Topic: Five Iranian soldiers taken hostage by “Jaish al-Adl” in Pakistan
I am
writing to bring to Your Excellency’s attention the need for urgent
United Nations’ involvement in the hostage crisis created by the Jaish
al-Adl (Army of Justice), an Iranian Sunni Muslim rebel group in the
Sistan-Baluchistan province of Pakistan. The group has taken credit for
kidnapping five Iranian border patrol guards and taking them into
Pakistan. Based on recent confirmed news, one of the hostages by the
name of Jamshid Danaei-Fard has already been executed by the hostage
takers.
This
urgent situation demands prompt action from the United Nations. The
lives of four innocent people are in jeopardy. We cannot count on the
current government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to free these
soldiers or take other definitive action. I therefore urge the United
Nations to help resolve this crisis
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter
Warm regards
