18-year-old kolber killed by Iranian forces

Armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran continue to kill kolbers, workers who carry weight on their backs for a daily stipend.

According to Kurdistan Human Rights Network, Iranian regime forces have killed 18-year-old kolber Wahîd Dewletxa Cenkanlû at the border of Makû’s Yarimkiya Mezin village Monday morning.

 

The young kolber was reportedly carrying cigarette when he was shot by fire opened from the border outpost no 37 on the border line.

According to eyewitnesses, Cenkanlû managed to flee from the scene after getting shot, and reached the Fecr Hospital in Makû. Yet, he lost his life at hospital a few hours later due to loss of excessive blood.

Reports suggest that Cenkanlû's body has not been handed over to his family who faced insults from the regime forces for wanting to file a criminal complaint on the murder of their son.
