The Al-Ahwazi human right organization condemns the prison term sentences for three fellow Ahwazi citizens
The Islamic revolutionary court of Tester, Iran on Wednesday February 27th, 2013 has issued the prison term sentences for three Alahwazi Arabs.
The reliable reports confirmed that the court in an unjustifiable trial and without the proper documents or justified reasons has issued the prison term sentences for the three Alahwazi Arabs of the Shaeibieh village subsidiary of Tester with the charges of being a threat to the Iranian national security.
The three Alahwazi citizens were arrested and prisoned following the clashes with the government security and some of the government supporters of the Lor ethnics in an effort to prevent the forcible demographic structure change of Alahwaz by the government of Iran.
The three Alahwaz citizens are as follows:
1- Mr.Abdolmotalab Soleimani, 25 years of age and sentenced to a 15 years prison term. He also spent a three years prison terms in 2008 for the similar accusation.
2- Mr.Adnan Soleimani, 43 years of age and sentenced to a 20 years prison term. He was arrested on June 30th, 2012.
3- Mr.Ayoub Soleimani the son of Mr.Rahim was sentenced to a 5 years prison term. He had not reached the mature age at the time of arrest.
The Islamic Government of Iran for many years in an effort to change the demographic structure of Alahwaz has falsely introduced many economic projects plans such as the sugar plantation development and aquatic projects to force the relocation of Arab ethnics from their villages and also it has confiscated their agricultural land in an area of about 900,000 hectares for the handover to the Lor ethnic government supporters.
The scientific researches has proven that the fertile land of Alahwaz, the rightful property of the Arab ethnics are most favorable for the growth of rice ,wheat, and the variety of vegetable and dates . The lands are not appropriate for the growth of sugar plantations due to the weather conditions of the region and in result it has transformed the lands into a swampland. The projects have no economic or environmental justification and the damage to such valuable lands are by far more than its benefits and some of the Islamic Parliament members have described it as just a political plan.
