During the past several days, a number of civil and cultural activists had announced that they would hold a gathering on Thursday, September 06 in protest to the killing of Kulbers in front of the governor’s office in Kermanshah.
It is worth mentioning that Iranian disciplinary forces (NAJA) shot two Kolbars in the head and killed them in the Border area of Hnegezhal of Baneh on Monday morning, September 04. The concerned Kulbers were called Ghader Bahrami (41 from the village of Wazmalah, married with four children) and Heydar Faraji (21 from the village of Shesheh in Baneh and single). The two Kolbars were not carrying goods.
In recent days, at least 28 civil activists and citizens have been arrested by Disciplinary and security forces in Baneh, Sanandaj and Kermanshah. Yesterday, three of these civilian activists from Sanandaj called Sohrab Jalali, Mozaffar Salehnia and Khalid Hosseini were released after a few hours of detention.
