Friday, September 30, 2022, is a day etched as a bitter day in the history of Balochistan, leaving an indelible mark of shame on the Islamic Republic of Iran and its leaders. This tragic event deserves international recognition as a heinous crime against humanity.
On this fateful day, thousands of Baloch citizens gathered after Friday prayers, seeking to peacefully protest the egregious violation committed by the central commander of the law enforcement forces in Chabahar County against a fifteen-year-old Baloch girl. However, the security and military forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, strategically positioned on the rooftops of tall buildings and military centers, mercilessly opened fire on hundreds of Balochis.
The repercussions of the Bloody Friday of Balochistan were devastating, with a heartbreaking toll of at least 103 Baloch citizens, including innocent children, women, and men of various ages, losing their lives. Among the martyrs, the sorrowful count includes at least 17 children and four women, while hundreds of survivors bear physical and emotional scars, many enduring permanent disabilities.
This grievous incident stands as a stark violation of fundamental human rights and unfolded on that ill-fated Friday, September 30, 2022. The memory of this tragedy serves as a solemn reminder of the importance of justice and accountability
