Iranian intelligence forces made threatening calls to civil and human rights activists hours after thousands of people gathered in Iranian Kurdish cities to express their solidarity to fellow Kurds in Syria, who are under heavy bombardments by Turkey.

Avatoday has received multi-reports of harassments by Iranian intelligence forces, who called Kurdish activists, and threaten to arrest, torture and kill them.

In a recorded phone call, obtained by Avatoday, a security agent with an angry and hostile voice told one of the local activists, “don’t even try to show up in public tomorrow, the day after or this week. If I see you protesting or encouraging others to protest I am going to kill you, do you understand?”

The intelligence force has also said he would make similar calls to the family members of the activist.

Thousands of Kurds in Iranian cities took the street on Friday, shouting anti-Turkey slogans as Ankara started its assaults against Kurdish forces in Syria right after the US’s sudden withdrew from the region.

According to the information received by Avatoday tens of people were arrested and hundreds of protesters wounded by Iranian security forces who tried to stop pro-Kurdish demonstrations.
