3. Khalidiyah Tarfi
4. Laila Barwaya
5. Izzat Kaabi
6. Nadia Mohammadi Pour (Hamidi).

 

Our sources reported cases of torture against activists and a retired teacher Saeed Fakhr-Nasab. Fakhr was release on bail for amount of 5 billion Iranian rials (equivalent to 80 thousand US dollars) after deterioration of his health eventually he ended up in a hospital receiving treatment in an intensive care room of Baqa’i Military Hospital in Ahwaz.

Saeed Fakhr, a cultural activist in Ahwaz was arrested without an arrest warrant from his house in the neighborhood of Kampolo by the Iranian intelligence services.

 

Sajad Ziab Sawari from Alawi district also were arrested and subjected to severe torture by the intelligence headquarters Abu Fazlel Abbas Revolutionary Guard. On the 5^th of April a number of Sajad’s ribs were broken due to beatings and torture.

 

The Authorities were also released an Ahwazi disabled Saeed Nemati, who was arrested in the demonstrations in Ahwaz who is suffers from Deaf and witnessed the effects of torture on his body after his release.

The Arab MP in the Iranian parliament Jawad Al-Baji, has confirmed in a statement to the newspaper, “Etemaad” “Iranian security authorities arrested 150 demonstrators in the city of Ahwaz alone”.

 

Al-Baji called for the immediate release of all detainees, stressing that the protests were peaceful, civilian, and there was no justification for the arrest campaigns.

 

Since the first days of the protests, the security forces transferred about 250 detainees to Shyban prison and put them in a special section separated from the rest of the prisoners and prevented them from contacting their relatives or legal representation.

 

The Arabs of Ahwaz began their demonstrations on 28 March last and lasted about ten days in protest against the broadcast of a television program from Channel 2 official, which they deny the identity and presence of Ahwaz Arabs in their territory.

 

As a result of the government’s failure to respond to the demands of the protesters to provide an official apology to Ahwazi Arabs, the Ahwazi demonstrations turned into continuous protest marches against all discriminatory policies of the Iranian regime against the Arabs of Ahwaz and demographic change projects for the region in favor of immigrants, poverty, deprivation, unemployment and marginalization of Arabs in order to convert them from majority to minority in their historical land.
