In Iran, a bakery window reads: “No bread for Afghans!”But it’s not just bread that’s being denied
That sentence is a scar on the forehead of humanity.

If only we understood that no one should ever go hungry because of their homeland, language, or passport.
Denying food to a human being based on their nationality is not just oppression — it is a crime against human conscience.
This is an eternal shame.
No to racism.
No to discrimination.
No to systems that trample on human dignity.
Know this:
God’s justice may be silent, but it is painful.
And these days will be recorded in history.
Relevant Human Rights Laws:
At the global level, such actions are in direct violation of fundamental human rights. Here are a few important articles from international declarations:
1. Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) – Article 1
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
2. Article 2
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, birth or other status.
3. International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1965) – Article 5
States undertake to prohibit and eliminate racial discrimination in all its forms and to guarantee the right of everyone, without distinction, to equality before the law in the enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
4. International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966) – Article 11
Everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living for themselves and their family, including adequate food, clothing, and housing, and to the continuous improvement of living conditions.
