On 7 May 2015, ethnic Kurds rioted in Mahabad, Iran, following the unexplained death on 4 May 2015 of Farinaz Khosravani, a 25-year-old Kurdish hotel chambermaid. Khosravani fell to her death from a fourth-floor window of the Tara, the hotel where she worked. Anger mounted following reports that Khosravani died attempting to escape an Iranian official who was threatening to rape her. The rioters reportedly set fire to the hotel. At least 25 people were wounded in the riot. Unrest and violence spread to other Kurdish cities in Iran, such as Sardasht, where police clashed with hundreds of protesters on 9 May 2015. One protester has been reportedly killed in the clashes, and that additionally, Kurdish insurgent group PJAK had attacked an Iranian checkpoint killing two Iranian personnel, according to PJAK.〔http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Behind-the-lines-A-tremor-is-felt-in-Iranian-Kurdistan-403135〕 According to ARA sources, as of May 11, the death toll climbed to 6 protesters killed.〔()〕 ==See also== *Kurdish separatism in Iran *February 1999 Kurdish protests 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahabad riots」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
