Baneh, Iranian Kurdistan, -- The Iranian
Islamic revolutionary guards (also known as the
Pasdaran) or SSF opened fire on a car at the entry
point to the Kurdish city of Baneh in the Iranian
Kurdistan on Sunday, killing three Kurds and
wounding another one seriously.
Baneh city is located in Iranian Kurdistan near the
border with Iraqi autonomous region of Kurdistan.
Outraged by the heinous crime, the local residents
took to the streets in protest and clashed with the
suppressive forces.
The SSF attacked the angry crowd wounding a number
of local Kurdish residents and arresting many
others. In defiance, the demonstrators torched the
SSF station.
Fearing the spread of protest the regime called in
reinforcements from nearby towns. The clashes and
unrest continued until late evening.
