Iran returns bodies of two Baluch killed by security forces after 13-day delay

Iranian authorities returned the bodies of two Baluch men killed by plainclothes security forces in Zahedan after a 13-day delay, under strict security demands. The incident highlights ongoing repression of the Baluch minority in Sistan-Baluchestan, with the delay and conditions suggesting an attempt to control information and prevent unrest. The event is part of a broader pattern of security force violence in the region, but the specific circumstances and official accountability remain unclear.
