No member of the PDKI have been arrested
The Islamic Republic of Iran falsely claims that its security forces have arrested three members of our party, the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, in the Kurdish cities of Sardasht and (Xane) Piranshar.
Our party has made it clear in a statement yesterday that none of our members have been arrested in Sardasht or Piranshar.
Our party has no information about the individuals that the Islamic Republic claims to have arrested, but note that the Islamic Republic wants to have a pretext to crack down on political activists in Kurdistan that are peacefully working for Kurdish rights, and by accusing individuals of membership in our party the regime gives itself the “legitimacy” to execute, torture and imprison peaceful activists.
Since Ayatollah Khomein declared holy war against the Kurdish people in 1979 and labelled our party as the party of Satan, arbitrary arrests, killings and executions have been part of peaceful political activists lives.
Sorry if I passed on incorrect information! Thank God this is not true.
Under my twitter-pseudonym Whiteph0sph0rus, I sincerely apologise to all affected by my wrongful tweeting of vile lies by Islamic Rebublic, to all Kurds.
I am usually careful to fully follow up before commenting.
I support your cause and am so sorry at the loss of your Peshmergas.
