Kurds in Syria suffer heavy repression

According to the Media Institute of West Kurdistan Society, there has been no news of the Kurd Ramadan Muslim Ahmed since his arrest in 2008. His nickname is Kamal Kobani; he was born in Kobani, Syria in 1981. He was captured as he crossed the Iranian border, when he was seriously injured after the Iranian forces fired at him. He had an unjust trial and was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. He wounds were not dressed and his family were not allowed to see him. His parents have expressed fears for his life.

The family appeals to human rights organizations and the Red Crescent Society of the Islamic Republic of Iran to intervene to allow them to visit their son in detention in a Tehran prison. They ask them to ensure that the authorities are providing him with the necessary treatment, and to enable him to ensure proper application of the law so that he can benefit from his legal rights to defend himself in the court.
