Iran-Kurdistan, July 26 - A Kurdish
man was killed when Iranian soldiers opened fire on
demonstrators on July 25 in the city of Shino in
eastern Kurdistan (northwestern Iran), the Kurdish
news agency MHA reports.
A Kurd named Umer Emini was killed and tens of
people were wounded when Iranian soldiers tried to
stop the protest which started at 21:30 (9:30 pm
GMT+3:30) led by the Kurdish party PJAK in support
of the uprising in Mahabad. An unknown number of
people were arrested.
The uprising in Mahabad started after news that
Iranian soldiers had on July 9 brutally killed the
young Kurdish activist Shivane Qadri in the district
of Pisttep in Mahabad. It escalated when grotesque
pictures of Qadri's tortured body was published by
Kurdish news agencies. Two Iranian soldiers were
killed during the protests.
Protests are still raging on in eastern Kurdistan.
