PDKI presse release on the recent unrest and crack-down in Mahabad
On
July 13, 2005, and on the 16th anniversary of the assassination of Dr.
Ghassemloo, the former General Secretary of Democratic Party of
Iranian Kurdistan and his colleagues in Vienna, capital of Austria, by
a gang of terrorists of the Islamic Republic, the people of Kurdistan,
once again and in different ways, condemned this savage action of the
regime demonstrating their disgust throughout Kurdistan.
The valiant people of Mahabad, particularly the young stratum of the
town, from July 9th on, held a set of demonstration in
different parts of the town in which thousands of people participated
from 9 p.m. up till midnight, vehemently declaring their support in
favor of P.D.K.I.. They also raised slogan against the regime
attacking their tyrannical forces and hurled stones at them.
Subsequently, all shops and stores of the town were closed ,with the
regime deploying thousands of their repressive forces across the town.
So
far, Kamal Asfarram, son of Ghadder , nicknamed Showanneh, who was one
of the activists holing the demonstrations against the regime, was
shot by the forces on July 9th and taken to “Ammaken” –
rather than to a hospital – where he was brutally tortured and killed.
Besides, a great number of demonstrators have been arrested and jailed
as well.
