Three Iranian Kurdish opposition party members were killed in the last ten days inside the Iraqi Kurdistan region’s soil, with activists and opposition groups accusing Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) behind the killings.
Recently, Iran has been targeting members and bases of various Iranian Kurdish opposition parties based in the Iraqi Kurdistan region, justifying the attacks by accusing these parties of fuelling protests inside Iran.
Two members of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) were killed at the Halsho resort of Sulaimaniyah province on 7 July.
Adel Muhajir, also known as Sarbaz, and Luqman Aji were visiting a Halsho resort in Qaladze town when they were killed by gunmen affiliated with IRGC, the party said in a statement.
On Wednesday, Siyamand Shaboyi, 35, was found dead near Erbil's Bahrka area, Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, which monitors human rights in Iranian Kurdistan, reported. He was a member of the KDPI, originally from Oshnaviyeh.
According to Hengaw, a bullet wound in the back of his skull was seen, and Iran's intelligence previously threatened the victim.
Hengaw also reported threats by Iran's intelligence against their staff based in the Kurdistan region, urging Kurdish security authorities in the Kurdistan region to "ensure the safety and well-being of Hengaw members."
