Iran's Security Forces Kill
Center for Human Rights in Iran - Sept 4 2024
<<Iran's Security Forces Kill Growing Numbers of Kurdish and Baluchi
Border Couriers
30 Kurdish and 34 Baluchi Couriers Killed by Guards So Far in 2024,
Including 1 Child
"When border agents see a fuel courier...they just start shooting"
September 4, 2023 - An alarming number of border couriers, primarily
from Iran's Kurdish and Baluchi minorities, have been killed in the
first eight months of 2024, as Islamic Republic agents use unlawful and
lethal force against those who transport goods and fuel across Iranian
borders as their only means of survival, said the Center for Human
Rights in Iran (CHRI). From January to August 2024, at least 30 Kurdish
border couriers, known as kulbars, were killed and 198 others injured by
direct gunfire from Iranian government forces, according to research
undertaken by CHRI. Six of the injured were children. One of them was
17-year-old Arian Mamandi from Sardasht, who was shot in the face by
border guards and lost an eye.
Over the same eight-month period, at least 34 Baluchi fuel couriers,
known as sukhtbars, were killed, and 39 others were injured by direct
gunfire from government forces, CHRI’s research showed. One of those
killed was 14-year-old Omran Baloch Zahi. "The ongoing killings of
border couriers are yet another example of the Islamic Republic's use of
disproportionate and lethal violence against Iran’s oppressed ethnic
communities," said Hadi Ghaemi, CHRI executive director. "The Iranian
government must immediately halt its unlawful use of lethal force
against border couriers and instead focus on developing economic
empowerment initiatives. This relentless violence against vulnerable
populations must end," Ghaemi said.
CHRI calls upon the UN and human rights organizations to demand that the
Iranian authorities immediately cease the use of lethal force against
border couriers, and adhere to the UN’s Basic Principles on the Use of
Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, which explicitly state
that the "intentional lethal use of firearms may only be made when
strictly unavoidable in order to protect life," and the UN’s
International Standards for Law Enforcement, which strictly restrict the
use of force only to situations of absolute necessity and require the
use of force to be restrained and proportional. CHRI notes that while
couriers are shot and killed by border agents without warning or trial,
Article 22 of Iran's constitution states, "the life, property, rights,
and occupation of individuals are immune from violation." Despite this,
border couriers are losing their lives in growing numbers at the hands
of officers who shoot without legal authorization. "Under Iranian law,
those who order and execute the shooting of couriers should be
prosecuted and punished, and citizens should have the right to use all
available channels to seek justice," Ghaemi added.
Poverty and Discrimination Force Iran's Ethnic Minorities into Dangerous
Courier Jobs
Kulbars transport goods between the Kurdish regions of Iran and Iraq,
while sukhtbars operate in the Sistan and Baluchistan province. With
little other available work in these economically depressed areas that
are badly neglected by the central government, these border couriers
navigate hazardous terrain and face the continuous threat of being shot
and killed by Iranian border guards. The killing of 14-year-old Omran
Baloch Zahi was typical of the violent and unlawful actions these
couriers are subjected to by Islamic Republic border guards. The guards
did not stop and warn the driver of the fuel tanker, but proceeded
immediately to shoot at the couriers, according to the HRNA human rights
news agency. Omran was shot in the back, his 16-year-old brother was
shot in the abdomen, and his 15-year-old cousin was also shot. They were
taken to Razi Saravan Hospital for treatment, but Omran died a week
later. The above numbers represent an increasing use of lethal state
force against the couriers. During the 12-month period from March 2023
to March 2024, at least 27 kulbars, including one 17-year-old child,
were killed, and 311 kulbars, including 15 children, were injured by
gunfire from Iranian security forces, according to the Kurdistan Human
Rights Network. Meanwhile, at least 40 sukhtbars were killed by Iran's
security forces in 2023, and 19 others were injured, according to the
Baluch Activists Campaign. One of the sukhtbars killed was a child,
15-year-old Edris Gomshad Zehi Gorgij, who was the only breadwinner in
the family since Edris's father was imprisoned. The entrenched
discrimination that the country's minorities face is the prime driver
behind their courier work. Regions predominantly inhabited by ethnic
minorities experience severe underdevelopment compared to other areas of
the country, and poor access to education and employment forces many to
take on dangerous jobs such as border couriers. In addition to the state
violence, hundreds of couriers are killed or injured every year in
accidents.
"When border agents see a fuel courier ... they just start shooting"
CHRI interviewed a 34-year-old sukhtbar from the border city of Saravan
in Sistan and Baluchistan province. He explained that the primary reason
for taking this job is the severe lack of employment opportunities.
"The main reason I got into this line of work was the lack of jobs and
the poverty. I have been smuggling fuel for nearly four years now. There
is no reason other than poverty and bad economic conditions that drive
people towards this work. I know many juveniles who smuggle fuel. These
are children who, due to difficult economic circumstances, cannot
continue their education and turn to fuel smuggling. These children
don't even have the money to travel from one village to another to
attend school. Almost two or three members of every family I know are
involved in fuel smuggling, including children. In border cities and
villages like Saravan, the number of juveniles involved in fuel
smuggling is very high. When border agents see a fuel courier, it's as
if they've seen ISIS militants. They just start shooting. They don't
even consider the fact that this fuel smuggler is also a human being
with a family."
CHRI interviewed a 40-year-old fuel courier in the city of Chabahar,
Sistan and Baluchistan province, who spoke about the extortion couriers
also regularly face from border agents. "In recent years, the number of
fuel couriers in Sistan and Baluchistan province has increased
significantly. The only reason for this is extreme poverty. There is no
other reason for people to risk their lives and become fuel couriers.
State agents, in fact, extort money from fuel couriers. They stop them
and take any money they have earned, so they won't be arrested. If we
don’t have money, they confiscate our means of transportation, which
means our families will suffer because we have no other source of
income. Security officers are only interested in extortion. It’s not
just the danger of being killed that affects the families of fuel
couriers, but also the extortion by the officers that destroys the lives
of these families."
"The authorities treat kulbars like drug traffickers"
CHRI interviewed a kulbar from Kamyaran, Kurdistan province, who
described the harsh realities of their work and the violence they face
from Islamic Republic security forces. "Being a kulbar is not easy work.
It’s not like you can just go to the border and bring goods with you.
The routes are very difficult, and there is a high risk of being
arrested, killed, or injured along these routes. In this line of work,
there is always the possibility of being shot. Often, the authorities
also confiscate our belongings and mobile phones. The items we kulbars
bring are clothes, TV sets, household appliances like vacuum cleaners,
juicers, cosmetics, fabrics, and so on. We don't smuggle drugs or
alcoholic beverages, but the authorities treat kulbars like drug
traffickers."
Many Children Work as Couriers-and Face Lethal State Violence
CHRI interviewed a 38-year-old kulbar from Kamyaran in Kurdistan
province, who was formerly a pastry chef. Worsening economic conditions
and a lack of employment opportunities forced him to become a kulbar. He
discussed how many kulbars are young and some even hold professional
degrees, yet have turned to this dangerous work as their only means of
livelihood. "It's not unusual these days to see 18-year-old kulbars. Not
long ago, I saw a 12-year-old boy who had come with his father for
kulbari. [The father] said his son should be in school, but he didn't
have the means to pay for his education. Right now, 60-70% of the
kulbars are under 20 years old. Some are even 15 or 16 years and
younger. Last month, I was working with 12 other kulbars. I was older
than all of them. All 12 of them were born in the 2000s. Not only are
more children engaged in kulbari, but the number of educated kulbars has
also increased. There are young people who even have university degrees
but were forced [by economic hardship] to become kulbars. I myself am a
professional pastry chef. However, the economic conditions have become
so bad in the past few years that I could no longer continue working as
a chef; I had to become a kulbar." "Kurdish and Baluchi minority
populations should not face state violence for simply trying to survive
in regions that have been systematically neglected by the Iranian
government," said Ghaemi. "Instead of demonstrating their complete
disregard for the lives of minority members, Iranian authorities should
ensure that education and employment opportunities are available to
young people in these communities, so that they’re not forced into
courier jobs," Ghaemi said.>>
