Association of Supporters of champions of Mehryad Khuzestan Thank you, Madame President. The main challenge to inclusion and equality as well as barriers in social and economic participation of minority in Iran are inherent to the inception to the Islamic Republic and the states approach of governments based on the logic of one country one state one religion and one language. Since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979 the Kurds similar to Baluchis and other minorities are stigmatized, marginalized, and excluded from any participation in public life and perceived and threated as hostile groups by Iranian state and its media. As the Women Life Freedom revolution showed, over half of the protesters killed or blinded are Kurdish and Baluchis. Since January this year at least 700 prisoners were executed and again half of them are Kurdish and Baluchi citizens. Madame President, we call of this Forum and on the Special Rapporteur on minority issues to elaborate a report on inclusion and various social and economic participation of minorities in Islamic republic of Iran. Thank you for your attention.
