the city of Ahwaz witnessed a wide-scale arrest raid by the Iranian authorities in Al_thawra neighborhood, as part of an ongoing repressive raid aimed at silencing voices and curbing the basic freedoms of Ahwazi citizens who have had enough of the brutal treatment by the repressive apparatus associated with the regime during random arrests, which are related to issues far from public affairs, usually occur in a chaotic manner, and involve shooting among the people.
Reliable information and live testimonies indicate that Iranian security forces have stormed the homes of many citizens in Al_thawra neighborhood, arresting dozens of them without any clear charges or legal arrest warrants. These arrests come as part of the Iranian authorities' ongoing attempts to tighten the noose around the political and social activity in the region. The Iranian regime continues its repressive policies towards Arabs in Ahwaz by preventing any form of expression of cultural and linguistic identity or demands for economic and social rights. These inhumane and arbitrary practices have not prevented the Arab people from continuing their determination efforts and relentless activities to achieve freedom, dignity, and justice.
