In the province of Sistan-Baluchistan, near the border with Pakistan and Afghanistan, there is a minority of Sunni velvehs who denounce their economic marginalization and political exclusion.
In this province there are often conflicts between security forces and armed organizations, including Sunni fighters and separatists who argue that they are fighting for more rights and autonomy.
