(Tabriz News - Political Service) - "The Servants of Allah Hezbollah of Kurdistan" have issued a bulletin for the physical "elimination" of journalists, civil and human rights activists.

Journalists whose names have appeared in the bulletin have had old charges reinstated against them, however they are respectively free on $12,000 bail. Said journalists have requested that the individuals behind the issuance of this menacing bulletin be exposed as they are afraid for their lives and have said that though it is possibly futile, their only recourse is to bring charges against the individuals who issued such a bulletin, with the judiciary.

Reportedly, this is the second such bulletin; in this one, The Servants of Allah Hezbollah of Kurdistan have also called for the judiciary to meet the defiance of the publishers and editors of the already banned publication PAYAAMEH MARDOM'EH KURDISTAN (The message of the people of Kurdistan) with utmost force.
