Following clashes between the Kurdish youth and Suppressive State Security forces, SSF, in the town of Milan-Macoo, northwestern Iran, a number of youth were injured and arrested.
The clashes erupted following degrading and insulting treatment of elderlies in this town by these SSF which caused reaction among the youth and subsequent clash and injuries.
In the beginning the number of youth overwhelmed the SSF, but the forces called backups and attacked the people arresting a number of them.
The arrest and injuries to the youth has backlashed and there is a climate of unrest in that town. The SSF has tried to use one of the older sheikhs to quell the unrest, but has not been successful.
One of the injured who has been identified as Habib Saifi Dervish is said to be in critical condition in the hospital.
