‪AHRO calls for an investigation into the assassination of Ahwazi-Arab activist Mr. Ahmad Niesi , in The Hague, Netherlands‬

The Ahwaz Human Rights Organization (AHRO) strongly condemns the assassination of Ahwazi-Arab activist, Mr. Ahmad Mola Neisi, an Iranian dissident in front of his home in The Hague, Netherlands, Wednesday evening, November 8, 2017, by unidentified gunmen as reported by Dutch media.

The circumstances of the assassination are still unclear, since no statement has been issued by the police or the Dutch authorities so far. Therefore, AHRO calls for an urgent investigation into the circumstances of the case and the release of the names and the identifies of  perpetrators of the assassination of activist Ahmad Neisi, the leader of the Hraketa-e-Elnidal Alrabi Litahrir Alahwaz, and an Iranian exiled dissident group in Europe.

Is the Iranian regime behind this heinous and the cold-blooded assignation, or is it complacent in it anyway? Dutch authorities are obligated to address this issue promptly.

AHRO, in its belief in the rejection of all forms of violence, reiterates its condemnation of all assassinations and inflicting of physical harms, and demands that the Dutch government promptly investigate the circumstances of the assassination of Mr. Ahmad Neisi. It also calls for providing the necessary security and protection for all Ahwaz-Arab refugees on Dutch soil. The Iranian regime indeed has a black record of assassinating its opponents abroad and inside Iran

Death sentences and imprisonment for 8 Ahwazi activists

The Iranian Revolutionary Court in Ahwaz sentenced two Ahwazi activists to death. They are Abdullah Abdullahi and Qasim Bait Abdullah from Neighborhood shahour in  of Shush. The court sent also 6 other activists, to the prison ranging from 3 to 30 years in the same case.

According to the verdicts of the court , the prison sentence was given  to:

- Ahmad Abdellahi, 30 years old and a resident of Shosh, 25 years of prison.

- Majed Bait Abdullah, 23 years old, from the Khalaf al-Muslim village, 25 years of prison .

- Hassoun Beit Abdullah bin Abbas from the Derjal village, 31 years old, 25 years of prison.

- Hussein Abdellahi, 24 years old and the brother of the first accused and from Shahour district, three years of prison.

- Issa Abdellahi, 24 years old, and Majid Abdellahi, 24 years old , three years of prison each.

 The activists above had been charged of countering the regime by spreading anti-government propaganda and undermining national security by forming the "Jund al-Faruq" organization. They have been tortured by Iranian security since they were arrested in 2015.

 Human rights activists in Ahwaz believe that there is no real existence of the so-called "Jund al-Faruq" organization, and it is just an imaginary organization invented by the Iranian security services to eliminate Arab civil activists. In the last years, there have been similar examples of this phenomenon, where innocent Ahwazi activists have been arrested after being charged with involvement in organizations created by the iranian Security Service.

The Ahwaz Human Rights Organization expressed its concern about the increase in the number of random executions against Ahwazi activists and called on international organizations to intervene to stop the sentences issued against these activists and to hold a fair public trial in the presence of independent lawyers.
