Photos of Kurdish man killed by security forces
in northwest Iran
Iran Focus
London, Jul. 14 – Iran Focus has obtained several before-and-after
photos of Shoan Qaderi, a young Iranian Kurd from the north-western
town of Mahabad, who was gunned down by State Security Forces and then
hung from the back of a Toyota jeep which was driven in nearby streets
on Sunday.
According to witnesses the act was carried out because Qaderi was
active in anti-government protests and authorities wanted to
intimidate the local population to prevent further demonstrations in
the volatile city.
Minutes after Qaderi’s body was dragged throughout the town, several
hundred angry residents gathered in nearby streets and started to
chant anti-government slogans.
