This is happening while on the other side of Ahwaz people of the village of Goran whose lands were taken by the Iranian occupation authorities are appealing to Ahwazi people to save them and support their position and legitimate demands, the first of which is to work on their lands which were taken by the Iranian occupation, which is exploited by the sugar cane partner and to bring thousands of Persian settlers.

On 13th of June 2022, a 37-year-old man from the city of Hamidiya, Abbas bin Ahmed Al-Thamer, was martyred.

Suspicious death of an Abadani doctor due to falling from the fifth floor of the apartment.

Payvand Allameh, a prominent doctor living in Abadan, lost his life after a suspicious fall from the fifth floor of his apartment in the Arvand beach tower.

Payyand’s condition was declared serious after being transferred to Beheshti Hospital in Abadan. He died right after he was transferred to the hospital due to the severity of his injuries.

Some speculations indicate the connection between the suspicious death of this Abadani doctor and the current of the metropolis catastrophe.

We, the Ahwazi Centre for Human Rights (ACHR), concerns, while Ahwazi Arabs faced continued oppression and discrimination, the most significant human rights issues included a high number of executions for false confession and false crimes without fair trials of individuals. Torture; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary detention and imprisonment; of hundreds of political prisoners, are just few examples of how the Iranian regime violates the human rights, but we also should add that the regime’s handling of the Covid situation proves that the regime doesn’t care about Ahwazi lives and that raises a great concern and get international attention.

We are calling upon Mr. Javaid Rehman the United Nations special rapporteur for the situation of human rights in Iran and Mrs Agnes Callamard the UN special rapporteur on extra Judicial execution to intervene and stop the Iranian criminal regime from executing innocent prisoners that were arrested without any legal warrant.
