Iran: letter signed by 19 Balouchi political prisoners in Zahedan to human rights organizations

                    

In an open letter written to international human rights organizations, 19 Balouchi political prisoners in Zahedan Central prison, east of Iran called for assigning an investigator to Zahedan Central prison to visit the prisoners and see the brutal treatment of all political prisoners especially the Balouchies. Copies of this letter were also sent to the UNHCR, UN Secretary General, Amnesty International and the special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran, Dr. Ahmad Shaheed.
The letter reads in part; 'We, the political prisoners in Zahedan central prison are suffering from harsh and intolerable conditions imposed on us. We ask the above international organizations to send human rights investigators to this prison to meet us in person and see the inhumane situation that we are forced to live in. 
Therefore we are asking the UN Secretary General to promptly act on this request.
