Iran: Horrible Living Conditions of Nomad Children

NCRI - On Wednesday November 9th 2016 state-run ILNA News Agency reported that the tents of Balochi and Sistani people living in outskirts of the cities of this South-Eastern province (Sistan & Baluchestan) were destroyed and removed by government agents.

According to ILNA, there are only 30 tents available in this region and about twenty children are under 18 years old. The children do not have any Identity card and they are also deprived of education. Nevertheless, it has been a while since one of these tents has become a school by the number of activists. This school was set on fire by the agents of the Mullahs' regime on 8th November 2016.

One of these activists says: “it seems that these children do not have any rights. They are inflicted with hunger, addiction, and nomadism. Almost once a year, they confiscate the poor and old shelters and they call the nomads as the illegal inhabitants that must leave."

The activist also refers to the miserable situation of these children under the rule of the Mullahs' regime and stated that: “the children like the adults are also searching for the garbage. The addiction is also prevailing among them. No matter if they do not have an identity card or a place to live; after all they are children. The Mullahs' regime has accepted the convention on the rights of children."

He also referred to the lack of living facilities among those who live in the outskirt part of the city. There is no hygiene, safe drinking water or restroom. Most of them do not have birth certificates and identity cards. They live in the tents that the agents sometimes under the pretext of destroying the unauthorized settlement remove the tents and make the nomads homeless in the cold winter and this incident repeatedly occurs. Almost each one year and a half they take the shelters from them and they call them as the unauthorized people.

He also added:" these 20 children do not have anywhere to go. They are abandoned in this cold winter. Only two tents are left that each is allocated to the men and women. Please don’t set these two tents on fire. They have told them to find a place by tomorrow otherwise, we will come tomorrow and set the two remaining tents on fire.

The indigence and misery of the Iranian people increases while the agents of the Mullahs' regime loot and plunder the properties of these people and their scandal is always released by the same newspapers and media that are affiliated with the regime.

On the other hand, the investment and money of the Iranian people are spent on exporting terrorism as well as the warmongering in the region. The nature of warmongering is on the stake of questionings within the regime which represents that the regime is collapsed and stuck in the swamp of Syria."
