Anti-Regime Clashes in the Province of Kurdistan, in Iran

United Kurdish Revolutionaries reported on the month-long clashes between the brave people of Kurdistan and the regime's ruthless mercenaries, in towns such as Mahabad, Peeraanshahr, Baaneh, Mareevaan and Sardasht.

The brutal murder of the young Kurdish man, Shuana Kardi, an activist, at the hands of the Mullah regime's goons, sparked feverish riots against the disciplinary forces, strategically disbursed throughout the province. The protestors who were armed with rocks fought back against the regime's forces. The regime has also imported many more regiments from neighboring provinces in order to squelch the further spread of these riots.

In the midst of the clashes, the revolutionary guards shot a young man, Hossein Balaii. The representatives of the regime ordered the Balaii family to bury the young man at night in secrecy and to forgo any funeral or memorial service. Upon the news of the Balaii family's loss, the outraged townspeople closed their shops and left their offices (to see the photos) and took to the street, in the early evening, with torches, chanting anti-regime slogans. Some gathered at the regime's central command office and others at the cemetery to lend their support to the family of yet another lost youth.

The regime's goon squad, however, in their usual form, reacted by releasing tear gas and then shooting into the crowd as well as attacking protestors with nightsticks.
