Is it ever the citizen’s moral duty to disobey the law of his state?




It is possible where a law comes into conflict with established custom, a stimulus will be given which will jerk many people up to the higher level of morality. Disobedience to any law is justified.
It is moral duty of the citizens to disobedience the state laws where occurrence of prejudice is well established and where many rights are not recognised and not secured by the laws, there is no consciousness of common interests and some bonds of sympathy uniting the citizen. The failure to recognise the right involves inconsistency on the part of government and it is not likely to secure the future of the state.
There are circumstances in which disobedience is moral duty.  In regard to national slavery when the people conscience has come to recognise a capacity for right, for exercising certain powers under control of a reference to general well-being of community to whom legal rights have until now been denied by some powerful groups in its own interest resisted the changes of the laws.

We believe Baluchistan is an occupied land and have right to secede from Iran if that is wish of the Baluch people, powerful groups are; all centralist parties from communist, monarchist, shiite Mullahs, ex-army army officers, businessmen, retired ministers, parliamentarians presidents and their families, they are in agreement with each other’s to preserve the Persian dominated Iran and deny the rest the rights to secede. Obviously the Persian has Shiite religion to supress the Arab and Turk Nationalist, in Kurdistan Persian have 20 percent Shiite kurd and others to supress the Kurd, in Baluchistan the Persian using Zabuli and some tribal element and educated elite to sustain power and supress nationalist in Baluchistan.I am just generalising.
For myself I am independent thinker lobby for independent Baluchistan and associated with the pro-independent Baluch leaders.
