All non-Persian ethnic groups in Iran including Azerbaijani Turks, Arabs, Turkmens, Kurds and Baluchis are subjected to racism and discrimination by not only the Iranian government but also by the Persian society.
In August 2010, the UN anti-racism panel called on Iran to counter racism and ethnic discrimination, including incitement to hatred by officials and "double discrimination suffered by women from minorities.
The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination expressed concern at the exclusion of Arab, Azeri, Balochi, Kurdish and Bahai communities in areas such as housing, education, health, jobs and "from public life".
It is called Ahwaz not Alahwaz, you Saddam's dumb puppet!
There is no such an Ahwazi nation, I was born in Ahavz and we are Persian!
Ahwaz/Khuzestan has not been under invasion by Tehran, we are a part of Iran.
In Khuzestan there are only 25% Arabic speaking Persians.
The producer seems to be a terrorist Arab, trying to encourage separatists and terrorist activities in Khuzestan AGAIN! Like what Saddam did to our province!
