Iran: children victim of land mines

         

Despite more than a quarter of a century passed since Iran-Iraq war ended, the aftermath of this devastating war keeps taking more and more lives in the form of landmine explosion killing or maiming dozens, especially the most vulnerable, children. Residents of landmine areas are mainly the victims of this inhuman war that took the lives of over one million people.

            

The latest incident relates to the city of Piranshahr, northwestern Iran. The city keeps records of about 65 deaths due to landmine explosion. This record in getting higher, but the local government is not doing anything to at least prevent further deaths. The corrupt regime of mullahs has not done anything during past 26 years to demarcate the landmine areas and to prevent defenseless and unaware residents from going in that area.
