Today, November 11, Baluchi people in Zahedan, Khash, Iranshahr, Rask, Saravan, and Chabahar took to the streets shortly after the Friday Prayers sermon and continued their protests for hours despite the suppressive forces opened fire and fired tear gas on them.

In Zahedan, locals in different streets clashed with the suppressive forces who tried to disperse the crowd with bird shots. Protesters were chanting, “Death to Khamenei, damn with Khomeini,” “Shiites and Sunnis are brothers; they want to get rid of Khamenei,” and “We will stand to the end.”  A group of people marched to Darvazeh Khash neighborhood, chanting, “Basij, IRGC, you are our ISIS.”

In Rask, people skirmished with the suppressive forces, attacked the governorate building, and set a police cabin on fire while chanting, “Damn the supreme leader.”

In Iranshahr, the suppressive forces opened fire and launched tear gas at the crowd in Bazaar, and people clashed with them. Hit-and-run clashes between people and suppressive forces continued in several places.

In Saravan, IRGC forces opened fire on people at point-blank range and patrolled the city with helicopters. Protesters chanted, “Neither Shah nor Mullah, this is the final warning,” and “political prisoners must be released.”

In Khash, youths brought down a street sign with the name of former Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani and stepped over it. The suppressive forces opened fire, and people confronted them while chanting, “I will kill whoever killed my brother,” and “shame on you, shame on you.”
