Kolbar Basir Ahmadzadeh, who was shot by the Nowsud border regiment on 14 June, has lost his life five days later due to the severity of his injuries.
Iranian border guards had opened fire on a group of kolbars on 14 June in Nowsud border areas in Kermanshah, injuring Basir Ahmadzadeh and his brother Bashir Ahmadzadeh.
Basir Ahmadzadeh, who comes from the village of Desheh in Paveh, Kermanshah province, has lost his life at Taleghani Hospital in Kermanshah, sources told the Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN).
Confirming the kolbar’s death in an interview with the KHRN, a source from Paveh said the Nowsud border regiment had shot the two brothers “from a distance of several metres”.
Basir Ahmadzadeh, who had gone into a coma due to a bullet wound to his head, died on 18 June due to severe injuries, said the source.
The administration of the forensic department of Kermanshah has refused to deliver the body of the kolbar to his family on the order of security institutions, the source added.
Basir Ahmadzadeh was 27 years old and had a diploma in electronics. He was married for two months, and due to unemployment and out of desperation, he had been working as a kolbar in the border areas of Nowsud.
