Iran's Methods of Suppressing Minorities
The article highlights Iran's oppressive policies toward national and religious minorities, particularly Sunni Arabs, Kurds, and Baloch, where authorities adopt a systematic approach of exclusion and marginalization through assassinations, forced disappearances, policies of "Persianization" of regions with non-Persian majorities, and the imposition of Shia Islam on Sunni communities. The report indicates that Iran's human rights record is marked by severe violations and that the regime relies on security policies to suppress the demands of these minorities, with increasing arrests and executions, especially following the protests of December 2025. It also mentions that the assassination of a Sunni cleric in Zahedan reflects a escalation in targeting the minority, amid international calls to end these violations. The article emphasizes that these policies, which intensify in resource-rich areas like Khuzestan, aim to displacement and Persianization of these communities, reflecting the continuation of a repressive approach and the reshaping of Iran’s demographics.
