KNC Statement of Support for Kurdish Demonstrations in Iran

07-07-2003 Source: Kurdish Media Last Sunday, June 22, 2003, Iranian security forces occupied the University of Kurdistan in Sena (Sanandaj).

Over the past several weeks, a popular uprising against the brutal clerics regime in Iran has swept through the country. The Kurds, along with other groups, are active participants in the uprisings which ostensibly started as student demonstrations, but quickly attracted people from all walks of life—all united in their opposition to the clerics in power.

The Kurdish people in Iran have opposed the current government from its inception. In a referendum held soon after the 1979 revolution, the people of Sena opposed the Islamic government. Protestors filled the streets carrying huge banners saying “Na” (no) to the creation of an Islamic regime.

For this they paid dearly. Just two months after the revolution, the Iranian army was mobilized against the Kurdish cities and countryside, and the army murdered thousands of Kurds during the armed conflict of the early years of the Islamic Republic. Additionally, zealous religious judges such as Khalkhali handed out scores of summary death sentences against the peaceful and innocent populace.
