Khorramshahr Residents Protest the Seizure of Deeded Lands
A group of Khorramshahr residents reported the seizure of about 70 residential plots with single-page deeds in this city and called for the immediate intervention of responsible authorities. According to these individuals, approximately 14,000 square meters of land located on Davoodi Street, opposite the government power station, were divided, street-planned, and legally subdivided into different plots years ago. They claim that single-page deeds were issued for these lands, and buyers, after obtaining the necessary inquiries, proceeded to build and reside on these properties.
Property Seizure and Owners' Concerns
According to these claims, after about five years, these properties were seized by judicial order, and owners were informed that the lands were endowed.
The protesting citizens say that despite having official ownership documents and necessary permits, they now face the risk of losing their investment and place of residence. They also claim that a significant portion of their assets and life savings were spent on purchasing these properties, and the continuation of this situation has created numerous livelihood and psychological problems for families. According to them, some owners have threatened self-immolation due to the pressures of this case.
Lack of Response and Raised Allegations
The protesting citizens also claimed that when they approached to follow up on the case status, they did not receive a clear response and were merely told that the case is under review. Meanwhile, they have leveled accusations against some judicial and law enforcement officials. These claims have not yet been officially confirmed or denied by the prosecutor's office or other responsible authorities, and providing explanations by the relevant authorities seems necessary to clarify the matter.
