According to reports received by the Hana Human Rights Organization, security forces in recent days have visited the homes of a number of residents in the cities of illam, Sardasht, Piranshahr, and Kermanshah, pressuring them to take part in the so-called “Jan-Fada” (Sacrifice My Life) Campaign rallies.
Based on the information received, the threats have been directed in particular at individuals with a prior history of political activity or membership in Kurdish parties. Security agents reportedly told these individuals that they would face 15-year prison sentences if they refused to attend the rallies.
Hana’s reports also indicate that, in some cases, security forces entered citizens’ homes in the early morning hours, searched the premises, and confiscated personal belongings and mobile phones. These actions were reportedly carried out without any clear explanation of the legal basis for entering the homes, conducting the searches, or seizing property.
