Iranian authorities have sentenced a young Baluch man, Mohammad Narooie, to 12 years in prison for alleged "membership in anti-Islamic Republic groups."
According to Haalvsh, an organization that monitors rights violations against Iran’s Baluch minority, the alleged actions leading to this charge remain undisclosed, raising concerns about the fairness of the trial.
Narooie, a 22-year-old resident of Zahedan, was arrested by the Ministry of Intelligence on April 8, 2023.
During his detention, he was denied access to legal representation, in violation of his basic human rights.
Following his arrest, state-affiliated media released a video purporting to show Narooie confessing to membership in a militia group.
In 2023, human rights activists in Iran documented 80 instances of forced confessions.
