40 youth in Ahwaz arrested; call for their immediate release

Youth in Ahwaz demand the release of three dozen people arrested by the Security Forces
On Wednesday, April 8, regime’s suppressive forces barbarically raided Hamidiya, Molashia and Kouya Enghelab in Ahwaz arresting around 40 of the youth in these townships and districts. Moreover, a poet of the Arab compatriots by the name of Ahmad Haj Sobhan was also arrested on this day in Kut Abdollah of Ahwaz and was taken to an undisclosed location. This savage crackdown was carried out in fear of expansion of popular protests in the deprived province of Khuzestan.
Last month, the people and the valiant youth of Ahwaz, in protest to the shocking self-immolation of Youness Assakera, a petty seller in Khorramshahr, turned his funeral ceremony as well as the soccer matches in Ahwaz into a scene of protest and expression of loath for the religious fascism ruling Iran.
The anti-human clerical regime, engulfed in political and economic crises, has found no solution to rein in the increasing protests but to ramp up the suppression.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Human Rights Council, as well as other agencies that advocate human rights, to take immediate measures to secure the release of the arrestees.
