Kurdish human rights activists in Iran say that during the Wednesday night protests in Sanandaj, a 21-year-old man was killed by gunfire from security forces.
Human rights organizations have identified the deceased as Hooman Abdollahi.
Hengaw and the Kurdistan Human Rights Network have reported the death of this young man from Sanandaj.
The Kurdistan Human Rights Network stated that the body of this citizen has not yet been handed over to his family, and security forces have been deployed around Kowsar Hospital.
