NCRI – According to the spokesman of the State Security Forces in the oil-rich Khuzestan Province, south-west Iran, from August 23 to September 23, 1,442 people were arrested “in the context of the struggle against drugs and handed over to the judiciary”.<\/p>\n

The local newspaper Asr Karoun which carried the news on October 12 also reported that Colonel Matin-Rad, commander of the State Security Forces of the town of Abadan, a major city in the oil-rich province, had stated that with the implementation of a security plan his forces had been able to neutralize a network of satellite dish smugglers. They discovered 100 receivers, 200 satellite dishes, 120 LNBs and 167 relays. He added that they had also confiscated 250 antennas during police searches in homes.<\/p>\n

Khuzestan Province, which has a large Arab population, was the scene of violent popular uprisings due to serious discriminations against the population by the government. The repression was brutal, and public executions and crackdowns have escalated because the regime considers the Resistance’s satellite television channel, which enjoys a large audience in Iran, to be a major threat. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
