Iran's land-grab policy in Ahwaz
The policy of illegally seizing land in Ahwaz is one of the most hallmark Iranian policies that have been in place for nine decades. It was initiated by Shah Reza Pahlavi and devolved in the Islamic republic. The document leaked in 2005, which was then known as Abtahi Document, named after the head of former Iranian president Mohammed Khatami's office, may be a testament to the colonial intentions of the Iranian authorities. These policies are aimed to expel Arabs from their lands. Upon leaking this document, April uprising erupted.
This document is one of the hundreds of documents that expose criminal schemes carried out by the Iranian authorities in Ahwaz. The document literally confirms the displacement of Arabs from their land and their replacement by Persians and other Iranian citizens, bringing the number of non-Arab settlers in Ahwaz within ten years three times the indigenous Arab people.

Iran accused of manipulating the Palestinian cause while hiding its colonialism against Ahwazi Arabs
Tehran regime is conducting itself in a manner that bears a striking similarity to the Israeli government that it indicts for crimes against the Palestinian people. Iran does this by forcibly expropriating the lands, farms and homes of the Ahwazi Arab people of the southwestern Iranian province of Khuzestan, and “giving” them to Persian settlers who are offered generous financial incentives by the regime to move to the area.
With Ahwazis denied basic rights, any compensation or any effective legal recourse against the regime’s decisions, the dispossessed Ahwazis are left destitute while ethnic Persian settlers seize their homes and lands in a manner not dissimilar from Israeli settlers in Palestine.
