Iranian Revolutionary Court Executes Two Sunni Scholars Print E-mail
Friday, 11 April 2008 23:23
ImageIranian sources confirmed that Iranian authorities carried out death sentence for two Sunni scholars in Zahidan City, center of Baluchistan Province without the presence of any lawyer and the right of defend. 

 


Ahwaz Arab Renaissance Party told that Iranian authorities carried out executions each of the two Sheikhs Mullah Abdul Qudous Zihi and Mohammad Youssef Sohrabi after a few months of their arrest. 


They have added that the arrested sheikhs were accused of belonging to the organization of Jund Allah oppose to the Iranian Regime. However they denied the accusation saying it was a means to justify their arrest which came against their activity and refusal to stop continuation of teaching at the school of al Furqan al Islamiyah. 
 

The decision was the execution of two sheikhs by the Revolution Court which carried out secretly without accepting the presence of a lawyer to defend them.
Iranian authorities have refused to hand over the bodies of two sheikhs to their families while they burned them in a cemetery in Zahedan City.

It is noteworthy that Mullah Zihi was the director of Dar al Furqan  Religious School in the city of Iranshar in Baluchistan province. Sheikh Muhammad Omar Sarbazi which was assassinated last year had confessed later on that Iranian intelligence services agents imposed him the task. Image

On the other hand the Sunni community in the Iranian city of Mashad, the capital of Khorasan Province expressed their concern over the fate of a senior Sunni scholar in the governorate arrested by the special court of clerics a few days ago.

Residents said that these forces belong to the court of clerics arrested last week Sheikh Abdul Ali Khair Shahi one of the prominent ahl Sunni community scholar in Iran taking him to an unknown location.  


Sunni Muslims ranging numbers – according to semi-official Iranian statistics- are between 14 to 19 million people consisting of 20-28 % of Iranian population.

They are divided into three main ethnicities as Baluch, Kurds, Turkmen and a few Arabs in Arabistan (al Ahwaz) territory while Sunni Muslims from Persian-Iraq their presence is rare. Iran has been a Sunni State until the tenth century AH. 


Sunni Muslims stationed near the border lines that separate Iran from neighboring countries which have Sunni Majorities such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkmenistan and Turkey.

In spite of the fact they represent the largest religious minority in the country, but the level of their representation in Parliament and the ministerial formation is not commensurate with the numerical proportion. 


Sunni Community in Iran are poorer, less educated and having less opportunities in the capital Tehran, which prevents the establishment of the Sunni mosques so far in spite of many promises and demands.

The Iranian government justifies its refusal to Shiite mosques are open to people of the Sunni community to reach, and that there was no need for Sunnis to build their own mosques. 


While the Iranian regime had always denied that he is not persecuting the people of the Sunni community in Iran or punishing. But finally the Iranian Regime was forced under pressure from the press and the media to recognize that the number of officials engaged in violence against Sunni Muslims and other opponents, claiming that this have not happened under the orders from official leadership.
