The family of injured 14-year-old Kolbar cannot afford his treatment.
According to reports, Mani Hashemi, a 14-year-old kolbar who fell on September 7 while fleeing from police shooting, has suffered serious injuries.
Iran's labor news agency, ILNA, writes in this regard that his family does not have the financial means to transport him to medical centers in Tehran.
The teenage kolbar, who is from Shamshir village in Paveh province in Kermanshah, received initial treatment at a local hospital, but the deep injuries to his head and eyes require treatment at more equipped medical centers.
Mani Hashemi's family has asked for help from the public to transport him to Tehran and continue his treatment.
The official ILNA news agency cited the reason for the teenage kolbar's fall as "losing balance due to fear of arrest and detention," and on social media, Mani Hashemi's reason for colbarry was stated as "raising money to buy a mobile phone."
According to statistics recorded at the Statistics and Documentation Center of the Hengaw Human Rights Organization, during the past month (August), 31 Kurdish kolbars and businessmen were killed and injured on Iran's western borders.
News and reports about the killing of Kolbars in Iran have been published many times and in some cases have had widespread repercussions, leading to protests and strikes in some regions and cities of Iran.
Officials in the Islamic Republic consider kolbari to be part of the smuggling process, but many critics and activists, citing widespread poverty and unemployment, inequalities, and other challenges, describe kolbari not as a way to earn money, but rather as the only way to "survive" for a group of citizens and their families.
There have also been previous reports of prison sentences and floggings being issued to protest the killing of kolbars.
On August 22, the Hengaw Human Rights Organization announced that 10 civil society activists in Baneh were sentenced to a total of 30 months in prison and 250 lashes for protesting the killing of kolbars.
