The pressure of Iranian border troops against Kurdish Kolbers (back carriers) remains in Rojhelat (East Kurdistan) and tradespeople are threatened their lives by regime snipers.
Following the killing of Kurdish kolbers in Rojhelat was severely wounded from the back a Kurdish youth from Mergewer (Urmiye functions) by the direct firing from the Iranian troops, Newroz TV reported.
Sihan Mirxanpur son of Lezgin from Berasp (Silwane funtions) was injured on Friday by the border forces of Iran under the pretext of carrying contraband. Despite government forces to prevent her treatment, he was taken to the Urmiye Hospital at the insistence of local residents.
There is a very high unemployment in Kurdistan region as Kurds are not allowed to open their own factories and introducing new jobs. Lack of government investment and mismanagement in the development of these areas has created Kolberi phenomenon.
Also on Sunday other Kurdish Kolber Osman Xezriyan (33 years old and has two children) from Gole Ne (Piranshar functions) was shot and killed in village heights of Selwe by the Islamic Regime Border Regiment’s.
This hard life for thousands of Kurds owes in part to lack of investment by the government in the Kurdish areas, which some argue is politically motivated.
Earlier Mr Biglary MP for Seqqiz and Bane cities had criticized the new government policies in connection with Kurdish areas. “Government should take immediate steps toward the formalize border markets, cleaning land-mines in Kurdistan also use of the local labours for constructions and economic development to avoid turning people in Kulbari”.
In last report, UN Special Rapporteur on Iran Ahmed Shaheed highlighted the “indiscriminate killings of Kolbers in violation of the domestic laws and international obligations of Iran.”
Despite the inevitability of Kolbers to do this dangerous job Iranian official calls these people smugglers. They will use any excuse to slaughter civilians in Kurdistan for implementing its policies but human rights groups have taken no pressure on Iranian government.
