Iran’s national diversity has been regarded as a “problem” by successive regimes in Iran and has been subject to violence and forced assimilation, it holds the key to democracy in the country. Thus, it is in the outside world’s interest to support Iran’s national diversity.

Kurdish Leader Mustafa Hijri: “It is not imperative to employ in Iran the similar policies conducted in Iraq or Afghanistan.”

Iranian Kurd parties say they want a federal Iran, not secession

The regime of Iran to be pressured in order to release all the arrested people during the last weeks in Kurdistan and their economic losses to be recovered

For the sake of protecting the civilian Kurdish population and to bring stability to the region, these are the least actions we expect the United Nations and its human rights body to take.
