Rights group says strikes spread across Iran’s Kurdish regions
The Hana Human Rights Organization said strikes began on Thursday in several Kurdish-majority cities in western Iran, including Sanandaj, Ilam, Divandarreh, Marivan and Bukan, following a call by Kurdish political parties.
Hana said Sanandaj, the capital of Iran’s Kordestan province, was “completely on strike” despite security threats. Seven Kurdish parties had earlier issued a joint call for a general strike to support nationwide protests and to condemn what they described as state violence in Kermanshah, Ilam and Lorestan.
