Tehran, Jan. 05
A young man was killed by agents of Iran’s State Security Forces (SSF) in
the town of Sanandaj (western province of Kurdistan)
after he came to the aid of a young woman being
assaulted by the SSF agents earlier this week.
The young man only identified by his first name
Afshin reportedly attempted to defend the young
woman and pushed back the security forces allowing
her to escape. He then ran away since the agents
were armed.
Witnesses have said that agents pursued and caught
up with Afshin in Cyrus Street and rather than
arresting him, shot him at point-blank. He is said
to have been pronounced dead at hospital.
Iranian authorities have officially announced 109
incidents were SSF agents have fatally shot citizens
at point blank throughout the past year alone. The
actual figure is believed to be much higher.
