4.     The Iranian government should respect people rights among them walking tour, demonstrating and show their opinions.


The three main areas KOMALAH is involved in are as follows:

The development of the party’s clandestine organisation, and activities in the cities and villages of Kurdistan.

The development of people’s everyday struggle for reforms, building on their achievements both small and great, and establishing large trade and professional organisations wherever people live and work.

The military struggle in Kurdistan against the Islamic regime’s aggression.

With regard to the first area of work, a body called the ‘clandestine organisation centre’, known by the name ‘TAKISH’, was set up. Its members in the cities and villages of Iran’s Kurdistan are contacted either by written correspondence or verbally, by calling them out from Iran and discussing matters with them in person (eg in Iraqi Kurdistan, or Europe).

The second part of our work is mainly carried out through the publication of magazines and special broadsheets which are frequently issued. We also have a daily radio broadcast lasting three and a half hours, on three short wave channels. PESHRAW is KOMALAH’s monthly political magazine written in the Kurdish language, as is PESHANG, a literary magazine.

With regard to the third area of our work, KOMALAH has set up a military body called KOMALAH’S PESHMERGA FORCE. Its purpose is to organise the military defence of the people of Kurdistan, and it has carried out this task in Iranian Kurdistan for the past 16 years. Given the regime’s militarisation of the whole of Iran’s Kurdistan in the recent period, the Force’s military actions are carried out through small guerrilla groups who live secretly inside Kurdistan.

KOMALAH maintains two camps in Iraqi Kurdistan, in the Suleymaniya province, which contain some of the departments central to KOMALAH’s activities, such as the Executive Committee, the Clandestine Organisation Centre, Radio Broadcasting, Printing, the Health Centre, and the Military Training Centre. It also takes care of a group of Iranian political refugees living in the regions of Suleymaniya, Qlaladiza, Rania, Arbat, Kifri and Kalar.

One fact needs highlighting. During the years following the first Gulf War (1988), because of changes in the region’s political conditions, KOMALAH was forced to prepare for later events and to increase its ability to manoeuvre and the humanitarian aspect of its work. Thus, it sent out around 2000 members and supporters, well known political refugees and their families who lived in Iraqi Kurdistan, with the co-operation of the UN or independent of it, who subsequently settled in different countries around the world.
