Ladies and gentleman;
Today we have gathered here to protest and oppose the injustices of the barbaric regime of Iran against the prosecution and killing of our people who are rising and demanding their humanistic and national democratic rights.
By being a Baloch, and saying “our people” I do not mean just our Baloch people, I mean the people of Iran which include Arabs, Baloch, Persians, Kurds, Turks ,Turkmen etc.., who live in Iran a multinational country.

There is an old saying: If even poverty fairly distributed it is justice”.
While every body is suffering from not having their basic human rights observed, which as a result millions of Iranians have chosen to flee Iran and live in exile, Unfortunately our Arabs, Baloch, Kurds, Azeri Turks and Turkmen are facing additional suffering, just for not having the same language, culture and even the same religion of what the ruling elite of Pan-Farsisms have. So far for nearly a century, all types of the ruling elites of Pan-Farsisms, crowned and turbaned, have consistently, constitutionally and institutionally tried to eliminate other nations and forcibly assimilate all cultural and linguistic diversity in Iran into ONE Nation’s culture, language and religion i.e. Persianisation.

Since then, the oppressed nations have continued their resistance to defend their national Identities in different ways and there have never ever been a peaceful stability and volunteer unity in Iran. And never ever not only local even regional stability and peace will be without having fairly solved this chronic and historical national injustice in Iran.

The international relations and in general the fast developing Information Communication Technologies such as the advent of the internet and the emergence of satellite TV and radio, are playing a vital role in today’s irreversible process of self-awakening to the growing sense of national identity which the daily hanging and shooting to kill of several young Baloch under various accusations by the regime’s famous injustice courts and armed forces in Balochistan, the sentencing to death penalty of tens of Ahwazi Arabs political prisoners, the barbaric killings of Showan Qaaders in Kurdistan and killing and sentencing to jail of many Azeri Turks nationalists and political activists are the crystal clear evidence of rising a tough determination of the oppressed nations in Iran for establishing a new era in Iran which is the establishment of the right of self determination for the nations under oppression in Iran.

In our view having a stable democracy in the region is not feasible without solving this social and political issue through a democratic process in Iran. Notably, the shadow and the heat wave of the barbaric regime’s atrocities with regard to the human rights violation has stretched itself from its borders and has become not only the regional but a global threat to the peace and stability.

With the unity of the oppressed nations to have our strong audible voice, together with the progressive Persians, we can achieve our national sovereignty rights and bring fundamental humanistic and democratic changes in Iran.
Once more, we salute to all of those who sacrificed their lives for our democratic rights in Iran, and strongly condemn the death penalty in all types such as hanging or stoning, by the Islamic courts of justice in Iran. We strongly urge the unconditional release of all political prisoners with emphasizes on the recent days Ahwazi Arabs political prisoners with death penalty charges.

I finish with a poem from our Baloch national poet; late Ataashaad who says:

Tao pa saraani god’d’agaa zenday hayaalaanaa kohay?
Pa sendagaa daasht-a kanay pollaan cha bou taalaaniaa?

By chopping the heads do you intend to destroy the thoughts of life?
By cutting the flowers can you stop their spreading aroma?

Rahim Bandoui, 2e spokesperson for the Balochistan People's Party.
