In August 1973 he was
arrested with a group of leaders from his Party
because of his rejection of the Arab belt in al-Hassaka,www.ekurd.net
and he stayed in prison
for eight years until 1981, in solitary confinement
and subjected to torture.
After he came out of
prison, although he had left the Party he would
still advise the Party. After the martyr and General

into this role again despite his absence from the
conference through illness.
Mr. Mohammed Nazir Mustafa was the first Kurd to
qualify as a lawyer from university,www.ekurd.net
