Despite the extensive and brutal shelling of Kurdish villages for the last month, the Iranian Military Forces are reported to have been setting up military garrisons in Southern Kurdistan.
According to the local news reporters the Iranian Army are solidifying the positions they have captured in the last few weeks. To this, they have formed new military redoubts in the depth of Southern Kurdistan (Northern Iraq).
It should be pointed out that the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK) ended its unilateral ceasefire following the execution of 5 Kurds on 9th May and the poisoning of 5 PJAK’s guerrillas in Dalaho by the Iranian Republic of Execution.
Clashes have been erupted between the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and PJAK’s freedom fighters since the end of the ceasefire.
The Iranian Artilleries have been constantly shelling the Kurdish villages which have inflicted dangerious human and material losses.
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.
