For the past eight days, the city of Mahabad, dominated by Kurdish ethnic groups, was the scene of bloody clashes between defiant freedom-demanding demonstrators and the Islamic Security Forces. Martial Law has been virtually declared in this city. Hundreds of young residents have been arrested and many have been tortured.
Today, 23 July two severely wounded youth have been transferred to the public hospital where they are under intense care. Much of the public have closed businesses and gathered in protest in front of the city's prison.
Last week in the city of Mahabad, a Kurdish-Iranian named Shovaneh Qaderi was detained by plainclothes affiliates of the regime. He later died due to severe beatings and torture.
The International Alliance of Iranian Students condemns this violent attack against the Kurdish ethnic groups, and stands by the Kurdish people of Iran for the establishment of a secular and democratic government in Iran based on popular vote and human rights.
