The incident occurred near the Fruit and Vegetable Market Square in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on these reports, law enforcement forces opened direct fire on the fuel carrier\u2019s vehicle without issuing any prior warning or taking preventive measures. The gunfire caused the vehicle to catch fire, and due to the intensity of the blaze, the driver was unable to exit the vehicle and died at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of the time of this report, the identity of the fuel carrier remains unknown. No official, transparent explanation has been provided by the relevant authorities regarding the reasons for the use of live ammunition in this incident. The use of lethal force in circumstances where no immediate threat to life has been reported raises serious concerns about violations of human rights, including the right to life and the principle of proportionality in the use of force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is noteworthy that, according to data collected by human rights organizations, from the beginning of 2024 until the end of the year, at least 479 fuel carriers were killed or injured as a result of various incidents, including shootings by military and law enforcement forces, road accidents, attacks by unidentified armed individuals, landmine explosions, fires, and drowning. Among them, 253 individuals lost their lives and 226 others were injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BHRG once again emphasize the urgent need to end the use of live ammunition against unarmed civilians, to conduct independent, transparent, and impartial investigations into such incidents, and to ensure accountability for those responsible for human rights violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bhrg.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-26.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4565\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to reports received from BHRG sources, on the evening of Friday, December 26, 2025, a fuel carrier was killed after being shot by law enforcement forces in Minab County, Hormozgan Province.
