IRAN- MAHABAD- Iranian Demonstrations Heat Up In Kurdish Cities, Met With Military Violence

Iran regime crackdowns on protesters demanding justice for Farinaz Khosravani

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.
