Confronting Discrimination in Ethnic/Racial Issues – Karim Khalaf Dahimi
In the absence of impartial and independent news media, the human rights activists have exposed human rights violations against Arab people and other ethnic and religious minorities, leading to the failure of the closed media space of Persian-language media outlets. We have witnessed this news organization being used as a source by some human rights organizations and even media outlets, which is commendable.
Connecting with human rights activists of different ethnicities and documenting human rights violations in various regions is not an easy task and requires a lot of resources and capabilities. However, the group of activists and the news agency of Herana have been able to cover these news to some extent.
It is expected that this human rights organization and its news agency -Hrana- will expand its activities and reduce discrimination in reporting ethnic issues, and will not consider red lines for its activities in order to clarify human rights violations in different regions. It should defend and publish news about individuals, especially prisoners, without taking into account their political beliefs.
