Iran’s top human rights official has stated that the Islamic Republic has requested the extradition of 38 main members of separatist and terrorist groups from the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in Iraq.
Kazem Gharibabadi, secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, made these comments during the fourth trial session of the members of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist group, which was held in absentia in Tehran on Tuesday.
Iran has urged the central government in Iraq and authorities in Kurdistan to fulfill their commitments towards Iran and take necessary measures to secure the border.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has conducted airstrikes against the positions of the terrorists in Iraqi Kurdistan.
On November 21, 2022, anti-Iran separatist and terrorist groups in northern Iraq were targeted with combined attacks using missiles and kamikaze drones.
According to reports, the attacks targeted the positions of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) and the Komala Party in northern Iraqi Kurdistan.
Additional attacks featured kamikaze drones hitting positions associated with Komala near the city of Sulaymaniyah.
Gharibabadi also mentioned that Iran has taken legal actions against Pakistan-based terrorist groups, including Ansar-ul-Furqan and Jaish-ul-Adl.
He also referenced a terrorist assault on Rask County’s police headquarters in the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan, which resulted in the deaths of 11 police forces.
Gharibabadi emphasized that Iran will implement court rulings against the terrorists and stated that Iran has been a victim of terrorism, with thousands of Iranian nationals falling victim to terrorist acts.
