According to reports received by Hana Human Rights Organization, on Friday, July 4, 2025, a kolbar from Bukan identified as Rezgar Mohammadi, 42 years old and married, was seriously injured after being directly shot by military forces at the Hengazhal border area of Baneh.
According to the reports, following the shooting and due to the severity of his injuries, the kolbar was transferred to a hospital in Sanandaj for medical treatment, where he is currently hospitalized.
It is worth noting that kolbari is one of the most difficult and dangerous forms of labor in the border regions of western Iran. Kolbars, often living in extreme poverty and lacking access to proper employment opportunities, are forced to take up this high-risk work out of necessity.
