Iran: Baloch Tribal Elder Passes away

Haji Omid Shahbakhsh, one of the prominent Baloch tribal elders in Iranian Balochistan passed away on Friday morning November 20, 2020 in Zahedan.
Haji Omid was one of the most influential and popular figures in Sistan-Balochistan, who was famous for justice and maintaining peace among Baloch tribes.
