Iranisches Regime stellt kurdischer Stadt das Wasser ab

Ein weiter Tag im Iran mit verschiedenen Protesten. Heute stand vor allem die Stadt Sanandaj im Fokus, wo tausende trotz Drohungen und Repressionen auf die Straße gingen, wie etwa auf diesem Video zu sehen ist:

Dabei ist das Internet seit Wochen de facto abgeschaltet und es fällt Iranerinnen und Iranern schwer, neueste Beiträge in sozialen Medien zu teilen.

Als Reaktion soll das Regime nun die Wasserversorgung in Sanandaj abgeschaltet haben:

According to reports, the water supply of the city of Sanandaj, the provincial capital of Iran’s Kordestan province, was shut off as a measure to quash the protests in the city while security forces opened fire at a group of people who were dancing in public in solidarity with the protesters. 

Aber auch in anderen Teilen wurde demonstriert, vor allem in Aserbaidschan, Sistan und Balutschistan:

People in the city of Mahabad, in West Azarbaijan province, kept on with their protests on Thursday. People were out on streets in the city after the body of Fayeq Mam-Qadri, who was shot by security forces died following 25 days in coma. Businesspeople in the city also held a strike in his honor on Thursday. 

In addition to the closure of shops in Mahabad, employees in 37 South Pars gas platforms have gone on strike to show anger at government mismanagement and unfair wages.

Videos posted on social media show thousands marching in the streets of Sistan and Baluchistan province capital Zahedan and other predominantly Sunni Baluchi population centers of Khash, Iranshahr (Pahreh or Bahreh), Rask, the border town of Pishin, strategic port city of Chabahar, and Saravan.

The leader of the Baluch people Molavi Abdolhamid also in his Friday sermon harshly criticized Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s rule.
