"...The first, which will be called the Ahvaz unrest, took place in the south-western Iranian province of Khuzestan, which borders Iraq, and in particular in the regional capital of Ahvaz..."〕 or 15 April Ahvaz Protests〔 "On 15 April, protests in Ahwaz followed the publication of a letter..."〕 were violent riots, initiated by Iranian Arabs in the city of Ahvaz in southwestern Iranian province of Khuzestan. The unrest erupted on 15 April 2005, and lasted for 4 days. Initially, the Iranian Interior Ministry stated that only one person had been killed, however an official at a hospital in Ahvaz said that between 15 and 20 mortal casualties.〔 Government officials blamed the unrest on Britain, whose troops based just across the border in southern Iraq.〔 Following the unrest, several bombings were carried out in Ahvaz, killing 28 people. In 2006, Iran executed five Arab separatists, convicted of carrying out the bombings in 2005. ==Background== (詳細はPersian Gulf coastline.〔Nikki R.
