Hengaw: Saturday, February 22, 2025

After 96 days, the bodies of Navid Parki, Saleh Parki, Zahid Parki, and Mohammad Raisi were finally handed over to their families. These Balochs were shot and killed by government forces on the day of the incident.

According to a report received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Saturday, February 22, 2025, the remains of Navid Parki (28), Mohammad Raisi (28), Saleh Parki, and Zahid Parki (29), all residents of Saravan, were returned to their families without any official explanation.

The Haalvsh news network reported that on Friday, November 1, 2024, their vehicle was directly targeted and fired upon by security and military forces at the entrance of Saravan. Following the attack, all four were arrested and taken to an undisclosed location.

According to the report, they were killed by security forces on the same day, yet for over three months, IRGC Intelligence and the Saravan Intelligence Department concealed the incident.

While some government officials accused the victims of being members of the armed group “Jaish al-Adl,” the commander of Sistan and Baluchestan’s law enforcement later claimed that drugs had been discovered in their vehicle.
