On Monday, the 1st of October, another Kurdish Kolbar, Akram Khalili, 27, from Kooran village, located in Soma Beradost region in the city of Urmia, was shot dead by the Iranian military forces.

Akram Khalili was shot without receiving any previous warning from Iranian military forces.

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 more often lose their lives due to different reasons such as being shot dead by the Iranian military forces, frostbite or landmine explosion.
