Balochistan fuel; Citizens left behind by the protection of the law / Mohsen Burhanzahi - In Balochistan, where poverty, unemployment, widespread shortages and the lack of sustainable work opportunities have made life difficult for many families, the supply of fuel has become one of the few ways to provide a livelihood for some people. Dangerous activity beyond unsafe roads, the lack of suitable infrastructure, and the danger of fuel-carrying vehicles igniting, is accompanied by another serious threat; Shooting by military forces and law enforcement, which, according to many reports, is carried out in some cases without notice of cessation, advance warning and observance of the legal rules for the use of weapons. For years there have been reports of people being killed, injured and burned alive on the roads of Balochistan. Cars catching fire due to bullet hits, drivers caught in flames and families losing loved ones to provide bread for the night. These incidents raise a fundamental question: are the "stop, warning and necessity" rules that are supposed to limit the use of weapons in the border areas of Balochistan really being followed? According to Section 6 of the Law on the Use of Weapons by Armed Forces Officers, which was approved in 2013, shooting at cars is only permitted under certain legal conditions and the officers are required to comply with the legal rules and restrictions related to the use of weapons. At the international level, Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Iran is bound, recognizes the right to life and prohibits arbitrary deprivation of life. However, what is repeated in the narratives of firefighters and local reports is a worrying gap between the law and the actions of the police. According to these narratives, in certain traffic lanes of fuel-carrying vehicles, the police shoot without announcing a stop or warning. In some cases, bullets hit vehicles carrying fuel and caused fires, and the drivers died in the flames without a chance to get out of the vehicle.
