A/HRC/37/68/Add.1 and affection toward her, the other allegations made in the Draft are unsubstantiated. It is thus noticed that despite her terrorist activities and armed action, he was pardoned and her punishment was commuted. Reply to paragraph 74 As it was said, in Iran, religions and people live peacefully together, and in this regard the Islamic Republic of Iran is a successful model. With a general look and comparison, the facilities and religious sites of different ethnic groups are very significant. There are over 10,000 Sunni mosques in Iran (for every 600 people there is a mosque). While there is a mosque for every 1300 Shi’ite people who make up a large population of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In addition, there are over 3,000 Sunni religious schools in Iran. It should be noted that, as mentioned in the previous paragraphs, there are no restrictions for different ethnic groups and their application to various executive positions, including councils and local and provincial and national administrations, and embassies of Iran in foreign countries. Presently there are 19 Sunnis members in the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Parliament) and have been appointed to many provincial offices and even sent to foreign countries as ambassadors of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This all indicates the Islamic Republic of Iran's attention to them and to their presence in the h decision makings of the country. In Sistan and Baluchestan province, it is possible to refer to the improvement of living conditions in provinces with a majority of the Sunni population. This province, with the majority of Sistani Fars and Baluchi Fars, has been affected by the colonial program of the British government in the last regime, lived in the worst possible economic situation, but during the 38 years of establishing the Islamic Republic of Iran and through numerous economic and cultural programs (as a deprived area) they have received more funds and investments in comparison with advanced provinces; in spite of its close proximity to the heavily backwarded terrorist introducing provinces of the eastern neighbors of Iran, the economic, cultural and health development indicators of this province are in their best ever situation. The existence of numerous universities, hospitals, development of roads and ports and political participation of the tribal elders of the province in the posts and executive positions is very significant. In addition to the presence of representatives of the people of this province in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, in the Council of Leadership Experts and in provincial and urban and academic positions, a remarkable social transformation took place, in a way that for the first time in the history of the province, an educated Sunni Baluchi woman has reached the presidency of the City Council, and no significant social opposition has been observed from the traditional context of the province. Unfortunately, the allegations made in this paragraph have been raised without any attention to the serious plans of the Iranian government to uproot poverty from this province. In addition to the continuity of these programs over the past four decades, the present government has been able to work with planned efforts and use of indigenous forces and provide security to the people and help with the blooming of prosperity and development of the province. The most important economic projects of the Government in Sistan and Baluchestan province include: completion of Chabahar-Zahedan railway and its connection to the national railway, development of the port of ShahidBeheshti, plan of 46 thousand hectares, irrigation under pressure for 100 hectares of agricultural land in the center and south of the province, Construction of gas pipeline to Zahedan and other parts of Sistan and Baluchestan, activation of Sistan and Baluchestan border markets, construction of the Chabahar Petrochemical Complex (Makran), development of the Makran coast and even a special appreciation of the currency reserve for implementation of further development projects. The province will be in the next year's budget. Regarding the issue of people who do not have birth certificates, despite the fact that a large number of illegal refugees live in this area, in order to help them to have access to education, health and other social facilities, they have been issued with a temporary identification card to guarantee their access to the guaranteed rights. Therefore, it is necessary to amend this paragraph of the draft. Reply to paragraphs 75-77 This section of the Draft report, disregarding the realities of Islamic countries, has raised incorrect interpretations and even prejudices of the sexual orientation of some individuals in Iran. Interestingly, these beliefs still do not work in many countries with the resistance of people, churches, and some political parties, and in some states in the United States, for example, they still stand up to register homosexuality and their presence in the army is 34
