Iran: Agonizing Living Condition of Homeless Children

unnamed-file

NCRI – On Wednesday November 9th 2016 state-run ILNA News Agency reported that the tents of Balouchi and Sistani (ethnic minorities) people living in outskirts of Tehran were destroyed and removed by government agents.

According to ILNA, there has been 30 tents available in this region for homeless families with twenty children under 18 years old. The children do not have any Identity card and they are also deprived of education. Nevertheless, it has been a while since one of these tents has become a school by the number of activists. This school was set on fire by the agents of the Mullahs’ regime on 8th November 2016.

One of these activists says: “it seems that these children do not have any rights. They are inflicted with hunger, addiction, and nomadism. Almost once a year, they confiscate the poor and old shelters and they call the nomads as the illegal inhabitants that must leave.”

The activist also refers to the miserable situation of these children under the rule of the Mullahs’ regime and stated that: “the children like the adults are also searching for food in the garbage and the addiction is prevailing among them. Regime’s officials do not care if they do not have an identity card or a place to live; after all they are children. This happens while ridiculously Mullahs’ regime has signed the convention on the rights of children.”

He also referred to the lack of living facilities among those who live in the outskirt of the city. There is no hygiene, safe drinking water or restroom.

He also added:” these 20 children do not have anywhere to go. They are abandoned in this cold winter. Only two tents are left that each is allocated to the men and women. Please don’t set these two tents on fire. They have told them to find a place by tomorrow otherwise, they will come tomorrow and set the two remaining tents on fire.

The indigence and misery of the Iranian people increases while the agents of the Mullahs’ regime loot and plunder the properties of these people and their scandal is always released by the same newspapers and media that are affiliated with the regime.
