KNK stated that the Iranian government is trying to marginalize and starve the Kurdish community on the one hand, and on the other hand, as part of its policy of systematic genocide,directly targets the the Kolbers who resort to this dangerous work to earn a living for themselves and their families. The statement continues: "Thousands of people have been killed, tens of thousands of people have been injured, and tens of thousands of families have been affected. "According to Kurdistan Human Rights Network, at least 48 kolbers have been killed this year and 427 people have been injured." Recalling that so far no one has been prosecuted for these barbaric actions, KNK announced: "Businessmen and kolbers are not a threat to Iran's armed forces and they just want to make a living. But the regime forces are like this, they go on a hunt, they attack the Kolbers without warning and shoot them directly. Contrary to its many promises to solve the problem of the Kolbers, the Iranian government has increased violence against the Kolbers in the last two years. There is no excuse for these attacks and the massacre of these people. This attack and massacre is the hostile policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran against the people of Kurdistan. As KNK, we condemn and disgrace those barbaric attacks and ask the Iranian government to fulfill its duty and responsibility in protecting people's lives". https://muhemedemini.home.blog/2024/05/31/national-congress-of-kurdistan-the-killing-of-kolbers-is-part-of-the-policy-of-systematic-genocide/
