Daily Killing of Porters and Fuel Traders in Iran
While the explosion in the Tabas mine and the tragic death of more than 50 hard-working miners have plunged Iran into anger and sorrow, the daily killings of Kurdish porters and Baluch fuel carriers reveal yet another facet of the oppression and crimes of the corrupt clerical regime.
