Number 18th
bulletin of Komala
Popular protests of the residents
of Kamyaran and Sanandaj continues
Kamyaran: Tonight
from 10:30 PM the city of Kamyaran was the scene of a big and
widespread popular protest against the recent wave of repression and
suppression in Kurdistan. The regime’s security forces rushed to the
scene and attempted to attack the demonstrators and a number of
clashes between the forces and people ensued. As a result of the
subsequent clashes between regime’s forces and protestors two banks,
National and Farmer banks, sustained heavy damages. The regime has
announced martial law for the city. Yet sporadic demonstrations and
chanting anti-regime slogans is continuing. The regime has brought
Special Forces from Kermashan to Kamyaran. Today is the second day
of widespread protests in the city.
Sanandaj: Last
night and today the city of Sanandaj, in the neighborhoods of Gafoor
and Sahrif-Awa, was the scene of localized demonstrations in protest
against militarization of the city and arresting and harassing of
the city residents. Also today a huge number of people participated
in the funeral of Zanyar Ashyani who was killed in the recent
clashes with the regime forces. His family was able to retrieve his
body after paying a hundred thousand Toman ($130.00, months worth of
hard work) to the regime forces. In all of these demonstrations the
participants insisted their demands of freeing all the arrested,
bringing to justice to perpetrators of the recent attacks, … to be
met.
Popular unrests in these cities indicate the continuation of the new
struggle for freedom and democracy in Kurdistan. Komala, as always,
does its best to expand and actively participate in organizing the
struggle until the demands of this wave of struggle is met.
