Appeal
Dear
Compatriots!
Faithful
People of Kurdistan!
Honourable People of Sanandaj!
According to some reliable sources, the Islamic Republic authorities have changed the scheduled trip of Socialist International’s (SI) delegation to Iranian and Iraqi Kurdistan after they had been informed of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan’s (PDKI) first appeal, and they have re-organized the trip in a way that the said delegation will get to Tehran on June 17, and a day after, on June 18, they will be heading to Sanandaj, where they will be staying for two days, and they will afterwards leave the region for Iraqi Kurdistan.
We
are well aware that the effects of regime’s suppressions and crimes are
evident in every span of the land of Iranian Kurdistan, and especially the
city of Sanandaj still lives with a bleeding heart from the lethal attacks
of the destructive machineries of the so-called Islamic Soldiers; therefore,
now that the direction of the delegation of SI has been changed, it is the
duty of brave and devoted people of Sanandaj to
reach out to this delegation in a peaceful manner, and divulge the
regime’s crimes against the people of Kurdistan in general, and the people
of Sanandaj in particular.
It is necessary that a delegation from the people of Sanandaj should
attempt to meet with the members of the SI delegation. This delegation,
while clarifying the people of Kurdistan’s deprivation from the legitimate
rights and freedoms, should also try to explain to them that how the first
spring of freedom and in the Noruz of 1979, this heroic city became a
battlefield, and rains of fire poured on its defenseless inhabitants.
Let this international delegation be told from the ordinary people of
Sanandaj that in the second spring of Islamic Republic’s ruling, the city
of Sanandaj for the second consecutive time was targeted in a cruelly and
painful manner, and thousands of its inhabitants killed or wounded.
Let them be informed that the innocent people of Sanandaj did not
even find the opportunity to lay to rest their loved-ones, and many of the
mourning families had no choice but to construct small cemeteries in their
own back yards. Let them know
that Colonel Sadri, commander of garrison, claimed with such a pride that in
every hour 400 mortar-shells were fired onto the city that the quivers of
each battered about 200 meters of its surroundings.
The members of the delegate elected by the people of Sanandaj can
tell the SI delegate about the not-too-long crimes that were conducted by
the ruling tyrants against the civilian population.
It is essential to remind them that only two years ago and exactly
during the presidency of the so-called “reformist” Mr. Khatami and the
Kurdish-speaking Governor-general, how the quiet and peaceful demonstration
of your people in Sanandaj was repressed, and the corpses of many of them
laid on the ground with hundreds killed or injured, and how thousands of
them were sent to prison or they were forced to live behind their city, in
order to be relieved from the oppressive apparatuses of the regime.
Valiant
People of Sanandaj!
Do
not let the authorities to cover up the bitter and painful reality of
deprivation and repression of this oppressed nation by showing some and
pre-determined areas to the members of the SI delegation, and meeting some
of their hand-picked agents so as to portray a civilized image of this
so-called “divine justice” regime.
Unveil the covers of deceit and hypocrisy from the essence of this
regime and its agents, and display the fundamental nature of politics and
practices of the ruling elite to the guest delegation and world wide the way
it is.
