Hadi Emini (26), from Beyanderan village near Bane, was killed by Iranian soldiers in the border region. Kurdistan Human Rights Association said that Iranian soldiers directly targeted Emini and he was killed on the spot.

Killing of Emini is the third fatal incident in the border region between Iraq and Iran in the past two weeks. Two other kolbers were killed in Sardast and Urumiyah.

After the recent economic crisis in Iran, the activities of kolbers increased as more and more families depend on income gathered from border trade.
