Shanaz Cemetery in Saqez; Security forces tell the families of the victims of the Ukrainian plane, "They are dead, you have no right to put up posters and speakers"

On the fourth anniversary of the killing of the passengers of the Ukrainian plane, on January 8, 2024, the families of Rozhgar Rahimi, who were present at the grave of their child in the "Shanaz" cemetery in Saqez, were severely insulted and disrespected by the security agencies.

According to an informed source to Kurdpa, the security agencies had besieged the entire cemetery beforehand and the forces were stationed. When the Rahimi family arrived at the cemetery at 2 p.m., the plainclothes forces insulted and disrespected the family, saying things like "They are dead, you have no right to put up posters, you have no right to have speakers, you have no right to read anything except the Quran". They also insulted and disrespected all those present at the grave.

The informed source of Kurdpa regarding the deployment of security agencies in the "Shanaz" cemetery in Saqqez says that the cemetery was surrounded by white Samand cars with Sanandaj numbers and motorcycle forces. Inside the cemetery, plainclothes forces were also stationed on foot and there was even a female security officer among the attendees.

"Rozhgar Rahimi" from Saqqez, his wife "Farideh Gholami" from Islam Abad-e Gharb, and their 4-year-old child "Jiwan Rahimi" along with the fetus of Mrs. Gholami were one of the families killed in the downing of the Ukrainian plane four years ago.

The grave of "Rozhgar Rahimi" is located in the Shanaz cemetery in Saqqez, and also the grave of "Farideh Gholami" and their 4-year-old child "Jiwan Rahimi" are in Gilangharb because they were born in Kermanshah.

Farideh Gholami, a graduate with a bachelor's degree in industrial design, entered the Iran University of Science and Technology in 2002 and was a technician at an electricity company in Canada.

Farideh and Rozhgar migrated to Canada seven years ago with a scholarship that Rozhgar had received to continue their studies at the doctoral level.
