Kurdpa Agency: Iran regime forces opened fire on a Kurdish merchant between Naghada and Shno.

Based on reports received by Kurdistan Press Agency (Kurdpa), on Tuesday May 15, Iran regime forces opened fire on a Kurdish merchant who was travelling on the Naghada-Shno road.

According to an informed source, the Iran regime forces opened fire on this Kurdish merchant on “suspicions of smuggling of goods.” The source further added that following the shooting, the Kurdish merchant fearing his life fled the scene of the incident.

The identity of the Kurdish merchant until the timing of this report remains unknown to Kurdpa.

The Iran regime forces have in the recent years increased their ongoing violence and oppression against Kurdish merchants and Kulbars. The regime forces further continue to open fire on the merchants without proper warning. The preparators too often end up walking free without facing any justice.
