Shabtabnews – On the anniversary of Bloody Massacre and Tragedy in Zahedan IOPHR issued a statement. In the statement IOPHR stated “One year has elapsed since Zahedan’s Bloody Friday. On the 30th of September last year, a horrifying act of violence occurred in Zahedan, Iran, an incident that continues to haunt every advocate of freedom. Unarmed Iranian worshipers, returning from Friday prayers, were suddenly and mercilessly attacked by security forces. These defenceless individuals were peacefully protesting against the sexual assault of a 15-year-old Baloch girl by a police station commander the previous month. Their demand was clear and wholly justified: the police commander responsible for such a grievous act must be held accountable for his actions.”
The statement further stated : “This pre-planned massacre by the regime who are supporting the perpetrators, is in fact the continuation of the religious and ethnic discrimination policy of the ruling Shia clerics in Iran, which has been carried out against Sunni citizens throughout Iran for more than four decades.
“A year has passed since this dark day, and yet, those responsible remain unnamed and unpunished. Unpunished crime creates new disaster and justice remains elusive. The depth of this tragedy echoes the gravest of crimes in history, bearing the hallmarks of both genocide and crimes against humanity.
“The world must not remain silent. It is our fervent hope that such a tragedy is never repeated, and the only way to ensure this is through unwavering commitment to justice and accountability.
“In memory of the innocent lives lost in Zahedan, we call for unity, justice, and international cooperation. Let their sacrifice be a beacon that guides us towards a world where rights are respected, and justice prevails.”
