The Human Rights Organization of Kurdistan Announces

Human Rights Organization of Kurdistan
February 4, 2007
As was previously announced the 28th, 29th, and 30th of January were days of protests against the Iranian Islamic Regime in honor of the National Holiday of Kurdistan. The turnout for the protests was impressive, with many labourers, students, women, political activists and sympathizers attending. Some rumors were spread regarding the protests, that the Human Rights Organization of Kurdistan was a religious organization working with the Iranian Regime. We wish to refute these rumors that were spread by ignorance. The Human Rights Organization of Kurdistan is the largest human rights organization run by the Kurdish for the benefit of Kurdistan. This organization wishes to make clear that it is NOT a political organization, and NOT a religious organization, but a human rights organization only. We are not licensed by the Iranian government. We are not dependant on the Iranian Regime, nor are we in want or need of its support, as we are entirely a self-made and self-run organization.
