Kako has been a member of the Komala Party of #Iranian #Kurdistan since he was 18, a group that has spent decades fighting for #Kurdish self-determination. For the last ten years, he has worked there full-time and currently he is a member of the party’s leadership.

Now, as the war weakens the #Iranian state and reports of the U.S supporting the Kurdish groups #militarily are circulating – the #Kurdish story is at a critical moment: the fall of the regime could be fatal or their making.

@timkmak

Does Iran have masked federal agents chasing them down in the streets? Are they building concentration camps to detain them in terrible conditions while government authorities lie about why they're being detained? That sounds horrific!
