The military forces shot at him without have given previous warnings, a reliable source told our reporter.
In another incident, a Kurdish Kolbar, Hooshiar Namami, from Salas Bawajani (Salas Babajani), died of gunshot wounds caused by direct shots of Iranian military forces on Saturday, the 3rd of November.

In the same incident, two other Kurdish Kolbars, Broomand Bahrami and Arkan Bahrami were killed and injured respectively.
Kolbari (carrying goods on their backs from the Iraqi Kurdistan to the Iranian Kurdistan) in order to make a living is a dangerous job. The economic crisis in the Kurdish provinces of Iran, especially in the border regions, is one of the main causes of taking up this job by people.
Kurdish Kolbars who have to take up this job to earn a living often lose their lives due to different reasons such as being shot dead by the Iranian military forces, frostbite or landmine explosion.
