On the execution of Kurdish and Baluchi youth in Iran
18
November 2013. A World to Win News Service. The following statement was
issued by the Communist Party of Iran (Marxist Leninist Maoist). Since
then the Islamic Republic of Iran has continued this wave of executions
in Kurdistan and other regions of Iran. (cpimlm.com)
Habibullah Golparipour, a young Kurdish activist who has been in an Islamic Republic prison for three years, was executed on 23
October 2013 in Orumieh, north-west Iran, and lost his dear life.
Accused of anti-regime activities and connections with anti-regime
groups, he had been in prison since October 2009, following the uprising
that erupted after the presidential election. He endured the difficult
conditions that the regime's mercenaries have created for prisoners,
including intense tortures, and spent long periods in isolation. But he
did not give in to the regime's brutalities.
At
the same time, it has been reported that 16 Baluchi political prisoners
were executed on 26 October in reprisal for the killing of 18 regime
mercenaries in Saravan (a city in Sistan-Baluchistan Province, Iran,
bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan) the day before. This is not the
first such crime of the regime and will not be the last. Iran is the
prison of nations. National oppression is a major pillar of this regime
and we will witness such crimes as long as the exploiting classes are in
power. There is a long list of youth in Kurdistan, Baluchistan and
Khuzestan provinces waiting to be executed, and at the slightest sign of
unrest
in these regions, some will be hanged.
Following
the Saravan incident, Hassan Rouhani, Iran's new president, the
so-called champion of "heroic flexibility", assigned the Interior
ministry to form a special commission in cooperation with security
forces to confront "rebels". Furthermore, the prosecutor-general of
Zahedan (the capital of Sistan-Baluchistan province) justified the
executions by saying "We warned that we would retaliate!" [BBC reports
no evidence that any of the executed had any connection with the death
of the border guards.]
As
the Islamic regime continues to display ""heroic flexibility" with the
West, it is also stepping up its oppression and crimes, including the
executions of youth, and the poverty of the people is becoming even more
intensified. This is the regime's internal reaction to the crisis in
the Middle East. There is no doubt that these criminal acts are
indications of the bankruptcy and failure of a totally rotten regime
that is hoping to extend its disgusting life a little longer.
The
struggle of the oppressed nations against national oppression will once
again demonstrate that the Islamic regime will reap what it has sown.
The
regime's viciousness and brutal plans should not and will not go
unanswered. We call on workers, students, women and youth to convert the
memorial ceremonies for Habibullah Golparipour and other martyrs into
exposures of the crimes of the regime. This struggle must be turned into
an effervescent political scene. It is with a real revolution
independent of imperialists and reactionaries that we can give these
crimes the response they deserve. The Islamic regime's vicious plans
more than ever carry the signs of its fragility. They carry the signs of
earth-shaking events and bloody battles that are on
the way, battles that should put revolutionary violence on the agenda
to settle accounts with the Islamic reactionaries and overthrow their
state system with the goal of a society without oppression and
exploitation.
Down
with the Islamic Republic of Iran!
Long live the right of
self-determination for oppressed nations!
Long live revolution! Long
live communism!
