On October 23, 2008 Qulamrza Amani, one of the activists and leaders of South Azerbaijan National movement has been killed together with two of his brothers in traffic accident.
Witnesses say that two lorries which have squeezed Amani’s car belong to SEPAH (Islamic Revolution Guards Corpus). The murder has happened on the road Tebriz – Khoja (a city in 30 km to Northern-West of Tebriz). An engineer Amani was one of organizers and leaders of national movement events and had been several times jailed for his activity. He has been imprisoned in last 1999 year for 5 years of jail for his political and cultural activity and afterwards was also jailed for his organizing and activity in the protest actions held by Southern Azerbaijanis against Persian racist politics. There is information that approximately 10 days before his murder Amani had received letters and phone calls with threats.

       It should be noted that Iranian regime pursues systematic policy of suppressing Azerbaijanis who demand their natural rights to practice mother tongue since this right is indicated even in the Constitution of the named country. Azerbaijanis constitute 35 million of 70 million population of Iran. During last months Iran regime has imprisoned more than 20 activists of Southern Azerbaijan including writers, analysts, journalists, students, university teachers and others.

      The national policy adopted by present Iran regime does not differ from the policies conducted by its predecessor racist Pahlavi regime. This regime denies national identity of all the non-Persian nations living there though they are pretending to be standard-bearer of Islamic world.
