Branch 28 of Tehran’s Revolutionary Court has sentenced four Baluchi citizens to death: Eidou Shabakhsh, Abdul Ghani Shabakhsh, Abdul Rahim Qanbarzahi and Suleiman Shabakhsh.

The four men were convicted of “rebellion and formation of groups opposed to the Iranian regime”. The context of Israeli aggression is pushing the weakened regime towards repression. Since the ceasefire, at least 115 people have been arrested in Kermanshah province alone for “disturbing security”. Further arrests have been reported by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and police in Hamedan, Hormozgan, Fars (53 detainees), Gilan (36) and Zarand (11 arrested for anti-regime activities). The IRGC and its paramilitary Basij forces set up checkpoints at the entrances and exits of Kurdish towns, searching vehicles and arresting several people. A large deployment of plainclothes security forces, dispatched from other provinces, was observed in the streets of Kurdish towns. These forces arrested individuals they deemed suspicious without presenting a judicial warrant. The IRGC intelligence organization and the Ministry of Intelligence have also summoned and interrogated family members of Kurdish political activists living abroad, threatening and pressuring them to cease their activism abroad.
