\"Iran-Officials-Murder-Baluch-Fuel-Porters-and-Protesters-in-Saravan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Protests erupted in the city of Saravan, southeast Iran, when the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC<\/a>) opened fire on a group of deprived Baluchi fuel porters, killing and wounding dozens. People in different parts of Sistan and Baluchistan staged protests and strikes, in some cities attacking IRGC bases. These protests indicate the Iranian society\u2019s restiveness.<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime has been killing deprived fuel porters in Sistan and Baluchistan, under the pretext of fighting smuggling. Yet, the IRGC controls Iran\u2019s smuggling network.<\/p>\n

In Saravan, locals staged protests and local business owners went on strike on Tuesday. Despite the heavy presence of IRGC forces, people stormed the governorate. IRGC forces opened fire on the crowd, killing dozens of them, yet locals continued their protests. In return, the defiant youth set a few police vehicles on fire and blocked roads by burning tires.<\/p>\n

Simultaneous with the protests in Saravan, locals of the Keshtegan village, at the zero point of the border, known as the “Bam Posht” section clashed with the regime’s forces in front of the IRGC base.<\/p>\n
