            Demolition and Confiscation of Baloch Citizens\u2019 Properties in February<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            In February 2025, security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in collaboration with the Housing Foundation and the Natural Resources Administration, carried out the demolition and confiscation of properties belonging to Baloch citizens in various parts of Sistan and Baluchestan province. These actions, executed without providing adequate alternatives or compensation, are aimed at altering the demographic composition and transferring the confiscated lands to non-local individuals and regime affiliates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            According to documented reports, the widespread demolitions included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n

              Simultaneously, the Islamic Republic of Iran has continued the large-scale confiscation of Baloch citizens\u2019 lands. Recently, 10,000 plots of land<\/em> belonging to Baloch people in Zahedan have been seized. These lands have primarily been allocated to government employees and regime affiliates\u2014an action widely regarded as part of policies aimed at altering the demographic structure and marginalizing the indigenous Baloch community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              2. Severe Burns and Lack of Medical Facilities in Zahedan<\/strong><\/em>

              3. Death of a Baloch Prisoner in Iranshahr Prison<\/strong><\/em>
                Hassan Damani, a 33-year-old from Iranshahr, was detained on false charges and remained in legal limbo for months. After falling ill, he was denied medical care and placed in solitary confinement, where he died.
