A Kurdish load carrier from the city of Sardasht in western Iran was gunned down and killed by State Security Forces on Monday, July 6. These agents targeted this innocent man as they suspected him of carrying smuggled goods, while he had no such items with him, eyewitnesses said. As a result of this attack the residents of a local village attacked these regime agents.
Iranians living in border towns are forced into such excruciating jobs such as carrying heavy loads due to high unemployment, poverty and inflation.
