Since Kurdistan has been divided, its occupiers (Turkey, Syria, Iraq and especially Iran) have always tried to utilize various vicious policies to overcome the Kurdish parties who seek the achievement of Kurdish rights.
This time Iranian regime endeavours to illustrate PJAK as a dreadful feature. Accordingly, two girls in Kozakeraz, a village in East of Kurdistan between cities of Mahabad and Urmia, had been vanished for a while. After a short period they were back to their village and it was revealed that they were raped.
According to Rojhalat news website, Iranian authorities fabricated a rumour by announcing that Kurdish guerrillas had kidnapped these girls then they have returned them.
This is not the first time that the Iranian regime fabricates rumours about Kurdish resistance movement to distance PJAK (Free Life Party of Kurdistan) from the Kurdish people in East of Kurdistan. By doing so they would also intend to defame and blacken PJAK from the public opinion and thus the Kurdish youngsters would hesitate to join PJAK.
The Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK) 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.
