Al ahwaz

The Ahwazis Arab people reside along the border with Iraq near the Straight of Hormuz. The Ahwazis despite occupying an area that contains about 90% of Iran’s oil reserves, they have consistently been ignored and live in some of the gravest economic conditions in Iran. Not only are economic opportunities limited, but the Ahwazis have also endured more suffering and misery after the diversion of their freshwater sources to central Iran, leaving their region in severe drought. A recent spike in Ahwazi Arabs on death row has caused Ahwazi diaspora groups to plead for action. Their trials in the revolutionary courts have been quick and unfair and constituted charges of murder, terrorism, and enmity toward God.
