Security services, law enforcement and local government were involved in the arrest of about 200 people following the events of Sunday December 30, 2007 in Bender Turkmen and Chapakly. Of these, approximately 150 people were released, however 50 remain in prison. A female teacher who protested against their action also was thrown into prison. At this time there is no information about the well-being of these prisoners. According to Iranian Turkmen Web sites the prisoners have been tortured.
By law, the “Sea Guard” has the authority to arrest such offenders. However, is it within the law that they act as a judge and executor as well?
Over the past 20 years, the “Sea Guard” has also been involved in the killing of several young people (aged from14 to 25) who were involved in illegal fishing.
Iranian officials consider the Islam (Shiite) religion as religion of “protest”. But it would seem the only protesting carried out is by the Government at the expense of the people.
