The headquarters of the Hamza Seyyid Alshohada Base published a notice and claimed that the two Kurdish citizens had been killed by four members of one of the Kurdish parties. Then the IRGC forces have identified and killed the aforementioned four members of the Kurdish Party as the murderers of two local citizens and killed them in a clash.
Several Kurdish citizens of Maku and Chalderan have previously told KHRN that the above scenario to cover up the murder of these two citizens was created by IRGC who delivered the dead bodies to their families a day after their death in order to prevent the protest of local people. The bullets in the dead bodies of the two citizens clearly belong to the IRGC. These bullets have been removed from the forensic records by the Intelligence Department of IRGC.
