Kurdish parties urge general strike in support of Iran nationwide protests
Seven Iranian Kurdish opposition parties have issued a joint call for a general strike on Thursday, in support of nationwide protests and in condemnation of what they described as the “crimes of the regime in Kermanshah, Ilam and Lorestan.”
They said they strongly condemned the crackdown on demonstrations and the detention of protesters, describing it as a "long-standing policy of the Islamic Republic regime."
They called on all political parties and civil organizations to “take a united and collective stance against the crimes of the Islamic Republic regime and join this call.”
The statement was signed by The Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran; Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan; Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK); Komala, Kurdistan Organization of the Communist Party of Iran; Revolutionary Komala of Toilers of Iranian Kurdistan (Komala); and the Kurdistan Organization of Khabat.
