Kurdistan Genocide Writers Union's plea to the international community

Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran has launched a series of drone attacks on the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) territory, targeting refugee camps and civilian areas. As a result, several people have been martyred and injured, causing fear among citizens and students.

These attacks on the Kurdistan Region coincide with the protests of the Iranian people. Consequently, several writers, artists, and human rights activists have been arrested. We consider the recent events in Iran as an internal issue of that country. Nonetheless, we sympathize with the Iranian and Kurdish people for achieving their freedom and legitimate rights.

Meanwhile, Turkey continues to violate the borders of the Kurdistan Region by bombings and drone attacks, which is a crime that has caused instability in the Kurdistan Region and Iraq.

These events are dangerous and must be stopped. Iran has destroyed the stability in these areas by bombing the Kurdistan Region's borders and villages.

The latest and most dangerous event is the Iranian bombings of the Kurdish refugee camps in Koya District in Erbil Province, Zrgwez village in Sulaymaniyah Province, and the Prde Sub-district in Kirkuk Province.

These violations are considered international and war crimes under international conventions, especially the Rome Statute, because it has targeted civilians inside homes and schools.

As the Kurdistan Genocide Writers Union, we call on the international community and all responsible parties to protect the Kurdish people from the threat of war crimes and genocide.
