Honourable members of Parliament, ladies and gentlemen
As the spokesperson of the Balochistan People’s Party(BPP) which is
a liberal democratic party, fighting for the right of national
sovereignty of Baloch people, I sincerely thank you and value the
opportunity of being here to speak about the pain and abuse that our
people are suffering in the hands of the theocratic and fanatic
regime of Iran.
Our heartfelt thanks to the British people and their Conservative
Party’s Human Rights commission, for facilitating such a valuable
hearing, here in the British Parliament.
Prior to discussing Baluchistan’s current political situation I have
to go very briefly into its geopolitical importance and a short
history:
Balochistan, the historical land of Baloch inhabitants, is located
on the northern coast of the Hormoz Straight where 40% of the
world’s oil is shipped through the straight from the Persian Gulf’s
surrounding countries. Balochistan is the centre of the political
and military activities of the region. The provinces of Nimrouz,
Farrah, and Helmand are the centre of confrontation among Taleban /
Alqaedah and NATO/ Afghanistan army forces.
Balochistan has large reservoirs of oil, gas, gold, copper, Sulphur,
uranium and many other natural resources unearthed according to
Iran, Pakistan and international researches and investigations.
Central Asian countries can only have access to international
waterways through Balochistan. Pakistan and Iran are competing to
connect Central Asian countries to the sea through Balochistan while
China is already concluding a deep sea port at Gwadar in East
Balochistan (Pakistan).
Both Iran and Pakistan are heavily dependent on the coastal borders
of Balochistan Sea which extend from Strait of Hormoz to Karachi.
Iran is considering constructing a gas pipeline through Balochistan
to export gas to Pakistan and India and perhaps through Pakistan to
China. Pakistan's main ports are in Balochistan. Iran is trying to
develop the port of Chabahar in Balochistan to shorten the rout and
safeguard the delivery of diverse import and export products. Iran
and Pakistan also planning to build highways and rail ways to
promote trade in Afghanistan and Central Asian countries through
Balochistan as well.
Balochistan is the historical land of Baloch people. The tough
nature of the motherland Balochistan, has adapted tough and
determined inhabitants to its geographical conditions. They have
survived fatal adverse conditions for thousands of years, be it
Alexander the Great or Mongolian Genghis khan or natural disasters
including famines.
In the 18th century, the Khanate of Kalat included nearly the entire
settling area of the Baloch and declared its sovereignty in 1747.
It was the British Empire who divided the settling area of the
Baloch in the course of the formation of British India in the 19th
century.
In 1871, The British Empire agreed with Persian on the so-called
Goldsmith line, and established the border to Afghanistan with the
Mortimer-Durand line in 1893. However, administration of Balochistan
was not done by the British themselves, because it was thought that
the peripheral areas of the empire were best pacified by granting
the Baloch far-reaching autonomy.
In 1948, after the British Empire withdraws from the region, the
Eastern Balochistan Under the leadership of the Khanate of Kalat
became occupied by Pakistan Army.
In 1928 Western Part of Balochistan which had its own sovereignty
under the Khanate of Doust Mohammad Khan, was forcibly annexed by
Reza Shah Pahlavi and executed the Khan. Balochistan is a member of
the UNPO: http://www.unpo.org/member_profile.php?id=66
Since then the policies of the Iranian regimes in Balochistan are
characterised by persistence violation of human rights. Under the
previous monarchist and the current Islamic regimes of Iran, the
Baloch people have always been deprived of their cultural, social,
economic, and other fundamental human rights and being treated as
the third class citizens of Iran. The first class citizens being
Persians Shias , 2nd class are the none Persian Shias and the 3rd
class are those who are not Persians and not shias.
The main policy of the ruling elite of Persian shias have been based
on forceful assimilation of none Persians to have one language, one
culture and one religion i.e. to implement the policy of
Persianisation.
- Bloch children are barred from receiving education in their mother
language, and do not receive proper education facilities, hence not
equipped with the competent knowledge to enter in the Iranian
Universities.
According to the Iranian government’s criteria based on primary
school education, 27% of the Iranian population are illiterate.
While according to UNESCO’s criteria it should have been based on
children’s ability to fluently read and write in their mother
tongue. Baloch children are not only denied this right but
deliberately deprived of having even equal opportunity in Persian
education, hence falling behind academically and not being competent
in the fields of higher education and job market. Those who succeed
after passing many hurdles are excluded in other processes where
religion affiliations are tested.
There has not been one minister, deputy minister, general,
ambassador and even high ranking official in Iran from the Baloch
community in modern history. While our immigrant Baloch in our
neighbouring Arabian countries such as Oman and Qatar are serving as
ministers and ambassadors. The life expectancy in Balochistan is
fifteen years less than the average in Iran. From 700 academic staff
of different universities in Balochistan, only ten of them are
Baloch. From 70,000 students in Balochistan, only 1,000 of them are
Baloch. Three students under the Shah and two students under the
present regime were given scholarship for studying abroad while
hundreds of thousands of students from other Iranian provinces have
been granted scholarship to study abroad.
- Successive Iranian governments have been engaged in demographic
manipulations to systematically reduce the Baloch people population
to a minority in their own homeland.
- In addition, among the many repressive policies is the destruction
of the homes of poor Baloch people and their displacement. This is
done in order to provide the best located land to the non-Baloch,
specifically to the Security Forces, which are brought in from other
parts of Iran to carry out the regime’s chauvinistic policies.
The Government’s policy has been based on easy access of non-Bloch
people to purchase best agricultural, business and residential land
at a cheap price and set up governmental sourced and facilitated
businesses.
Alongside with the social and cultural, the economical
discrimination has associated with Balochistan’s geographical
location to be the neighbour of the world’s largest narcotic
producer, hence causing the highest rate of unemployment and
addiction in Iran to be amongst the young generation of Baloch
people. This is a gradual and slow motion national genocide and
ethnic cleansing for the Baloch nation planned by the Tehran Regimes
since the annexation of Balochistan.
http://www.balochpeople.org/eng/2006/pressRel/MiniDublinGroup.htm
It is common knowledge in Balochistan that the Iranian intelligence
and security forces facilitate the passage of narcotic consignments
from Afghanistan through Balochistan and the rest of Iran to the
western world as it was admitted openly in an interview by the
interior minister two months ago.
While the international community, international media and opinions
are occupied by the Iranian nuclear threat and its support for
terrorism, the Iranian regime in Balochistan is involved in a brutal
and ruthless arrest and executions of mostly educated Baloch youth
under the disguise of fighting drug smuggling and so-called
banditry.
Every day, all across Balochistan, young Baloch get executed by the
decree of Hojjatol Islam Mohammad Ibrahim Nekoonaam the Islamic
revolutionary judge for Balochistan, as well as being kidnapped and
killed by the Special secret force of spiritual leader Ayatollah
Khamenehei named “Mersad” or get killed in “planned” accidents
leaving every day some Baloch families mourning for the loss of
their beloved ones.
There is a long list of executed young Baloch since their uprising
for their democratic rights of equal opportunities. But here are
some examples of killing innocent young Baloch just during the last
4 months:
Amnesty International published an appeal in April 07 in which it
announced 700 Baloch people have been condemned to death just in one
year. http://www.balochpeople.org/eng/2007/hr/HR.htm#2
Mindful of local anger and backlash, many of those detainees have
been transferred to neighbouring provinces for the purpose of
execution. Fifteen of them were executed in Khorasan province, while
two were hanged in Hormozgan and one in Kerman province
respectively.
As a result of people’s resistance towards ethnic cleansing
activities of the regime, the Iranian news agency, IRNA, reported on
20th May that 1653 Baloch have been arrested only in one month
Mr Nasrollah Shanbeh zahi a young man who was taking photo by his
mobile phone from a scene of a bus explosion in Zahidan which has
been carrying regime’s revolutionary guards, tortured and executed
two days after his arrest in 19th February 2007
http://www.balochpeople.org/eng/2007/feb/ExecutionPhotosShambezai.htm
http://www.balochpeople.org/eng/2007/pressRel/ExecutionOfShanbehzai.htm
They also executed a 17-year old boy called Saeed Qanbarzaei in
Zahedan on Wed 28th May 2007 after subjecting him to constant
barbarous tortures since his arrest despite amnesty international’s
appeal to the Iranian authorities. The Iranian judiciary executed
further five Baloch on the following day in Zahedan’s prison’s
executions yard.
http://www.balochpeople.org/eng/2007/pressRel/SavingBalochTeenerFromExecution.htm
In cold blood the Iranian security forces shot dead a 12-year old
girl called Roya Sarani in front of her brother opposite their house
in Zahedan on Sunday 24th May 2007.
http://www.radiobalochi.org/BH_Rights/Letter_to_AI_from_RBF070527.html
13th June 2007 the dead body of a 23 years old young man Waheed
Mirbalochzahi, who was arrested at the same time as Saeed
Qanbarzahi, was found in an abundant area in Zahedan which has been
tortured to death.
This regime can not tolerate any organised activity amongst the
oppressed nationalities, even under its own civil rules and
regulations.
There is only one Youth association in the whole Balochistan, based
in the capital city of Zahedan, which is tightly controlled by the
regime. Couple of months ago after a peaceful gathering of local
authorities and people organised by the association, suddenly, all
of its management committee members were arrested and detained which
still many of their parents and relatives are not aware of their
whereabouts.
Balochistan People’s Party appeals to the international community to
do not allow the Iranian regime to use its current nuclear crisis
with the international community to suppress Baloch and other
oppressed nations by accusing them of being Western powers
corporate. We request the international community to send a fact
finding mission to see the damage that have been caused by the
latest military operation, persecution, arrests and executions in
Balochistan.
Our Party strongly believes that we the people of Iran historically
have suffered and still suffering from not having the opportunity to
exercise our humanitarian and basic democratic rights.
For the achievement of our rights, change of the theocratic regime
of Iran towards establishing a democratic system is the first and
inevitable step.
At the same time we believe that the right of self determination for
the suffered and oppressed ethnics in Iran would be the core of
implementing democracy in Iran. With out solving this principal and
historical crisis of national sovereignty, there ever never would be
a practical and lasting democratic and peaceful system in Iran.
Balochistan People’s Party believes that the only way to save the
people of Iran, Middle East, Central Asia and of course the world
from the respectively oppression, interference in internal affairs,
terrorist activities of this regime, is to change it before it
acquires nuclear weapons.
We should act together before it is too late, and before this
fanatic regime arms itself with nuclear and other weapons of mass
destruction. Under nuclear protection this regime will spread and
support international terrorism and extremism more actively and will
continue to suppress harsher its own people.
The opposition amongst the oppressed nationalities because of their
experience of the former monarchist regime and the current
theocratic regime, during the last few years, have closely worked
together and by being united have developed a secular, democratic
and federal structure that could put Iran to a democratic path after
the regime change.
Unlike past years, now, there is a united opposition against the
Iranian government. The Congress of Nationalities for a Federal Iran
http://www.iranfederal.org/
that is consisting of almost all national and regional political
parties and cultural organizations which struggling to establish a
federal, secular and a democratic government, based on parity of the
constituent parts in Iran, can serve as a catalyst and organizing
factor for a united opposition to change the terrorist and extremist
government of Iran.
