MIHABAD, East Kurdistan, — The Kurdish history is full of tragic events. The massacre of the 2nd June 1983 will not be erased from the memories of the Kurds.
Iranian totalitarian regime executed 832 Kurdish political activists by firing squad following the takeover of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979.
In one occasion the Iranian Revolutionary Guards mass murdered 59 Kurdish youths in the city of Mihabad on 2nd June 1983.
These 59 youths were arrested upon an order released by Hemid Reza Celaypur, the then Mihabad’s mayor, and they were transferred to Tabriz detention.
Most of these youths were under the age of 30 and some of them even fewer than 18. They were all massacred by firing squad.
Besides being Kurds, these 59 youths had not committed any crime and nothing was proved of them. But in a secret and revolutionary court which even violated the Iranian Islamic laws, they were sentenced to death.
The Iranian regime is working to black list the Kurdish resistance movement led by Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), but this the Kurds who have been subjected to the state-terror of Iranian Mullah Regime.
The Kurdish history is piled with the events of mass massacre, destruction and genocides. The mass execution of 1983 is just a snap shot of what happened to the Kurds.
