According to the Balochistan Human Rights Group, on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, despite 26 years of persistent efforts by a Baloch citizen to obtain an ID card, the Islamic Republic of Iran\u2019s security institutions and the Iranshahr County Security Council have rejected his request. This is despite the fact that all required documents were provided, and his siblings possess ID cards. However, despite all legal efforts and documentation, this Baloch citizen has been deprived of his basic rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The individual is identified as “Habibollah Barahouei Zebdeh,” son of Abdullah and Maryam, a resident of Iranshahr County. Since 1999, he has been pursuing an ID card, submitting documents such as a testimony form, his siblings\u2019 ID cards, his father\u2019s photo, inheritance certification, age determination by forensic medicine, an official affidavit, fingerprints, and other evidence to establish his legal identity. Nevertheless, institutions such as the Intelligence Office, the IRGC Intelligence, and the Iranshahr County Security Council have rejected his request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to BHRG sources, Habibollah lost his mother in childhood, and his father, after starting a new family, did not take steps to secure an ID card for him and passed away shortly after. Due to this deprivation, not only has Habibollah been denied basic rights such as healthcare, education, and employment, but his children have also grown up without ID cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This citizen even took his case to the Iranshahr Judiciary, where his case was processed in the First Branch of the General (Civil) Court. However, due to poorly drafted and grossly erroneous rulings, neither the court nor the Dispute Resolution Council took effective action to resolve his issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth noting that the Security Council and other security institutions in Balochistan counties, whose members are often non-Baloch and non-native, have become the biggest obstacles to issuing ID cards for thousands of Baloch citizens who, due to historical or structural reasons, remain deprived of identity documents. The neglect and systemic discrimination by these institutions have plunged the lives and futures of generations of the Baloch nation into crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
