Condition of Baloch people in Iran.


The Baloch people in Iran are going through the hardest time in their history.

They have been systematically oppressed, discriminated against and deprived of proper education.

There are 3.5 million Baloch in Iran and there has not been even one single high official in the country in the last 30 years.

1. The life cycle in Baluchistan and Balochi areas is 15 years less than average in the country.

2. The official unemployment rate is more than 72 percent.

3. 76% of Baloch live under the absolute poverty line.

4. According to the United Nations, they have the least educated people in Iran.

5. There is seven hundred academic staff in Balochistan universities and only ten of them are Baloch. While these 10 persons have educated themselves, the rest have been given scholarships to study in Iran or outside.

6. They are oppressed on a daily basis and humiliated in their own cities in a way that has never happened before.
