Human Rights Organization of Kurdistan Reporters

Article 546
January 24, 2007
Bokan- Samko Ghaderpour, twenty-six, is fasting in protest against the sentence he was given after three years in prison. He was sentenced to eleven more years in prison for political activities. He has been fasting since this past Tuesday and has been transferred to isolation. Mr. Ghaderpour was born into an impoverished family, his parents passed away a few years ago and he does not have anyone to plead his case for him or give him funds for bond. He was politically active for seven years with a Kurdish political party, and is currently a representative of The Human Rights Organization of Kurdistan. We are unable to extend him any financial assistance currently due to lack of funds
