Kurdistan Press Agency: A Kurdish Kolbar (porter), from Bana (Baneh), was shot dead by direct shoots of the Iranian military forces in a border region in Piranshar (Piranshahr).

According to reliable sources, on Saturday, the first of September, a Kurdish Kolbar, Mahmood Ketabi, 24, from Bana was shot dead by direct shoots of the Iranian military forces in a border region in Piranshar.

The Iranian forces shot at him without any previous warning, our source reported.

Kolbari (carrying goods on their backs from the Iraqi Kurdistan to the Iranian Kurdistan) in order to make a living is a dangerous job.

Economic crisis in the Kurdish provinces of Iran especially in the border regions is one of the main causes of taking up the dangerous job by the people. Kurdish Kolbars who have to take up this job to earn a living more often lose their lives due to different reasons such as being shot dead by the Iranian military forces, frostbite or landmine explosion.
