MORE than 90 Kurds have been “disappeared” in northern Iran in the past two weeks, the Kurdish Human Rights Association (KMMK) reported today.
It said that the arrest of four environmentalists on Thursday had increased the total number of those missing to 92, as families appealed for information on their loved ones’ whereabouts.
Human rights campaigners, environmentalists and civil activists have been the main targets of that latest wave of arrests targeting Kurds, which the human rights group said had started on January 9.
