\nA police station and three state vehicles are set on fire<\/p>\n
On Sunday, May 10, people of Mohammadabad and Karimabad villages, near Iranshahr in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, who were enraged by the death of two Baluchis, attacked the police station in Mohammadabad with wooden clubs and stones setting it ablaze. The protests in the region continued into late hours of Sunday night and protesters destroyed three vehicles belonging to the security forces and the municipality. Moreover, the Iranshahr-Bampour road was closed down by protestors.<\/p>\n
Protests followed an act by the suppressive security forces in Mohammadabad police station who fired directly at a pickup truck causing it to crash. The crash caused the vehicle that was transporting diesel fuel to catch fire and the two Baluchi passengers of the vehicles tragically burned in the fire. Shots were fired at the vehicle on the pretext that it was smuggling fuel.<\/p>\n
Aliasghar Mirshekari, Deputy Governor of Sistan and Baluchestan, stated: \u201cAfter this incident, a number of people from Mohammadan Town, 4 km away from Iranshahr\u2026 closed down the Iranshahr-Bampour road at the provocation of some youth. These people who numbered less than 500 were instigated by saboteurs to set two vehicles belonging to the municipality and one to the security forces on fire.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clerical regime\u2019s officials target poor and defenseless villagers with barrage of bullets or burn them alive in fire on pretext that they are transporting a few liters of kerosene or oil tins while Khamenei and revolutionary guards are conducting and controlling the smuggling business. Small aspects of the astronomical figures of their plundering is disclosed daily during the power struggle between regime\u2019s internal factions.<\/p>\n
As acknowledged by the head of the \u201cHeadquarters to combat smuggling of goods\u201d Habibollah Haqiqi, the extent of smuggling of goods in the mullahs\u2019 regime is twice the country\u2019s development budget. Calling smuggling the \u201cthreat\u201d and the \u201cAchilles Heel\u201d of clerical regime\u2019s economy, he noted: \u201cThe smuggling business in 2013 was worth $20 billion or 60,000 billion tomans if each dollar is calculated at 3000 tomans, but the total budget for country\u2019s development is around 30,000 billion tomans.\u201d (Fars News Agency, affiliated with the revolutionary guards \u2013 January 11, 2015)<\/p>\n
