A Baloch child made a craft using desert thorns and dipping them into his hand.

A picture of a Baloch child has been posted on social media, full of pain and sighs. This picture should be seen by the whole world so that everyone knows what crimes the Islamic Republic regime is committing against its people.

This image shows a school child who, due to the lack of facilities and tools to make crafts, uses desert thorns and his own hands as tools to complete his schoolwork. His family cannot afford to provide the facilities for his child's education.

This child, enduring pain and burning, swallowed the thorns of the desert in his hand so that he would not fall behind in school and his classmates. A child for whom education is his inalienable right, but who does not have even the slightest educational facilities. A child who has the desire to study and learn literacy, but must endure pain to obtain it. The pain and burning that is felt by a thorn in his hand or foot, and the thorn does not remain in the body, but for this child it serves as a tool to avoid falling behind in his lessons.

The Baloch people have been oppressed since the past, it is not without reason that Balochistan is called the "accumulation of oppression" of the Iranian government, because it has an oppressed people. Balochistan has been under the complete control of the Revolutionary Guards for years and by imposing poverty, illiteracy, discrimination, identitylessness of its children and the lack of basic living facilities, it has ranked last in all indicators of development and progress.

The people of Balochistan live below the absolute poverty line and are in a very miserable state of unemployment. Many Baloch children are deprived of the right to education due to lack of facilities and in many cases are engaged in work and income generation at a young age.

Children whose right is to sit at school desks and play with their peers, and who should have no concerns other than education, are today being deprived of their lives by the criminal regime of the Islamic Republic, which not only does not provide them with any facilities, but also takes their lives by shooting them in a barrage of bullets.

A regime that sheds tears and mourns the killing of a child 1,400 years ago, but ignores the children who look to the future with worried eyes and thousands of hopes, and tramples them, along with all their dreams, under its cruel feet.

No country, religion, or creed has recorded such cruelty as the Islamic Republic government has committed against its people. Crimes for which it must be held accountable, every single one of them.

Hoping for a day when children can think and strive only for the future ahead, without any worries and with the best facilities.
