Along the border strips of Baneh and Nowsud, government forces opened fire and launched attacks on groups of Kolbars, resulting in at least nine Kolbars suffering injuries and fatalities.
According to reports acquired by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on the evening of Tuesday, November 7, 2023, border regiment forces stationed at the Hangazhall-Baneh border claimed the life of Azad Sattarpanah, a 43-year-old Kolbar from Saqqez and a father of two children from the village of Darreh Ziarat, Saqqez. Additionally, they critically wounded another Kolbar, Sirajaldin Saqqez, hailing from the village of "Darreh Panbeh Dan, Saqqez" through gunfire. Mr. Saqqez was subsequently transported to medical facilities in Baneh after sustaining two gunshot wounds.
Simultaneously, on the border of Kermanshah Province, border regimental forces targeted a group of Kolbars from Salas-e Babajani, causing injuries to at least six individuals. These Kolbars sustained gunshot wounds to their abdomen, waist, and hand and were promptly admitted to Quds Paveh Hospital. While two of these Kolbars, Saman Azizi and another with the Bahrami surname, have been identified, the identities of the remaining four individuals are currently under investigation.
On the same day at the Nowsud border, a Kolbar from Tin village in Bayangan county, identified as Taiyb Khosravi, endured injuries as border regiment forces hurled stones, leading to severe head and rib fractures. His condition is reported to be critical.
