This report is not a complete report due to the Iranian government’s disallowance of human rights organizations and groups, and only depicts a part of human rights violations in Kurdistan.
By detaining Kurdish citizens, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has violated the civil, political and social rights of the Kurdish people and continues this policy. Violation of freedom of opinion and expression, violation of the right to life and personal security, and government discrimination are things that are done daily by the Iranian government.
