Clashes between
protesters and security forces in Piranshahr
Hundreds of protesters
arrested, dozen injured
Several thousands of Kurdish people in the city of
Piranshahr (Iranian Kurdistan) protested against the
killing of Fayegh Rajabi a Kurdish toiler by
security forces of Iran.
Thousands of Kurdish people in the city of
Piranshahr in West Azerbayjan province of Iranian
Kurdistan protested the killing a Kurdish toiler by
security forces on Saturday, March 11 2006. Security
forces opened fire to prevent the spread of the
demonstration, which resulted in the injury of
dozens of protesters.
According to reliable news received from the city,
the conditions of some of the injured that have
hidden themselves from the security forces are
critical; furthermore, over 200 people are arrested
by the security forces.
Angry protesters put on fire several government
vehicles and stoned government buildings. The Ansar-al
Mojahed bank of government was set on fire by the
angry protesters.
Since Saturday, Piranshahr is in under Marshal Law.
Since July 2005 over 50 of Iranian Kurd have been
killed by the brutal special forces during numerous
demonstrations in the Kurdish cities of Iran.
So far, approximately two thousand people are
arrested and over 500 people are injured. The
security forces killed at least 10 Kurdish
demonstrators in the city of Maku on February 15th
2006.
The ongoing human rights violation in Iranian
Kurdistan is not sporadic nor is it as a result of
persistence of some officers, but it is the result
of systematic and programmed policy of the Islamic
Republic of Iran against Kurdish people and the
people of Iran in general.
PDKI urges the International community, EU, United
States and members of Security Council to pay
attention to the situation of Human rights in
Iranian Kurdistan and the ongoing economical,
political and military aggression against Kurdish
people in Iran. Condemning the violation of basic
human rights by the Iranian regime is a least
expectation of Kurdish people from International
community.
