SULAIMANI — Asayish (security) forces raided a property belonging to the Kurdistan Free Society Movement (Tavgari Azadi) in the Kalar district and arrested nine party members.

Co-chair of Tavgari Azadi for the Garmian region Hawre Jabar told NRT Digital Media that the property that was raided is an education center called Shahid Guevara Garmiani, which focuses on youth programming.

“The Asayish raided the headquarters and arrested nine of our members,” Jabar said.

He added that several women were detained and that the Asayish had not said what they were being charged with or where they are being held.

In November, the Sulaimani Asayish closed down the party’s offices throughout the governorate.
