| Akam Talaj |
Akam Talaj, 26-year-old Kurdish student and one of those wounded during
the May 7 uprising of people of Mahabad, died on Monday, June 29, due to the
severity of his wounds after much suffering.
He was from the city of Naqadeh and a student of Mahabad’s Free University.
He was directly shotby revolutionary guards and hit by 40 pellets in the hand
and stomach. He suffered internal bleeding and was hospitalized in the ICU
section of a hospital in Urmia because of his critical condition.
Following the martyrdom of Mr. Talaj, the henchmen refused to hand over
his body to his family fearing popular wrath. They exerted a lot of pressure on
his family to bury Mr. Talaj in “Shaheedan” section of the cemetery reserved
for Iranian regime’s dead, but this request by the regime met the severe
reaction of Mr. Talaj’s family. Ultimately, the body was then buried in Mahabad
amid strict security provisions.
