| Brief narrative | Persianisation has involved the confiscation of Arab land and the forced displacement of\r\nhundreds of thousands of Ahwazi Arabs. The Persianisation programme involves the\r\nconfiscation of Arab-owned land and “ethnic restructuring”, which typically involves the\r\nforced migration of Arabs out of Khuzestan and their replacement with “loyal” ethnic\r\ngroups, particularly ethnic Persians. Some Ahwazis are relocated to other parts of Iran,\r\nwhile many are forced from their farms into city slums. However, slums have also been\r\nthe target of land confiscation, with the regime attacking and destroying Ahwazi homes.\r\nSlums are also being turned into ghettoes, with separation walls to segregate indigenous\r\nArabs from non-indigenous and privileged migrants. | ||||||||
