They propagate openness with the outside world, but the repression at home continues in a more hideous way. As for the second oppressed minority, they are the people of Sunni Arabs in Ahwaz province, where they are prevented from performing their religion practices or build their own mosques and the Imam of the only mosque for Sunnis in the region of Abadan, Sheykh Abdul Hamid al-Dossari, is still exiled to a remote region after he was released from prison where the authorities had imprisoned him for six years and the only Sunni mosque in the city of Abadan, in which Al-Dossari was an Imam, has been closed. Iranian Sunnis in general complain about the policy of discrimination against them, but Sunni Arabs are the most oppressed because of their suffering from national oppression, as well as the ongoing sectarian conflict in the Middle East. The Iranian regime always perceives them as a threat to national security, because the sons of this minority share the faith and beliefs of the neighboring countries. The Sunnis are being treated as servants and not treated as citizens. The Constitution of the Islamic Republic deprives Sunnis from assuming high positions in the State such as the position of the presidency and the presidency of the Shura Council (parliament), not to mention the position of the Supreme Leader. The current Iranian government is devoid of any Sunni minister and none of the members of the governing body of the Shura Council is a Sunni member. As for the members of the Guardian Council of the Constitution, which has twelve members, six of whom are appointed by the Supreme Leader and the six others are nominated by the president of the judiciary, who presents them to Parliament, which approves them. Those members are all Shiites, and there is not one Sunni among them. There are a lot of examples and evidence of the discriminatory policy which is practiced against Sunnis. In addition to the Sunni minority present mainly in Ahwaz province, there are thousands of Ahwazi Arab citizens who have changed their faith from Shi’a to Sunni and the phenomenon of converting to Sunni Islam increased recently among the youth, as a reaction to the failure of the religious state model in Iran and them coming to the conclusion that Arabs of Ahwaz, despite the majority being of the fa of Shia, are subjected to national oppression and racial discrimination only because of their Arab nationality. The authorities continue the campaign of arrests and intimidation against those young people to prevent them from practicing their faith and religious rituals and hundreds of Sunni young people are still in prison only because they held communal prayers or owned books about the Sunni faith.
