At the same time as the Islamic
Republic of Iran sends millions of dollars to extremist Arab organizations in Lebanon,
Palestine and Iraq the Arab population of Ahwaz in Iran suffers extreme poverty
and discrimination.
 
The Islamic Republic of Iran
portrays its self as the champion of Arab rights in all of the above-mentioned
countries, but the Arab population of Iran faces discrimination and violence in
all spheres of life. Every year hundreds of Arab-rights activists are
imprisoned, tortured, raped and executed in Iran just because they raise their
voices about the gross living conditions of Arabs in Iran.
The province of Khuzestan, which has
an Arab majority, produces the majority of Iran’s oil, but none of the benefits
of the oil reach the people living in the region. The Islamic Republic of Iran
drains Khuzestan of its riches and systematically oppresses the Arab
population, only to send its oil profits to Arab-extremists in other parts of
the region.
This kind of policy is expected from
the regime in Tehran, but what strikes Arabs in Iran as strange is that no Arab
country or organization raises their plight or objects to Iran’s treatment of
their kinsmen.
