EAST KURDISTAN, — The systematic attacks against Kurdish Kolbers (back carriers) and tradesmen in border areas of Eastern Kurdistan are continuing by Iranian security forces. On 2th January Iranian security forces attacked Kurdish Kolbers around the city of Serdesht, and killed 100 of their Mules and seized their goods.
