Maryam Rajavi , the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, who is living in exile in Paris, said in a statement she supported the demonstrations. The NCRI is a constituent of an umbrella opposition group that includes five political organizations.
The Mahabad protests inspired Kurds living in Iraq, Syria and Turkey to demonstrate themselves. Kurds across the three countries marched in their respective cities, holding signs with the phrase 'JusticeForFarinaz':
Despite the violence in Mahabad, the Iranian government has not issued a public statement on the situation, but religious hardliners in the country have denounced the protests. The radio silence in Tehran appears indicative of a larger struggle taking place between the ruling establishment.

IRAN- Political prisoner wounded due to severe beating

| Ali Moezi |
Political prisoner Ali Moezi
was summoned to court on Monday, May 4 at around 7 am. However, he refused to
appear in court protesting its legitimacy.
After some time a major of the
Revolutionary Guards, along with around 5 others, attacked this old political
prisoner and literally banged his head to the metal bars of his cell. His
forehead was severely wounded as a result and led to severe bleeding. They
viciously cuffed his hands and feet, dragged him on the ground and threw him
into a vehicle with which they took him to branch 1 of the Karaj court (west of
Tehran) chaired by Asef Hosseini.
The branch court judge began
threatening, insulting and harassing the political prisoner despite his severe
bleeding from the forehead.
Finally, they returned him to
Karaj Central Prison and showed him the illegal new sentencing of another year
in prison.
Mr. Moezi refused to sign and
told them to give a copy of the sentencing to his lawyer and family, and get a
signature from them.
Political prisoner Ali Moezi is suffering from
prostate cancer, kidney problems and other illnesses. He was arrested while
receiving treatment for cancer and from then on he has been deprived of any
serious medical care.

IRAN- Women’s death incites anti-government protest in Kurdish city

A young woman’s suicide in Mahabad incited public fury
and led to anti-government clashes on Thursday, May 7, with people setting fire
to the city’s five-star Tara Hotel.
Infuriated youth chanted, “We are Farinaz” referring to
the young woman who threw herself off the fourth floor of the hotel to avoid
being exploited by a government intelligence agent upon the permission of the
hotel owner.
The hotel’s owner promised the intelligence officer to arrange
settings for him to have intimate relations with Farinaz Khosravani in exchange
for registration of an additional star promoting the hotel’s ranking.
However, Farinaz did not allow such assault on herself
and threw herself off the window in self-defense.
The people of Mahabad have called for another protest on
Friday, May 9.
The incident is a reminder of the October 25, 2014,
hanging execution in Tehran of Rayhaneh Jabbai, the 26-year-old woman, who
stabbed an intelligence officer in self-defense at the age of 19 and refused to
cooperate with the regime in whitewashing the crimes of the Intelligence Ministry
top agent.
