The regime's military and disciplinary forces attacked and beat the residents of the town of Mahaabad during their observance of Eid Fetr ceremonies (Feast of Salvation celebrated on the last day of the month of Ramadan). These clashes lasted 12 hours during which the IRI forces using guns and rifles randomly shot at locals.

The Organization for the defense of Human Rights in Kurdistan reports that early on Thursday morning, Nov. 3rd according to local tradition of Eid Fetr, the residents of Mahaabad attended the area cemetery to sit by the graves of their loved ones following which a large crowd gathered to visit the grave of the brave young Kurdish activist, Shuana Ghadri who was brutally murdered earlier this summer. A few of the locals attending the ceremony who asked for the release of the young prisoner, Mustafa Rasoulnia, were met with hostility from the members of the disciplinary forces who had followed the locals to the cemetery as crowd control; the situation quickly turned violent with the military and disciplinary forces attacking, severely beating and arresting the locals.

So far there is no definite information on the number of injured and arrested.
