This petition arises from the tragic self-immolation attempt by a Baluch father in Mehrshahr, Zahedan, due to the refusal to enroll his child in school and the widespread discrimination faced by Baluch students. Many schools in Zahedan and other parts of Baluchistan unjustly deny enrollment to Baluch children without valid reasons, violating their right to equal education.
We call for the following actions:
- Immediate investigation into the self-immolation attempt and all related complaints regarding the denial of student enrollment.
- A thorough inquiry into educational discrimination and preventive measures to stop such discriminatory behavior.
- Guarantee of equal educational rights for all children, as the Constitution stipulates.
- Financial support for low-income Baluch families to ensure their children can continue their education.
- Resolution of issues concerning undocumented Baluch children and assurance of their right to free education.
Education is the right of every child and must be provided without discrimination or obstacles.
