Kurdpa Agency: Iran regime forces confiscated goods belonging to Kulbar and burnt them in the city of Piranshar.

According to a report received by the Kurdistan Press Agency (Kurdpa), Iran regime forces in Piranshar seized and burnt goods belonging to Kurdish Kulbar.

Kurds living on the borders much like the rest of the people in Kurdistan live under discriminatory policies of the Iran regime where they are forced to take up Kulbari (porter) and carry goods on their backs due to lack of job opportunities. Kulbari has as a result of economic infrastructure become the only source of income.

The regime entities deal with Kulbar and businessmen in Kurdistan under the heading \"Commodity Traffickers.” The people of Kurdistan, particularly those on the border regions have been forced to take up Kulbari, a high-risk job, due to lack of employment opportunities, increased poverty and lack of economic infrastructure in the region. If the price of the goods imported is less than one million Toman, then it is not considered a crime, whereas if its more than this, it is considered as a crime. The majority of the goods imported into the country by the Kulbar, which include household goods are less than this amount and yet Kulbars become victims of Iran regime forces assault and violence.
