<<58 Kurds in Piranshahr summoned and prosecuted for wearing traditional Kurdish attire
In recent days, at least 58 Kurds from the cities of Mahabad, Bukan, and Piranshahr, including members of families of victims of the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement, have been summoned by Iran's judiciary after attending a wedding ceremony. Judicial cases have been initiated against them.
According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, these individuals were summoned to a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Piranshahr. They are expected to face formal charges in the coming days. The summons followed the online circulation of photos showing attendees wearing traditional Kurdish attire and the 'Jamaaneh' (traditional Kurdish scarf) at the wedding. Notably, in March 2022, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared the Jamaaneh a symbol of Kurdish opposition parties, banning its use during Newroz celebrations. Mojtaba Mahmoudi, the prosecutor of Piranshahr, accused these individuals of <propaganda against the state> for celebrating, dancing, and symbolically expressing Kurdish identity at the wedding. Videos of the event widely shared on social media have also been cited as evidence.
Among those summoned are Hassan Farastishad, Mohammad Daroftadeh, and Hassan Daroftadeh, relatives of Amir Farastishad and Komar Daroftadeh, both victims of the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement. The full list of individuals summoned by the Iranian judiciary is as follows:>>
