ANF, TEHRAN — Iranian state forces have killed two Kurds and sentenced four others to death in the last one week.
A Kurdish citizen, Fazil Fettahi, was tortured to death after he was taken into custody by security forces in Tehran a couple of days ago. The Municipality of Tehran buried the Kurdish man without informing his family about the incident.
According to the Kurdistan Press Agency Kurdpa, Iranian authorities informed Fettahi’s family, in the Pawe city in eastern Kurdistan, after his death.
One other Kurdish civilian was killed by Revolutionary Guards in the city of Selmas on Monday. According to the reports received from the region, 35 year old Semend Cihangir was driving from Selmas to Kabik village when he was stopped at a control point and killed without any warning by Revolutionary Guards.
The body of Cihangir, who was reportedly killed for allegedly being involved in smuggling, is still being held by security forces.
Local people in Selmas say that security forces who have recently put up control points around the village have increased the repression against the people in the region.
Security forces of the Iranian regime have killed six Kurdish citizens and wounded five others for alleged smuggled activities since early August.
On the other hand, Tehran Revolutionary Courts have sentenced four Kurds to death. The people sentenced to die are Hamid Ehmedi, Cemşid Dehqani, Cihangir Dehqanî and Kemal Melayi from Selmas city.
