Do your best for the release of Ahwazi Arab Poet, Ahmad Hazbawi
It must also be noted that, concurrent with this horrible racist wave, anti-Arab security services have targeted tens of Arab cultural and political activists in Ahwaz.Ahmad Hazbawi, who was arrested simply for reciting his poetry among Ahwazi people, faces torture and possible death in a secret prison of the Intelligence Services. None of the cultural organizations or personalities of the Iranian opposition, specially Iranian Writers Union, who claim to defend the right to free speech has condemned these arbitrary arrests, while they produce statements regarding less important issues. It seems that the free speech these organizations defend does not include Ahwazi Arab citizens and their poets.
The members of the CCRDAI appeal to the International PEN and English PEN to condemn this racist wave and do their efforts for the release of Ahmad Hazbawi.
