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.
