Once again the Iranian islamic government has decided to take action against Kurdish people will and resictance and has therefore initiated widespread arrests against the Kurdish people in Eastern Kurdistan. 

 

Of course, this is not the first time that the government of Iran has taken action against the Kurdish people in the Eastern Kurdistan because whenever Iran's policy towards minorities, especially the Kurdish people fails, the government will launch large-scale arrests and intimidation. But as we can see, the Kurdish people have decided from the beginning not to submit to inequality and injustice and will fight against Iran"s government's opressor system and policy. Therefore, the Kurdish people are not afraid of the government and they will not be silent, but they will only become stronger and more fearless against government intimidation, therefore, the Kurdish people are not afraid of the Iranian Islamic government and they will not be silent, and they will only become stronger and fearless against government intimidation and their desire for  revenge grows. 

 

The Iranian government knows that the Kurdish people have good potential and that they can bring change to the area and therefore, the Iranian government is attacking with more arrests and intimidation so that they wont show their weakness. Especially in recent years, with more and more women being imprisoned and intimidated, the Iranian government wants to stop and intimidate people. Always with new excuses, the Iranian government wants politically and culturally give itself a reason to continue their's efforts and especially recently, we have witnessed a government ban on women singing. The government doe's not want women to sing and if a woman sings then it has to happen with a man. This just shows how the government fears women’s organization. We know how important it is for women to sing to stick to their freedom and traditions. The Iranian system does not accept the existence of other ethnic minorities not to mention women singing because they claim it is a war against their religion. This just shows how the Iranian government wants to silence women in the name of religion.

 

We saw the reactions of the Kurdish people and especially women for the disrespect of TV channels against Kurdish clothes and culture and for that reason reactions didnt only remained in Rastern Kurdistan but also in other parts of Kurdistan and in Europe. In the same way, women in particular need to raise their voices against these arrests because everything is connected to each other and the government wants to silence and intimidate everyone. We must remember that dozens of innocent people have been arrested in defense of their own culture.
