The border couriers were injured by Iran border guards.

Two border couriers from Ravansar and Saqqez cities in Kurdistan province were injured by Iranian security forces while working as couriers in the border of Nawsood and Bana cities, Hangaw Human Rights Organization reported.

According to a report by the organization, some people in East Kurdistan who go to the borders to work as couriers are attacked by the border guard every day. They climb high and steep mountains to put food on the table of their families as Iranian riyals is devalued due to the US-led sanctions on Iran.

Border couriers move goods across the Iran-Kurdistan region border over the dangerously high mountains. They are usually shot by Iranian border guards.
