Molavi Abdolhamid, the Friday prayer leader of Zahedan, stated in his sermon on March 8 that the policies of the Islamic Republic have reached a deadlock and that the constitution requires a complete revision. According to him, Iran, a country with a population of 90 million, cannot solve its problems through relations with small countries and must establish friendly relations with the whole world while seriously revising its current policies. The Friday prayer leader of Zahedan emphasized: 'The result of the policies adopted over the past 46 years has led the nation to a deadlock today.' Molavi Abdolhamid added: 'The constitution needs a complete reconstruction, and the country's domestic and foreign policies must change.' He regarded the wave of Iranian elites emigrating abroad as a serious warning and stressed the necessity of their return, stating: 'This is only possible when the country overcomes the economic crisis and management problems.' In another part of his speech, the Sunni Friday prayer leader of Zahedan reminded the need to address the case of Yusef Shahlibar, a 5-year-old child who lost his life in Iranshahr, calling for serious follow-up and justice in this regard. In this context, it is worth reading more: Officials claim the arrest of 9 agents; human rights organizations demand international investigations into the murder of the 5-year-old child from Iranshahr. Molavi Abdolhamid has criticized the policies of the Islamic Republic and high-ranking officials and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in many of his Friday sermons. The funeral of Yusef Shahlibar, the 5-year-old child who died due to military forces' gunfire in Iranshahr, has seen officials claiming the arrest of agents, while organizations are calling for international investigations. The plaintiffs of the 'Bloody Friday' in Zahedan protested against the issued verdict: the perpetrators should be prosecuted. The negligent agents in the 'Bloody Friday' case in Zahedan were acquitted of 'retribution.'
