IMHRO is supporting the International Criminal Court for the arrest warrant for Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir, president of Sudan on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. IMHRO believes that this will be a great step forward for justice in the world.

IMHRO also wants to draw your attention to the situation of ethnic minorities in Iran: Baluches, Kurds, Arabs, Turks and Turkmen, who have been suppressed for many years by the Islamic regime of Iran.

Sir, minorities in Iran are suffering a silent holocaust - they are facing the destruction of their culture, identity, natural resources and mass executions at the hands of the Islamic regime in Iran.

We ask the International Criminal Court to investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity under the rule of Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei, supreme leader of Iran, toward minorities in Iran and we also ask the Hon. International Criminal Court to monitor this case.

IMHRO would be happy to assist you with your investigation and monitoring.

Yours sincerely,

Reza Washahi
IMHRO Director
