The 'indiscriminate' shooting by the military forces of the Islamic Republic towards a vehicle in Hirmand County, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, left one dead. According to the Rasank website, which follows events in southeastern Iran, a citizen identified as Asif Sasouli, a 30-year-old father of four, was killed following the 'indiscriminate' shooting at the vehicle carrying him in Hirmand County. The report states that military forces at the 'Gholam Ali Dadkhoda' station in Hirmand 'without prior warning' and 'directly' shot at Mr. Sasouli's vehicle, resulting in his death after being 'hit by a bullet.' The killing of citizens due to what some human rights sources describe as 'indiscriminate' and 'unwarned' fire from military and police forces of the Islamic Republic has repeatedly led to civilian deaths in various regions of Iran. In recent days, Islamic Republic military forces shot at a vehicle that was being towed, killing another citizen named Aref Kordi in Khash County. Additionally, Abdul Jalil Gomshadzehi, a 20-year-old citizen from Saravan, was killed due to 'unwarned' shooting by military forces at his vehicle in the border area of 'Mashkid.' Previously, Moein Khazaeli, a lawyer, stated in an interview with VOA that such shootings represent a 'systematic violence-promoting approach within the security and police apparatus' of the Islamic Republic, which is merely the 'tip of the iceberg' of human rights violations in Iran.
