Kurdish teenager sentenced to death
An Iranian court sentenced Hedayat Niroumand, a 15 year old Kurdish boy, to
death. The boy is accused of killing his father. The verdict will be implemented
when Niroumand has turned 18.
Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan is deeply concerned about the ongoing
brutal violence and acts of state terrorism against the Kurdish people in
Iranian Kurdistan.
We call upon the International Community and Human Rights Organizations such as
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to pay attention to and condemn the
Islamic Republic’s policies and campaigns of racist violence in Kurdistan.
