still unknown. They terrorise families, destroy their property and confiscate their mobile phones. Thus, leaving people without any means to report or document the human rights violations. Over the last two weeks alone, many Kurdish towns have witnessed their electricity, water and internet being cut off. Reports state poisoning of the water and food reserves. Recent reports have mentioned the use of neurotoxic gases, which is caused by the lack of medical supplies in the region. Hospitals are being blocked by soldiers. Corpses are being abducted and families are not permitted to organise funeral services for their loved ones. This systematic targeting of the Kurdish people includes the bombing of the Iranian Kurdish opposition parties and their neighbouring camps located out with Iran on the other side of the Iranian border. Again, targeting innocent civilians. Schools and hospitals are also being bombed. A recent CNN report revealed absolutely horrible witness statements which illustrated how the Iranian security forces regularly use rape, sexual abuse and torture to repress the protests. The report also states that most of the reports of sexual violence investigated by CNN, since the start of the protests which were triggered by Amini’s death, came from the Western part of the country where large sections of the region are predominantly Kurdish. Therefore, what is happening in Iranian Kurdistan, dear President, ladies and gentlemen, is rising to genocide level. Thank you for your attention! 2
