Kurdistan Press Agency (Kurdpa): Two Kurdish Kolbars (porters), from the city of Sardasht, were wounded of direct shots from Iranian military forces.
According to reports received by our agency, in Friday evening, the 5th of October, Iranian military forces shot at a group of Kurdish Kolbars in outskirts of Dinaran village, located in Alan region in the city of Sardasht, leaving two Kurdish Kolbars wounded.
Kamal Ghaderyan, 28, and Omid Salehpour, 23, were severely injured in the incident.
Both Kamal and Omid were injured from the leg and transferred to a hospital in Sardasht.
On Wednesday, the 3rd of October, Iranian military forces shot at a group of Kurdish Kolbars in border regions of Nawsood, killed one of them, Azim Ahmadi, 42, son of Nouradin, from the village of Teahr, located in Nawsood district.
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.
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.
