SINE, — Twenty seventh August 1979 witnessed another criminal act of the Iranian regime in East Kurdistan, executing 11 Kurdish youths in the firing squad.
Eleven youths were executed at the backyard of Sine Airport one of whom was an ailing man and half-unconscious who was carried on to the firing squad on the stretcher and bullet riddled while he was lying on the stretcher.
When Khomeyni s fundamental group diverted the Iranian revolution and established an Islamic Republic in 1979, he ordered a religious decree (Jihad) against the Kurdish people in East Kurdistan.
Following Khomeyni s Jihad against the Kurds, thousands of Iranian Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) attacked Kurdistan to clear it from what Khomeyni branded as “the mischievous of earth”.
Bani Sadr the then Prime Minster ordered the Revolution Guards, not to loosen their boots until Kurdistan is entirely conquered.
The newly born regime which had promised to solve the problems of Iranian peoples, set out to quell democratic demands of Kurdish people with state terror and violence.
In the first seven months of the Islamic Revolution and amid the slaughter in Kurdistan, more than 500 Kurdish people were massacred.
An image of an execution of eleven Kurdish political activists, particularly the one on the stretcher, was widely ignored by the international community.
The eleven activists are named as follow: Muzefer Niyazmend, Sirus Menuchehri, Isa Piroli, Nasir Selimi, Ebdulla Fuwadi, Ehsn Nahid, Shehbaz Nahid, Esxer Mubseri, Muzefer Rehimi, Cemil Yexchalchi and Eta Zendi.
