Kurdish people, and particularly women, in Iran have been living under double pressure for the last two years as the Islamist regime in the country has ramped up its aggression, said Nilüfer Koç, spokesperson for the Commission on Foreign Relations of the Kurdistan National Congress (KNK).
“The killing and torturing of Jina was the last drop, which has caused the cup to overflow,” said Koç in a podcast with Matt Broomfield on Saturday, referring to the death of a 22-year old Kurdish woman in Iran last week that led to country-wide protests.
