In the last hours of Tuesday, November 10, a young 17-year-old worker
by the name of Ali Jalali lost his life when he was hit by direct gunshot of
Iranian regime’s suppressive forces. This crime happened during a raid by the
suppressive forces on a bazaar in Anoushe Street in Lashgarabad District of
Ahwaz. Mr. Ali Jalali was baking bread at the bakery he worked in when he fell
victim to the gunfire of regime’s hirelings that were brazenly targeting
people. A number of other locals were also injured in this raid. The people of
Lashgarabad attacked Police Station No. 30 of Ahwaz and clashed with the
suppressive forces to show their ire and to protest against this crime and
regime’s repressive policies.
Lashgarabad is one of the old districts of Ahwaz where Arab
compatriots live. The spread of unemployment and poverty among the youth in
this district has compelled them to open local restaurants and tea houses to
earn a meager income to feed themselves and their deprived families. The people
in this district, much like the people in other places in Khuzestan Province,
are struggling with poverty while this oil rich province is among
the richest
in Iran.
The Iranian regime officials that fear any gathering of the youth were
against opening of this local bazaar from the outset and last night brutally
attacked the bazaar in an attempt to destroy it.
The religious fascism ruling Iran, with the noose of domestic and
international crises tightening around its neck and unable to solve the most
basic needs of the people, has found no recourse but to ratchet up suppression
to confront growing protests and loath of the Iranian people, especially in
deprived areas such as Khuzestan Province. These oppressive measures more than
ever betray the myth of “moderation” of the Iranian regime and its deceptive
president Rouhani.
The Iranian Resistance
expresses its sympathy with the family of Mr. Ali Jalali and calls on the
Iranian people, especially the youth in Khuzestan, to support and unite with
the protests of people of Ahwaz
