NEWSDESK, Nov 10 - The campaign 'Abdullah Ocalan
is my political volition' started by the Kurdish
resistance movement PJAK has attracted tens of
thousands of signatures by Kurds in Urmiye,
Kermanshah, Meriwan, Selmas, Mahabad and many other
cities. The popularity of the campaign and the
organization who carries it out has worried the
Iranian regime. The regime is now threatening to
brand anybody who signs the petition as PJAK members
and punish them as such.
In a bid to stop the spreading sympathy for PJAK,
the Iranian soldiers are forcing families of
guerrillas joining the PJAK to sign papers saying
that PJAK has kidnapped their children. They are
also claiming that PJAK is by force demanding people
to sign the campaign petition.
'KONGRA-GEL is the main threat in Kurdistan'
The Iranian regime branded Kurdistan's People's
Congress (KONGRA-GEL) and its member organization
PJAK, as the main threat to the regime in eastern
Kurdistan (northwestern Iran). Iranian state
officials called out to regime-friendly Kurdish
clans in the city of Mahabad to send their sons to
join the 'Besic' (Islamic Fedayeen) forces to fight
the PJAK guerrillas. The Kurdish satellite channel 'ROJ
TV' was singled out as the main media threat.
'PJAK youth demonstrated in Dêwander'
About 100 youth activists from PJAK carried out a
demonstration in the city of Dêwander on November 7
giving out thousands of leaflets, CDs and photos of
the Kurdish national leader Abdullah Ocalan. The
PJAK activists were also asking the citizens to not
join the 'Besic' forces set up by the Iranian regime
to crack down on dissident and resistance movements
such as the Kurdish PJAK.
'290 protests in Iran in October'
290 protests were carried out by different ethnic
groups in Iran in October. 51 of them occurred in
Kurdistan, the majority carried out by PJAK
activists. 458 political activists were arrested by
the Iranian regime.
