A Khuzestan citizen was arrested after protesting the lack of relief for flood victims.
A Khuzestan citizen named Khalaf Marvani was arrested in protest against the lack of relief for flood victims in his village and the prevention of the breach of the dam.
According to the Campaign for the Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners, on Thursday, April 5, Khalaf Marvani, an Arab citizen from the village of Marwaneh in the central part of Ahvaz, was arrested by security agencies in Ahvaz and transferred to an unknown location.
A knowledgeable source told the campaign: “Sheikh Khalaf Marwani, the elder of the Maravaneh tribe in Ahvaz, was arrested in protest against the breach of the dam on his agricultural lands and the opening of the dam towards the Dehkhoda Sugar Company.”
In a similar incident, in the early hours of Wednesday, a group of residents of three villages, Sagur, Jalizi, and Shakariyeh, in the Dasht-e-Azadegan region of Khuzestan, clashed with security forces and the Revolutionary Guards. Abboud Jalizi was one of the injured in the clash and died yesterday at Apadana Hospital in Ahvaz.
Voice of America previously reported on the clash, but IRGC officials denied any clashes.
