Iran’s crackdown on the Sunnis of Ahwaz continues as three Sunni preachers from Iran’s Ahwazi Arab minority were arrested on Sunday in Mahshahr city, Kuzestan province of Iran.

Security forces then proceeded to raid the Saboori family home, causing ‘fear and panic’ to the women and children in the house.
Ahwazi human rights activist Karim Dahimi told the HRA News Agency, “[Hossein Saboori] was a Sunni preacher and he would collect the youth of the Al-Kora area [Taleghani] and teach them Arabic language and the Qur’an.”
The Saboori brothers were previously detained in May 2014 by the Ministry of Intelligence on charges of ‘spreading propaganda against the state’ in relation to their Sunni preaching activities.
Another Sunni preacher, 25-year old Sami Zebady Alboghobesh, was also arrested on Sunday in the market in Taleghani.
A Sunni religious activist, he had previously converted from Shi’ism to Sunni Islam, and actively participated in meetings held to teach the Arabic language.
The latest arrests comes just days after seven Sunni converts were arrested in Ahwaz city and taken to an unknown location after holding congregational Sunni Taraweeh prayers.

More Ex-Shias inside Iran and the Mullahs answer with torture!

More conversions to Sunnism (in Ahwaz) – The impotent Ayatullats see their last chance by forcing people into Shia rituals!
Article taken from sunniprisonersiran.com. We have only bolded and underlinded some parts in this post. Please note that this is not some isolated case. Conversion to Sunni Islam is increasingly common among Ahwazi Arabs and lately even among ethnic Persians from major citiies such as Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan etc.
In this shocking court indictment you can read first-hand how the Iranian authorities attempt to criminalize Sunni religious activities such as holding Qur’an study meetings and performing congregational prayers.
Bizarrely, even celebrating Eid “at the same time that it was announced in Saudi Arabia” was mentioned by the court as ‘evidence’ that the defendants had engaged in “propaganda” against the state.
The court’s blatant discrimination against the defendants’ Sunni beliefs was further illustrated by its decision to sentence the men to obligatory participation in Shia religious rituals.
Also note the court’s use of phrases such as ‘Wahhabi’ and ‘Salafi’, terms that are commonly used in a derogatory manner by the Iranian authorities in reference to practicing Sunni Muslims.

Ex-Shia phenomenon in Iran: Mass-conversion amongst Arab Ahwazis
Conversion to Sunni Islam is increasingly common among Ahwazi Arabs who are disenchanted by a Shia theocratic regime that persecutes them (. Just recently around twenty Arab Ahwazis betwen 20-30 years old have been arrested and their crime was their conversion from Shi’ism to Sunnism (orthodox Islam). Human rights activist pointed out that none of those arrested were involved in political activities (something the Iranian regime and her stooges always use to get rid of everyone they dislike).

He is the grandson of the famous ‘Ayatollah’ Seyyed Mohammad Tabatabai. and his grandfather from his mothers side is the famous ‘Ayatollah’ Mirza Ahmad Ashtiyani. The young Mostafa managed to have a huge influence on his mother (a daughter of an ‘Ayatollah’ after all!) and even convince d her to abonden alot of superstitions and deviant Shiite Imamite beliefs that she was brought up with (just he like he himself) all her life.
He entered the Shia religious centre (Hawzah) of Qom and by the age of twenty he received Ijazat (permission) of Ijtihad. Nevertheless he refused to wear the Shia clerical clothing and never wore it to this very day (Al-Hamdulillah). Raised in a religious family he studied Arabic (he mastered Arabic), Fiqh, Usool Al-Fiqh, Hadith, Tafsir, history and Philosophy under his grandfather (‘Ayatollah’ Mohammad Tabatabai).
Ahmad Kasravi (Ex-Shia) – An unsheathed sword against pagan Rafidite Shi’ism & its clergy
Ahmad Kasravi (29 September 1890 – March 11, 1946), was an Iranian intellectual (Ancient Languages, history, Politics, religion, and Philosophy) and one of the few Iranian intellectuals who instead of having a biased and vitriolic stance towards Islam, actually came to the conclusion that Islam is a UNIVERSAL (for Arabs, Persians, Whites, Blacks etc.) religion, the only true monotheistic religion (yet, ironically Iranian nationalist Anti-Islamic Hate-Mongers quote him day and night to prove the falshood and superstitions of Shi’ism, yet they do not mention that this man basically converted to Islam and Sunnah, for the was a staunch defender of Islam, albeit being secular in his political thoughts). Yet, like every sane and educated man, and especially Iranian who knows Iranian Islamic history (Buyids, Safavids etc.) – realised the corruption of the polytheist and pagan sect of twelver Shi’ism …
Popularity of Rafidi Shia scholars inside Iran – Shi’ism rotting within its fortress
NOTE: We – sonsofsunnah.com – condemn ANY FORM of seperatism, be it from Ahwazi Arabs, Azeri Turks or Baloch. However, we support the struggle of all Iranian citizens (Sunnis, Shias, Christians, Jews) against the despotic khomeinian regime of Iran.
Ex-Shia (Rafidi) convert to Islam (Sunnah) – هدايت يك شيعي به اهل سنت | WESAL FARSI TV
Brother Ali Abu Omar (the brother in the white Dishdaashah) sharing his journey to Islam and Sunnah to brother Hassan Shemrani (moderator) and the viewers and explaining why no sane man, especially the one who is seeking Islamic monotheism (Tawheed) will never choose Rafidi Shi’ism as his religion and way of life. The brother explains how far Rafidah Shi’ism is away from Tawheed and Sunnah and how this batini-heretic cult falsely ascribes itself to the pure household of the Messenger whilst introducing all sorts of paganism in their name just like what the Christianity did with Jesus peace be upon him.
(it is important to note that the brother, though very young (21) is fluent in arabic and almost a Hafith of the Qur’an. These are the fruits of Tawheed and Sunnah, whereas there is not one “Miracle of Allah” (“Ayatollah”), not one Marja’ of the Rafidah who is known to be a Hafith of the noble Qur’an (that is why you never see recordings of their “Marja’s” reciting the Qur’an, and even if then they recite Surah’s with 3-5 verses!), like the laughing-stocks >here<)
