Dr. Amir Sharifi | Exclusive to iKurd.net
Dear President Biden and UN Secretary-General António Guterres:
I am writing to express my grave concern about the fate of the innocent and defenseless people in the Kurdish city of Mahabad in Iran. Our collective conscience is shocked by the depth of the brutality of the regime in Mahabad and throughout Iran.
Mahabad is now being singled out and indiscriminately attacked; multiple reports indicate that heavy fire is being used to terrorize and massacre defenseless people. Videos show women, men, and children screaming; there are explosive sounds, rumbling, and relentless gunfire. Mahabad like other Kurdish cities has been in the forefront of the struggle against the tyranny of the Islamic regime; hence, it should not be left alone as the regime imposes curfews on the city .
As a concerned citizen, I request your immediate actions to halt the genocidal campaign perpetrated against the inhabitants of the city. I hope that in recognizing the democratic and legitimate women’s uprising and general movement for the ouster of the Islamic Republic of Iran, you take prompt and needed actions to stop the regime from perpetrating this heinous crime. The world community should stop the brutal killing of hundreds of mostly young people, children, kidnapping and abduction of slain and wounded bodies, capturing tens of thousands and holding them as hostages for forceful confessions and executions.
I hope you use the power of your office to deter and halt the Islamic regime from such massacres, the regional threats it poses , political machinations it commits, and military operations it launches.
I thank you for your support and solidarity with the feminist uprising in Kurdish cities and throughout Iran.
Cordially,
Amir Sharifi
