The report on human rights violations in November 2021 was compiled by the efforts of the Kurdistan Human Rights Association, citing reports compiled by this human rights organization. This report is not a complete report due to the lack of permission of the Iranian government to human rights organizations and groups and depicts only a part of human rights violations in Kurdistan.

The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran violates the civil, political and social rights of the Kurdish people by detaining Kurdish citizens, and has continued to do so. Violations of freedom of opinion and expression, violations of the right to life and personal security, and government discrimination are cases that are perpetrated daily by the Iranian government.

Execution

This month, the policy of executing compatriots has continued, so that one person has been executed in the provinces of Kurdistan.

Assassination and enforced disappearances

It should be noted that the assassination and murder of citizens by the Iranian government has continued. In this context, 4 citizens have been killed in a suspicious manner and under the torture of Iranian security agencies. .Also, direct fire was fired at a group of citizens, injuring 6 people.

The kolbers, as always, have been directly attacked by the Iranian armed forces. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is known as a terrorist movement, and the Iranian Border Guards this month also directly targeted the kolbers, killing 2 kolbers and wounding 11 others.
