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.
