George Floyd of Kurdistan .. A young Kurd was shot dead by police in Tehran

His name was Kajvan and he worked in Tehran. He was killed in a police car after being arrested by police. A story similar to the murder of George Floyd by US police. Kajwan Almasi's uncle, a 30-year-old Kurdish man from Sanandaj, said he had been killed by "two bullets" fired by security forces, but his family had been forced to say he had "drunk and had an accident" in order to receive his body. Iranian officials have not yet commented. The body of Kajvan Almasi was handed over to his family in Tehran yesterday, and his uncle Kamal Almasi, who lives in Erbil, says that as soon as the body arrived in Sanandaj, the family intelligence agents forced him to bury him at night. A video has been released in which "despite security pressures", some residents of Sanandaj accompany the body of Kajvan Almasi to the city cemetery. Two days ago, Kamal Almasi said in a video that Kajvan was "one of the demonstrators in front of Jam Hospital after the death of Mohammad Reza Shajarian" who was arrested and shot in an "information van". Some media outlets in Iran reported that he had been shot dead by police after being arrested at a "night party in Shahriar." Now another video has been released of Kamal Almasi, Kajwan's uncle, who says that the body was delivered on the condition that the family announce such news under "pressure", otherwise this news is "false". Mr. Almasi says that Kajwan was "not political at all" and that it should be clarified how a young man who went to Tehran "under economic pressure" to work in a restaurant escaped from the "van" of the security forces. Mr Almasi has called for his brother to be "released" and says he has been pressured by his intelligence to say that Kajwan had "accidentally". He also says another person was with his nephew who was injured. According to a friend of Kajwan who saw his body, "a bullet hit him in the back." He said that his brother had been asked for information by Sanandaj and that he had been pressured to say that Kajvan's death was accidental. ئێران.. گه‌نجێكی كورد له‌دوای ده‌ستبه‌سه‌ركردنی به‌ ته‌قه‌ی پۆلیس كوژرا
