Fourteen Sunni Friday Imams in the city of Sarbaz demanded the release of two Baluch Sunni clerics imprisoned in Zahedan Central Prison.

Fourteen Sunni Friday Imams wrote a letter to the Director-General of Intelligence of Sistan and Baluchestan Province demanding the release of Molavi Amanullah Baluchi and Hafez Abdul Rahim Koohi, two Sunni clerics imprisoned in Kashmar.

The signatories of the letter wrote that “Molavi Amanullah and Hafez Abdul Rahim had no connection with the opposition groups and did not commit any crime.”

Baloch clerics have been detained and harassed by the government in recent years under various pretexts.
