Its worth to mention that Iranian government has intensively increased building new settlement in Al-Ahwaz (Khuzestan, Bushehr and Hormozgan in Iranian map) region in order to change the Arabic demography of Al-Ahwaz and migrate non-Arab settlers from neighbourhood provinces of Al-Ahwaz that led to increase the clashes and confrontation between Arabs and non-Arab settlers.
Ahwazi Centre for Human Rights strongly condemns the Iranian mass arrest against Ahwazi youth and children and for the release of all Ahwazi Activists without any condition and calls upon international human rights organisation specially who are involved in protecting children rights to step up and condemn Iranian arbitrary arrest against Ahwazis and put pressure on Iran to release all Ahwazi children that are in Iranian prison.
