سوء قصد به مدیر مسئول هفته نامه صحرا



سوء قصد به مدیر مسئول هفته نامه صحرا

در روز یکشنبه سیزدهم خرداد دو مهاجم ناشناس قصد جان آقای دیه جی ، مدیر مسئول صحرا، را کردند. باوجود سنگین بودن ضربات وارده با آلات خطرناک بر پیکر آقای دیه جی، خوشبختانه خطرجانی برطرف شد.
هفته نامه صحرا تنها نشریه ترکمنی است که علیرغم وجود مشکلات عدیده سیاسی و مالی بیش از ده سال است که بی وقفه منتشر میشود. در طول سالهای گذشته افراد و گروه های وابسته به نهادهای دولتی به شیوه های مختلف کوشیدند تا موانع لازم در مسیر صحرا ایجاد نموده و بدینطریق تنها "روزنامه" مستمر ترکمنی را برای همیشه متوقف کنند.
هدف دشمنان قلم مضمون مقالات مندرجه در صحرا نیست ؛ زیرا که صحرا هفته نامه ای کاملا متعادل و متعارف و عاری از زبان تند و گزنده است که رژیم اسلامی را صراحتآ به باد انتقاد بگیرد و اساس آنرا زیر علامت سئوال ببرد . هدف دشمنان آزادی خاموش کردن تنها صدای مظلوم ملت کوچکی است که هنوز در بطن جامعه دادخواهانه فریاد میزند. این ملت که در سرزمین آبا ـ اجدادی خود چون بیگانگان زندگی میکند و از همه امکانات سیاسی ، اقتصادی ، اجتماعی ، فرهنگی و... محروم است، هر روز بیشتر به گوشه جامعه رانده و بر عقب ماندگی همه جانبه آن نیز افزوده میشود. سردمداران جمهوری اسلامی که حتی انتشار یک هفته نامه معتدل ترکمنی را نیز نمیتوانند تحمل کنند، قطعآ عزم راسخ دارند که ملت ترکمن را به فقر فرهنگی دچار کرده و روشنفکران فعال آنرا بلحاظ فیزیکی نابود کنند.

ما ضمن ابراز انزجار خود از این عمل جنایتکارانه، از همه آزادیخواهان تقاضا داریم که با استفاده از وسایل و امکانات مناسب اعتراضات خود را بگوش افکار عمومی و رسانه های گروهی و سازمانهای بین المللی برسانند.

Serious and Deadly Human Rights Abuses in Iranian Balochistan

Appeal to UN

Mr Johan Verbeke
President of UN Security Council
New York, USA 1st June 2007


Re: Serious and Deadly Human Rights Abuses in Iranian Balochistan

Dear Mr Johan Verbeke,

We the undersigned Iranian Baloch organisations would like to express our deepest dismay and concern over the silence and ineptness exhibited by International bodies and human rights organisations in the face of Iranian regime’s recent murderous acts of arbitrary killings, summary executions and hanging of Baloch youths in Iran. Baloch people overwhelming majority of whom live in Balochistan have not only been deprived of their basic rights, but also have been subject to blatant repression, systematic discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity and religion.

The Iranian security forces shot dead a 12-year old girl called Roya Sarani in cold blood in front of her brother opposite their house in Zahedan on Sunday 24th May 2007. They also executed a 17-year old boy called Saeed Qanbarzaei in Zahedan on Wed 28th May 2007 after subjecting him to constant barbarous tortures since his arrest despite an appeal by Amnesty International. The Iranian judiciary executed further five Baloch on the following day. During the last week, the Iranian authorities in Chabahar demolished more than 100 houses that belonged to poor Baloch families in Chabahar.

Recently Dr Shahriyari, a well known racist and anti-Baloch who is currently selected member of Iranian Parliament from Zahedan, and a close ally of the President and the Judiciary announced that around 700 Baloch have been arrested and await execution. In recent weeks many of those detainees have been executed either by firing squad or by hanging in public or Clandestinely. Mindful of local anger and backlash, many of those detainees have been transferred to neighbouring provinces for the purpose of execution. Fifteen of them were executed in Khorasan province, while two were hanged in Hormozgan and one in Kerman province respectively.

As the world is occupied by the Iranian nuclear threat and its support for terrorism, the Iranian regime in Balochistan is involved in a brutal and ruthless arrest and executions of mostly educated Baloch youth under the disguise of fighting drug smuggling and so-called banditry. It is common knowledge in Balochistan that the Iranian intelligence and security forces facilitate the passage of narcotic consignments from Afghanistan through Balochistan and the rest of Iran to the western world as it was admitted by the interior minister last month.

We urge you not to remain unconcerned and indifferent while Iranian regime commits deadly human rights abuses in Balochistan. Please voice your concern and condemn the inhumane actions of the Iranian regime in Balochistan.

Dear Mr Dyke

We the undersigned Iranian Baloch organisations collectively would like to express our deepest dismay and concern over the silence and ineptness exhibited by International bodies and some human rights organisations in the face of Iranian regime’s recent murderous acts of arbitrary killings, summary executions and hanging of Baloch youths in Iran. Baloch people in Balochistan have not only been deprived of their basic rights, but also have been subject to blatant repression, systematic discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity and religion by the Iranian regime.

They also executed a 17-year old boy called Saeed Qanbarzaei in Zahedan on Wed 28th May 2007 after subjecting him to constant barbarous tortures since his arrest despite your urgent appeal to the Iranian authorities. The Iranian judiciary executed further five Baloch on the following day. During the last week, the Iranian authorities in Chabahar demolished more than 100 houses that belonged to poor Baloch families in Chabahar.

Mindful of local anger and backlash, many of those detainees have been transferred to neighbouring provinces for the purpose of execution. Fifteen of them were executed in Khorasan province, while two were hanged in Hormozgan and one in Kerman province respectively.

1653 Baloch have been arrested during the Unity 1 Manoeuvre in Balochistan and Baloch dominated areas of Kerman, the official Iranian news agency, IRNA reported on 23 May 07. The agency quoted the director of Public Relations of Operational Base of Rasool Akram as saying that 156 polluted locations were cleansed and 6 armed men were killed.

As the world is occupied by the Iranian nuclear threat and its support for terrorism, the Iranian regime in Balochistan is involved in a brutal and ruthless arrest and executions of mostly educated Baloch youth under the disguise of fighting drug smuggling and so-called banditry. It is common knowledge in Balochistan that the Iranian intelligence and security forces facilitate the passage of narcotic consignments from Afghanistan through Balochistan and the rest of Iran to the western world as it was admitted openly in an interview by the interior minister last month.

We urge you to express your concern and become proactively involved in the protection of human rights of people in Balochistan as the Iranian regime perpetually commits deadly human rights abuses in Balochistan. Please condemn the inhumane executions of Baloch children and innocent people, and other ongoing atrocious actions of the Iranian regime in Balochistan.
