\nIn an interview with \u201cSunniOnline\u201d, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid termed the long-term insecurity of Iranshahr a reason behind the mass rape cases.
\nHe told us: \u201cIranshahr has been suffering from insecurity for many years. This insecurity is unprecedented. Despite demands by different public figures and MPs, the management of the city could not control it and made the town safe.\u201d
\n\u201cWhen people\u2019s wealth and souls are not secured, their dignity also will be unsafe. When sinister people see themselves free of any persecution, punishment and law, they will commit any kind of crimes,\u201d Friday imam of Zahedan said.
\nHe asked the pertinent authorities to review in the ongoing \u201cincompetent\u201d management of the city and change members of the security council of Iranshahr County.
\nThe most influential Iranian Sunni leader said: \u201cThere should be a firm decision by the officials to bring peace back to the city. People are requested to calm down and city\u2019s Ulama should carry out their duties by legal channels.\u201d
\nIn a talk with ILNA news agency, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid called on the victims to file their complaints without any hesitation and no one should tease the victims.
\n\u201cPeople are asking us about the case and their honor and feelings have been targeted; so the judiciary should follow the case and inform masses,\u201d he concluded his talk with SunniOnline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
