The Baluch appeal to the world
and the Arab governments in General Umayya centre for research and strategic
studies and Turkish SDE in particular for help to expose the Shiite Persian dominated
Iranian human rights violation in the western occupied Baluchistan (Iran).

Arab Gulf council and Arab league to recognise the western Baluchistan as
an occupied land.
Istanbul 17-18 October 2015
By invitation of Umayya center of research and strategic studies, with cooperation of institution of strategic thinking (SDE) – Turkey, the third forum entitled: Human and minority rights in Iran, was held in 17-18 October 2015 in Istanbul- republic of turkey, in presence of 60 researchers from different nationalities and ethnicities, and after 2 days of holding sessions and debates and presenting papers, the participants issued the following statement:
After series of discussions and debates about the religious, social, politic and economic reality of the religious and ethnic minorities in Iran, from different sides a clear image was uncovered about the worrying reality of non-Persian ethnicities, especially Arabs, Baluch, Kurds and Azeris. it was found according to the intersecting data from the Iranian interior, that the policy of oppression and against non Persian ethnicities was mostly apparent in certain areas especially the Arabian ahvaz,to the degree of manipulation of demography in this areas, and replacing ethnicities by others, for political goals and arming the groups emerging in to those areas and protecting them to confront the Arabs. The sectarian discrimination, arrests, torture, and mass punishment, Are policies that are widely practiced in Iran.
Accordingly , researchers realized the importance of preparing more studies, meetings and symposiums, to highlight the reality of suffering of the oppressed components, and uncover the practices of the Iranian regime against them, and they have realized, in order to deepen this knowledge, the necessity of communication between researchers thinkers and defenders of the oppressed components, to unmask the reality of the suffering.
The forum agreed on the need to prepare documented materials about human rights violations in Iran, and the importance of presenting these documents to the international forums and human rights institutions. The media should expose these violations to inform the world about the human rights reality inside Iran. For this track to succeed, it should be addressed by institutions formed and managed by people from the oppressed components in Iran.
The researchers believe that the communities, organizations, and governments of Arab and Islamic countries, in addition to western countries should take a stand towards the violations against these minorities, and support their struggle to obtain rights. Researchers also called for forming an advisory council (a parliament representing these minorities) to be a credible voice approved by the international organizations. The council should include an information documentation center.
Additionally, the researchers discussed samples of Iranian curriculum, portraying a negative image of non Persian ethnicities, especially Arabs. The researchers emphasized the dangers of this way of education, that cause problem in dealing with other ethnicities inside and outside Iran, they also emphasized the importance of spreading awareness regarding the impact of this curriculum on the future of international peace.
Finally, the researchers stressed the importance of issuing an annual report about violations against the human rights and minorities in Iran, the report should be issued by several research bodies according to legal and objective standards, so that nothing that happens in Iran remains forgotten due to lack of information, international interest, especially after the nuclear deal with Islamic republic of Iran. The end.

Entitled humans rights and minorities in Iran
The Baluch
The estimated present population of Baluch
inside Iran is about 4 to 5 million. There is not any accurate data available. The
Baluch is one amongst the few state-less nations in the contemporary world,
majority of the Baluch are dwelled in Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. A large
number of Baluch live in Diaspora mainly in the Gulf States and small
population in the European countries.
Iran is governed by the Shiite ideology and an extremely centralised Persian dominated political system. The Baluch are kept backward and they are lagging behind from the other regions in education, economy, health, life expectancy and jobs.
There is no hope insight for the
Baluch. This situation will not change for better in future. The Baluch
deprivations are the product of the Persian centralised control, religion,
cultural and linguistic discrimination against the non-Persian, non-Shiite Baluch.
The Baluch are disadvantaged and disabled in the competition for wealth, position and power compared with the Persian and the Shiite settlers in Baluchistan (Sistan and Baluchistan province), South Khorasan, Kerman and Hormozgan.
The Baluch are disadvantaged and disabled in the competition for wealth, position and power compared with the Persian and the Shiite settlers in Baluchistan (Sistan and Baluchistan province), South Khorasan, Kerman and Hormozgan.
The Baluch and Baluch historical home land
inside Iran have been divided and annexed to the above provinces in order to
turn the Baluch majority artificially into minority in their own
homeland.
The Baluch in Iranian occupied
Baluchistan (western Baluchistan) have been subjected to repeated
Persian-Shiite policies of Persianzation, including the suppression of language
rights, the state has renamed towns and villages in order to wipe out the
evidence of the Baluch history and carried out settlement policies in order to
swamp the Baluchistan with Persian and Shiite settlers.
The majority
of States are the source of security for its population however Iran's stance
against its Baluch population is one on threat.
Western
Baluchistan was invaded in 1928 by the Iranians who have since then openly used
their coercive forces to subjugate the Baluch nation and identity.
Baluch dignity,
property, society and way of life is not safe in Iran. Assassinations, summary
justice and the hanging people in groups in public is overseen by Shiite
judges. Social stigma, collective humiliation by arrogant Persian elites have
driven the Baluch to desperation.
Natural,
physical boundaries have in the past divided the Baluch from Persia and had
protected the Baluch independent culture until 1928. From time to time when
contacts occur they can involve dispute, threat and sometimes invasion and
conquest. The state of Iran was not formed in heaven. It has been the process
of Persian Shiite conquest to impose its will on the Baluch and others.
In States
where civilised values exist some basic social values are expected to be
upheld, Security, Freedom, Order, Justice, education and health. These
fundamental values are important to society's well-being and so they should be
protected.
The Baluch
culture, language, and religion is under the threat from the Iranian
Authorities. The Baloch are not included in the security responsibilities of
the State. The Iranian regime is aggressive and hostile to its neighbours. The
Iranian ideology and institutions pose a threat to the region.
Civilised States
uphold freedom of their citizens vigorously. The Iranian State burdens the
Baluch with military service, imposes taxation with only limited service to
their obligations. The Baloch instead receive from the State, humiliation,
heavy restrictions on the practice of their religion, no cultural right, and no
rights to equality.
There is no freedom to cultivate and preserve their language
and culture. The Baluch are not adherents to Shia Islam and therefore in the
eyes of Authorities cannot be trusted to hold executive posts.
The State of Iran has never felt obliged to uphold the rights
of equality to each of its various Ethnic National groups but rather
establishes and maintains its coexistence and interaction on basis of a
unilateral dominance.
States are expected to uphold rule of law and maintain order
based on humanitarian justice. Justice in Iran is not universally applied,
rather it is based on Shiite law interpreted locally, varying from one Shiite mullah
to another.
The system of government in Iran is of a revolutionary nature
that includes one segment and rejects another segment as it sees fit and is
more than prepared to isolate one segment in order to demonise and subjugate or
eliminate.
The Baluch are accused as anti-revolutionary and of being
British, American, Saudis and other Gulf States collaborators, by this attitude
they are therefore excluded from the Persian national wealth. The Baluch are of
the opinion that The State of Iran has failed to provide minimal standards for
the Baluch.
Iran is a recognised territorial State. Iran is not "One
Nation, One State" as Persians profess. The consequences of the State's
failure to meet minimum standards, based on discrimination against Baluch and
other non-Persian that should raise serious concern among intergovernmental and
international organisations.
The State System is an institution. Iran is the consequence
of the Persian Shiite conquest with the help from European colonisers. State
System is a social organization, constituted from many cultural groups. Iran Shiite
majority is a threat to the Sunni minorities inside Iran and Middle East.
Iran is a complex society, with multi-ethnic territorial
regions constituted of Turkish, Arab, Baluch, Kurd, Turkoman, and other
religious minorities. All these nationalities within Iranian territory are
sovereign by virtue of will and have rights to self-determination that is
guaranteed by The United nations.
Iranian ethno national groups have maintained their cultural
and internal boundaries within Iran's borders. For the peace and prosperity to
prevail, these ethno national groups must maintain their sovereignty, and
govern through legitimise means, institutions, and social contract.
People join States or in some cases, separate themselves from
a State in order to protect their dignity. When the State of Iran violates
Baluch dignity they have the inalienable rights to defend themselves from the powerful
state that insists on discriminating against them on the basis of their religion,
language, culture, and colour and is occupying their land, denying them their
God given rights to live.
Iranian institutions are eroded and not capable, of
generating any hope for the future. The Iranian mind set is corrupted. The
Centralised theological regime of Iran is the source of instability in the
region right now and eventually the world. The ability to contain it now,
although difficult is much preferred and easier than to leave it for later.
Some of us at least within Iran realised that.
The only ray of hope for Iran and the region is to support a
national self-determination in order to create stability and predictability in
the region.
The Baluch have a vision for a safer democratic region believing
democratic states resolve their differences through negotiation, rather than violence
and war. Democratic regions trade with each other and reduce border
restrictions. The Baluch are suffering from border restrictions imposed on them
which will not create an interstate-dependency between masses and reduced
tension. Genuine States see this interstate dependence as a source of income,
creating real wealth, and support for a liberal society.
The contemporary state of Iran has been a war like state. It
is the international community’s role to search for permanent peace. The state
of Iran senses that it is losing legitimacy eventually control on parts of its
territory to its own non Persian peoples. Persian and Shiite are insistent on
hold them by use of force, the threat of which may be real or may not be real
but consequences are real in term of loss of life and property.
It is time for the International Community to convey in the
strongest terms that Iran is not Persia but a Territorial State, with many
nationalities, all with equal rights to those of the Persian, otherwise, failing
to do so, the world will, before too long be witnessing yet another genocide
inside Iran and a war in the Middle East.
Recommendation;
There is a just Baluch
national liberation movement in the Iranian occupied Baluchistan for the Baluch
National liberation from Shiite Persia that deserved to be supported by the
world and Arab.
The Baluch appeal to the world
and the Arab governments in General, Umayya centre for research and strategic
studies and Turkish SDE in particular for help to expose the Shiite Persian dominated
Iranian human rights violation in the western occupied Baluchistan (Iran).
The Baluch appeal to the
Arab Gulf council and Arab league to recognise the western Baluchistan as
an occupied land.
