Perhaps the hotel owner was trying to bribe the police

Government officials and police are often open to bribery even in the UK

Farinaz Khosrawani, 26, worked at Mahabad's Hotel Tara, has died suspiciously



I cannot help but wonder what job she was doing dressed this way

I have Kurdish friends from Iran and the women dress conservatively

Hotel torched, tear gas in streets of Iran's Mahabad

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Tensions are on edge in the ethnically Kurdish city of Mahabad, Iran, where protesters earlier torched a hotel over the unexplained death one of its female employees.

Police on Thursday used tear gas to remove hundreds of demonstrators from the area in front of the damaged Tara Hotel, leading to near riot conditions in the city some 200km from the border with Iraq's Kurdistan region.

At least one protester has been reported injured in the incident that began after the death of Farinaz Khosrawani, 25, who was killed by a fall from the 4th floor of the hotel.

The death was denounced by local demonstrators who suspected foul play. Despite the arrest of a suspect, protesters set fire to part of the hotel.

“The people must wait until the investigation results are out to find out the reason behind Khosrawani's death,” Jaafar Katani, Muhabat mayor, told Rudaw.

Khosrawani's family agreed withe the investigation but tensions remain high in the city of 280,000 people.

“We are waiting the result of the investigation,” a family member told a Rudaw.

Wedding or another feast. There is nothing unusual in such dress.

I am surprised because as I said all the Kurds I have come across from Iran and very conservative and none that I know of would have looked this way

They all wore beautiful scarves or hijabs

Sometimes I wonder if UK does not make people Islamists The Iranian Kurds I know are dressed (many Institute students) like any Europeans. A Hijabi girl is considered as very islamist among Kurds there and especially Iranian girls and women who enjoy AT LAST to get rid of their fabric-jail.

A lot of brainwashed Northern Kurds living in UK wear head scarves - especially the older ones

The older Kurds wear regional headscarves. Generally, middle-aged women got rid of it, if they are educated and politically involved. And they look at surprise their 20s daughter wearing the new Turkish Islamist turban…

Man Arrested In Iran After Woman's Death Sparks Violence In Kurdish City

A day after riots were reported over the unexplained demise of a young chambermaid in Mahabad, the capital of Iran's West Azerbaijan province, local authorities announced that an individual has been detained over the death, which happened earlier this week.

Mahabad's prosecutor, Aslan Heydari, made the announcement in a May 8 interview with Iran's government news agency IRNA, while adding that an investigation into the "suspicious" death of the woman is being conducted "very carefully."

The woman, 25-year-old Farinaz Khosravani, died on May 3 after a fall from the fourth floor of the city's four-star Hotel Tara where she worked, reports said.

The Rudaw.net news website, based in neighboring Iraqi Kurdistan, reported that protesters suspected foul play in her death. Mahabad with its majority Kurdish population had, in the past, been the scene of tensions and clashes between security forces and ethnic Kurds.

Some gathered in front of the Hotel Tara to express their anger amid unconfirmed rumors that Khosravani was trying to escape being raped by an Iranian security official when she either fell or committed suicide.

However, Alireza Radfar, the deputy governor of West Azerbaijan for political, security and social affairs, was quoted by Iranian state media as saying that the "likely accused" has nothing to do with security bodies and that he was in Mahabad as a private-sector consultant who was meant to be helping to raise standards at the hotel.

Radfar accused opposition and "antirevolutionary" groups and media of spreading lies in connection with the incident to "incite" the youth in the city.

He said the Hotel Tara was set on fire by protesters and that 25 people, including seven police officers, were injured in the May 7 violence.

Pictures and videos shared on social media showed protesters with raised fists, some with bloody faces, while black smoke and flames were seen coming out of the hotel building.

If the report before this is true then the other deaths are due to organisations spreading lies

Sadly it happens a lot

Young Kurds and Kurds in general are often manipulated by different organisations and political parties
