Iran: Angry Kurds burn down hotel after woman jumps to death to escape rape

Share:

Farinaz KhosrwniHundreds of Kurds have burned down a hotel over allegations that a Kurdish girl jumped to death to escape being raped by an Iranian Intelligence official.

The Kurds boiled over after it emerged that the 23-year-old Kurdish girl, Farinaz Khosrwni, had jumped to her death to escape a rape attempt by an Iranian intelligence official, ARA reported. The girl was an employee of Tarai hotel in Mahabad.

She jumped from the fourth floor of the hotel building, which was later burned down by the angry mob.

Mahabad is a predominantly Kurdish city, located in West Azerbaijan Province of Iran. The Kurdish population of the country have been pushing for independent statehood since 1946. They repeatedly face brutal treatment from the Iranian regime.

Hundreds of locals gathered at the hotel and burned down the building on Thursday, chanting: “We will burn every inch of every place that forces our women to kill themselves to avoid rape.”

Since then tensions in the ethnically Kurdish city have been running high as protesters clashed with the security forces, who fired live bullets at the crowd.

“The Kurdish people in Iran have been subjected to persecution and suppression by the authorities. This incident, although seems individual, reflects the degree of brutality of security officers in Mahabad,” Kurdish activist Ibrahim Asaad told ARA News.

Noting that the suppression of Kurds by the Iranian regime has “reached unbearable level”, Asaad said: “This protest has been motivated by sympathy with the victim and dozens other victims who were exposed to such acts by the Iranian authorities.”

Many Kurdish people also took to Twitter to highlight the issue. By using the hashtag, #JusticeForFarinaz, the people condemned the Iranian regime and the injustice meted out to the young woman.

          The issue is not really whether they report it or not because it exists everywhere, they (Iranians) cannot hide behind their finger… It is like ahmadinejad saying on a US campus they don’t have gays in Iran which drew a big reaction from the audience.

          In your backyard, reports say complaints in the IDF regarding sexual offenses has increased in recent years, with 777 complaints in 2012, 930 in 2013, and 1,073 in 2014.

          At least they report it but apparently the measures they have taken are not working.
          As I said before, it starts at home with proper parenting.

            you are absolutly correct Hannibal.
            in the last 3 years we put a president behind bars.
            a promising top army officer kicked out of the militry cause of sexual offence.
            a number of high ranking police officals for sexual behavior inapropriate of an officer- some got demoted as well so they lose their pension rights and more.
            few days ago a police man attacked an etheiopian soldier for no apparant reason- that officer is fired as well.
            it is all out in the open, israeli media reports it all, so as to your replay: Yes it happens everywhere and yes- we’re not perfect but we’re honest about it and working towards better our self. now, be honest with me as I am with you, how many arab nations you know of who strive to do the same?

      I’d rather say shades of lack of parenting…
      In the country of this dork Mekenseh (lol could not help it)
      Every 2 minutes, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted.
      The state of Ohio reported 4,452 forcible rapes in 2007
      One out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime.
      Seeking to end rape on campus, White House launches β€˜It’s On Us’ campaign… I guess they are sick of it.
      One in five women are sexually assaulted while on U.S. college campuses, according to studies, many of them during their first year by someone they know.

      Yes 5th, Mekenseh does not have to go to Iran or Lebanon to be raped, she (now that he questions his gender as well) may get raped right here in her beloved country. ;)))
