HRA News Agency- Following the call from Kurdish organizations, civil institutions, political activists, and various parties to hold a general strike throughout Kurdish-populated areas, a general strike was widely held, even though the Kurdish territories were heavily militarized by regime forces.
According to HRANA reporters, the strike was at its highest level in the city of Sanandaj which was completely shut down. A significant percentage of shops as well as peddlers did not open for business in objection to the May 9th executions.
Shopkeepers on Ferdowsi, 6th-Bahman, Gozar, and Namaki streets closed their doors in a coordinated fashion.
A clash was reported between citizens and security forces in the village of Nosood. Bullets were fired into the air to disperse the people.
Reports from Marivan, Bukan, Divandareh, Mahabad, Oshnooyeh, and several other cities indicate that there have been large numbers of participants on strike.
It has also been reported that large numbers of people from various cities visited the residences of the executed prisoners in the Sanandaj and Kamyaran to show their sympathy and support.
