PDKI: The increasing crackdown on Kurds of Iran by the regime of Islamic Republic

Within the first three months of 2008, 136 Kurds have been killed, imprisoned, or disappeared in Iranian Kurdistan

Since the start of the year 2008, 2 Kurds are reportedly executed, 3 sentenced to death and 7 are randomly killed by the security forces of the regime of Islamic Republic, among the killed a 17 years old teenager.
The Islamic republic of Iran has increased its oppression against the Kurds in Iran. Human rights violation against the Kurds in Iran has been part of the clerical regime tyrannical culture during the last three decades. Since the installment of Mahmoud Ahmadi Nejad as the regime’s president in 2005, the violation of human rights in Iranian Kurdistan has escalated to a new level.
Within the last 3 months, at least 43 people are detained for unknown reasons, 3 people are sentenced to death, 2 are executed, 7 people are randomly killed, among them a 17 years old teenager, 3 injured, and at least 26 people are questioned; furthermore, 16 students are questioned by the university discipline council. Overall 23 people sentenced to prison, whose verdicts are between 6 months to lifetime. Two people have been sent to exile, 11 people are condemned to various lashes and 20 million IR (2000 euro) penalties. In last three months a Kurdish NGO was closed down by the security forces and 2 Kurdish weeklies were closed down by the clerical regime.
Unfortunately, Iran’s defiance to the international community especially in regards to its nuclear program has shifted the attention of the world community from the increasing violation of human and national rights of Kurdish people in Iran and other parts of Iran. Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan calls upon the international community to pay more attention to the ongoing violation of human rights in Iranian Kurdistan and all of Iran.
