Farmers’ Protest in South Kerman Province

اعتراض کشاورزان جنوب استان کرمان با شعار «تونل ویرانگر، باید تخریب شود!»

Farmers from the southern region of Kerman province protested against the construction of the Halilrud water transfer tunnel by the Revolutionary Guards’ Khatam-al Anbiya Construction Headquarters, preventing workers from entering the tunnel.

Due to the farmers’ protest, the project was officially on halt until today. But this morning, when farmers and environmental activists witnessed that the work has been resumed, they set up tents again and continued their protest rally.

As the tunnel will divert all water resources into IRGC’s project and consequently destroy the farmers’ lands and crops, the protesters are demanding the project’s suspension.

Huaman-rights-day

December 10 of each year is designated as World Human Rights Day, according to the United Nations. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in Paris on the same day in 1948.

Until the end of World War II, humanity had not generally exercised these universal rights. The tragic effects of World War II and the attack on freedom, brotherhood, and equality by Hitler’s fascism necessitated the codification and universal ratification of these rights.
