The Zahedan massacre was one of many genocides Iranian forces have committed in Baluchistan,

One year has passed since the protest started under the umbrella of Makki Mosque and Molavi Abdolhamid 's leadership.

We are well aware of the fact that Tehran imposed this war on Makki Mosque and dragged Molavi Abdolhamid into the current conflict. Until now, Molavi has taken his responsibilities very seriously and stood with the victims. 

The Baluch Political parties and activists have supported protesters and religious leadership, which have demanded justice for last year's massacres in Zahedan and Khash. We support regime change in Iran unconditionally. We stand with Makki Mosque and Molavi Abdolhamid as long as Molavi express people's general demands, which he has been doing.

Molavi may represent enlightenment in Iran. The Baluch nation is a progressive nation, and Molavi represents the best of it. 

One should not expect Molavi to deliver federalism for Iran or independence for Baluchistan. It is the political parties' responsibility to fulfil their manifesto commitment.

The struggle for an independent Baluchistan from Iran is as old as the Iranian occupation of Baluchistan. The movement against the Persian occupation of Baluchistan did not start with the Zahedan massacre last year. The Zahedan massacre was one of many slow genocides Iranian forces have committed in Baluchistan, and this will not be the last.

recommendation;

1- We support regime change in Iran unconditionally;

2- We support the Iranian and Baluch people's protest unconditionally;

3- considering the situation, the movement for independent Baluchistan should make its presence felt on the ground without creating a fracture in current Friday's protest.
