HEWLER, South Kurdistan, — Hundreds of protestors have launched a demonstration in front of Iran’s Consulate in Hewler on Tuesday, condemning the continued Iranian bombardment of the border villages in South Kurdistan, criticizing the Iraqi government’s silence towards violations against human rights.
About 400 civil activists have demonstrated in front of the Iranian Consulate in Hewler, demanding an immediate stop to the Iranian bombardment of Kurdistan’s border areas.
They demand that the Federal government in Baghdad interfere to put an end to such violations.
An activist Surour Mohammed said that the demonstrators have also “criticized the silence of Baghdad’s government up until now, and its failure to announce any official position towards the Iranian bombardment.”
“The aggressive act is a violation of human rights, international resolutions and an undermining of Iraq’s sovereignty,” Surour noted
