ethnic cleansing policy of the Iranian
government.
Roya Sarani, a 12 year old girl was shot dead by the Iranian security forces
in Zahedan on 16 May 07. Her parents were forced to bury her in a quiet
manner. They were not allowed to hold a public burial for their daughter.
She was gunned down after returning from school to home after sitting her
exams.
The People's Resistance Movement of Iran announced that one of their bases
in Sarawan was attacked by the Iranian security forces at three o'clock in
the morning of 14 May o7. A gun battle was exchanged between the two sides
which resulted in the death of 7 revolutionary guards. The security forces
were forced to retreat after the local people protested against their
presence in the region.
The arrests of 1479 Baluch as aggressors and another 174 as insurgents
indicates the Islamic Republic's resolve for relentlessly pursuing ethnic
cleansing of Baloch people from their ancestral homelands. The Iranian
government announced that 700 Baluch have received their death sentences
from the Iranian Supreme Court. After Amnesty International's appeal for
help for saving the lives of these people, Iranian regime decided to
transfer a large number of the condemned Baluch to different provinces of
Iran including Khorasan and Hormozgan. 20 Baluch have been executed in these
provinces in the last three weeks, according to the Iranian official news
agency, Irna.

‘Anti-Baloch’ wall on Pak-Iran border opposed
Monday, May 28, 2007
http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=8155
QUETTA: The Leader of the Opposition in
Balochistan Assembly, Kachkol Ali, Advocate, on Sunday demanded an immediate
change of Balochistan Governor because of his "anti-Baloch policies" and
strongly opposed the construction of a wall on the Pak-Iran border.
Addressing the media at the MPA Hostel here on Sunday, Kachkol Ali said,
"Governors of Balochistan and Sistan Balochistan are not our well-wishers,"
adding that he had tabled an adjournment motion in the House about the Gold
Smith Line on May 26 in which it was made clear that an unnatural line had
been drawn against the will and desire of the Baloch nation. Now the
construction of a 10-feet high and four-feet wide wall has been started,
which is creating difficulties for the Baloch people.
He said excesses were being committed against the Baloch since 1948 in West
Pakistan. The building of this wall would futher divide the Baloch families.
He said the Germans had built a wall, which was demolished. But neither the
Pakistani nor the Iranian Baloch were taken into confidence over the
construction of the wall along the Gold Smith Line. "We demand that the
construction of the wall should be stopped immediately."
Kachkol Ali said if a war took place between Iran and America, the Baloch
would be the worst sufferers as the soil and the sea in these areas belong
to the Baloch people.
He said that Deputy Speaker Aslam Bhotani had disposed off his adjournment
motion in his one-sided action.
Kachkol said if the assembly did not resolve the problems of the Baloch,
what was the use of such an assembly. He said the ruling of the Speaker
against the adjournment motion was against the people and democratic
interest. He appealed to the international organisations to save the Baloch
people.
He said Baloch were a nation by all means and definitions with a rich
cultural heritage spreading over thousands of years. He said in 1800,
Balochistan was divided due to Gold Smith Line.
To a question, he said his party members in the Senate would also discuss
this issue in the House.
"We pay tributes to Governor Kandahar who has said Baloch from Balochistan
are his guests." He, however, added that if the Governor of Sistan came to
Balochistan again, they would hold protests.

Blasts cut rail links with Iran
May 29 2007
http://www.int.iol.co.za/
Around a dozen blasts rocked Pakistan's
insurgency-hit south-western province of Baluchistan, cutting the lone rail
link with Iran and injuring four people, police said on Tuesday.
An autonomy-seeking tribal group behind nearly three years of attacks on
government and other installations claimed responsibility for the overnight
bombings, nine of which were in the provincial capital Quetta.
Four people were hurt when "miscreants" lobbed a hand grenade at labourers
sleeping on open ground in Quetta, city police chief Wazir Khan Nasir told
AFP, using the official jargon for the rebels.
Three blasts targeted railway tracks, cutting off Quetta's twice-weekly rail
link with the Iranian border town of Zahedan and also suspending train
services to the rest of Pakistan, officials said.
The next Zahedan service was due on Friday.
Other explosions ruptured gas pipelines.
The outlawed Baluchistan Liberation Army said it had carried out the attacks
to coincide with the May 28 anniversary of Pakistan's 1998 underground
nuclear tests, which were conducted in the province's Chaghi mountains.
"May 28 was a black day in the Baluch history when the nuclear tests were
conducted on Baluchi soil," spokesman Beeberg Baloch said in telephone calls
to local newspaper offices.
The ethnic Baluch insurgents want more control and a bigger share of the
profits from sparsely-populated Baluchistan's rich gas and mineral
resources.
President Pervez Musharraf said on May 10 that most rebel camps had been
"smashed" since the army killed rebel chief Nawab Akbar Bugti in August
2006, but reiterated an amnesty offer and pledged more development funds. -

TURKISH NATION IS ALIVE
On the occasion of the rebellion of the Turkish nation of Azerbaijan
30-05-2007
The date of May 22, 2006 is unforgettable in the Iranian history. This day,
the Turkish nation rebelled to react against the insults and other practices
towards themselves in the region of Azerbaijan in Iran, created an epic with
the participation of the millions of people and started the national
awakening.
The Turkish people did not react only to the publication of the absurd
cartoons against the Turks in the Newspaper of Iran subordinate to the
Iranian state. They also gave the reactionary and thoughtless leaders in
power and the chauvinists a strong message indicating that they would not
tolerate any insult.
Today, the intentions of the chauvinists regarding the Turks (Turkmens and
Azaris), Arabs, Baluchis and other nations have been revealed.
With the publication of these cartoons, they seek to insult the Turkish
nation and oppress them. Nevertheless, the proud Turkish nation of
Azerbaijan has found its own identity with the demonstration of millions of
people and its objections. It has been a lesson for the government and its
mercenaries.
The regime of the Islamic Republic has deceived a part of the Turkish nation
for years by using the Shiite sect and tried to remove the national identity
and Turkish language in Azerbaijan. The chauvinist mercenaries living in the
era of 2500 years ago still seek to humiliate the Turkish nation. They
consider the language of the Azerbaijani Turks as a branch of the Persian
language and they use the rudest words for the Turks in their jokes.
Humiliating the Turkish and Turcoman children, they try to make them ashamed
to speak the Turkish.
This regime, which is highly dissatisfied with the Turkish overpopulation,
has used the religion and Shiite as an instrument to make the Turkish people
forget their identity. In this regime, the representative of the Supreme
leader qualifies the development of the Turkmen nation as treachery. This
regime show the Turks as cockroach, the Arabs as undeveloped and eater of
lizard and the Baluchis as nasty and ignoble.
Such a reaction of the Turkish nation and the support provided by the other
nations to this reaction was unexpected for this regime. The demonstration
of the Turkish people that took place with the participation of millions of
persons has frightened them. They shot the people. They killed, injured,
tortured and imprisoned many persons. This regime has proved that the
greatest enemy of the Turkish nation is the regime of Islamic Republic being
reactionary, chauvinist, supporter of the Supreme Leader.
The Turkish nation of Iran -either Azerbaijani Turk, Ghashghay or Turcoman-
celebrates this epic and bloody rebellion of millions of people in its
anniversary and warns the regime about the fact that it won’t be able to
insult this old and heroic people any more; because the outcome of such an
insult against the Turks will be extremely serious; because this nation has
awaked and because it has discovered its own identity and its own path.
