The Syrian Human Rights Committee (SHRC) denounced the deporting of another group of Ahwazi citizens living in Syria to the Iranian authorities. An SHRC media spokesman  said that this measurement means a complete denial of the Syrian authorities' obligations towards Human Rights covenants that commit them to offer protection to individuals risking perils in case of their return to their countries of origin. The Syrian authorities had previously provided them with a safe haven, permitting them to carry out their activities, viewing the issue of Arabism (which is violated by the Persian authorities) in the Ahwazi region as theirs.

The spokesman requested the Syrian authorities to immediately cease denying the Human Rights covenants sold by them for political dealings, and to use their influence to release the deportees who were arrested upon arriving in Iran.
