A local source said that on Thursday December 15, forces of the Revolutionary Guards Corps in the Bemo border region in the town of Tazeh Abad directly targeted two men identified as Farokh Faraji, who is married and has a child and Hamid Mohammad, who is married and has five children. They were followers of the Ayin Yari Faith [religious minority] and lived in the Mahdieh Township in Kermanshah.
This source said that Farokh Hamidi died on the spot because of the severity of his wounds. Hamid Mohammadi who sustained severe wounds in his two legs might have to receive amputation. A person close to them said that these two Kurd men were forced to work as border tradesmen due to unemployment and RGC forces targeted them despite the fact that they were not carrying any foreign goods.
Hamid Mohammadi is reportedly hospitalized in the Bistoon Hospital in Kermanshah under the watchful eye of the State Security Forces. (International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran – Dec. 19, 2011)
