Kurdish Defence Forces clashed with Iranian Army

The Defence Regions of Medya- Qendil Mountains: The Eastern Kurdistan Defence Forces (HRK) declared in a statement that their forces have clashed with the Iranian Military Forces in the last week.

According to the statement the HRK forces attacked an Iranian military spot located in Lon village in Kamyaran areas on 25th May and they killed 3 Iranian revolutionary guards

In the same day on 25th May the local collaborators set an ambush to HRK forces but the HRK forces shifted the ambush back on the collaborators and tried to arrest the collaborators. The collaborators defied to HRK forces and as the result of that shooting began and 2 collaborators were killed.

 

It should be noted that HRK has carried out a range of military operations in response to the war that the Iranian regime declared on the Kurds by executing 5 Kurdish civil activists as well as poisoning 5 Kurdish freedom fighters in Dalaho Mountains.

 

HRK is the defensive military wing of the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), which was founded in 2004 as the result of the systematic and continuous oppression of the Kurdish nation by the Iranian government. PJAK upholds the libertarian ideology of Apoism which advocates an ecological-democratic society with gender equality. PJAK’s main goal is to democratise Iranian system and to create a democratic con-federation for the long- oppressed Kurds.

Its initial objective is to limit and change the authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran and to democratise it in four fundamental areas; the nation, society, citizenship and to evolve the state into a self-governing institution able to deliver public services and to maintain public security.

For the past 6 years PJAK has been the most influential organisation of the Kurdish population in the Eastern Kurdistan and has the strongest popular support in this part of the Kurdistan. Three particular dynamics forces namely women, students and the youths have been increasingly joining PJAK with the aims of transforming their society. Women constitute more than 48% PJAK’s membership from the bottom to the leadership of the organisation.
