Seems like it was yesterday when the Amnesty International highlighted human rights in Iran have “remained a low” priority despite earlier promises made during the presidential campaign of Rouhani, furthermore Iran’s prisons remain full of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, many of whom suffer from lack of adequate medical care. The Islamic Regime of Iran quickly gallops his horse in the international arena, and nobody can stop him.
This figure is more terrible in the Kurdistan region. Iranian regime always has been labelled Kurds as “separatist” and has suffocate any dissenting voices in the country so that in recent years has been denied Kurdish people from the cultural and political participation in their affairs.
Yusif Awxiraban, Wahid Seyidi and Mohemmed Mewlanayi members of Mehabad Coordination Committee were taken into custody after going to court. Campaign in Defence of Civil and Political Prisoners quoted from Coordination Committee of Trade Unions.
It is worth mentioning that the three labour activists were arrested in city of Mehabad in January 2013.
These three members of the Coordination Committee of the Mehabad were sentenced to five years imprisonment in total by the Revolutionary Court of Mehabad in September 2013.

The extrajudicial measure of Iran’s security forces has become a legitimate and normal after the release of prisoners so where are exposed to various threats and pressures the prisoners and their families as well.
Although in the last 4 month some of the political prisoners were released from prison once Rouhani came to power, the Kurdish political prisoners were excluded from the amnesty. Contrary to Mr Rouhani’s election campaign slogans discriminatory policies still systematically implemented by his government and since his government came to power dozens of Kurds has been arrested.
International circles of human rights are concerned about the new wave of arrest of political activists and journalists in Iran and Rojhelat (East Kurdistan).
