Meet Pisîka Wanê, a rare and ancient landrace cat breed native to the beautiful region around Gola Wanê in Bakur. These felines are famous worldwide for their striking looks, a plush pure white coat and stunning odd-colored eyes, typically one bright blue and one warm amber.

Fun fact: What makes Wanê cat legendary is that they like water. Unlike almost every other cat on the planet, they genuinely love to swim!

>Following the killing of 57-year-old Kolbar (border courier) Wazir Rahimi by border regiment military forces in Nowsud, his daughter, Soma Rahimi, has released a video speaking out against his wrongful death. Expressing that her father was unjustly killed and her life's joy was taken from her, she revealed that he was not even carrying any load at the time and succumbed to injuries so severe they tell a bitter story of how these porters are deliberately targeted to be killed. Driven by this tragedy, she stated her mission to be a voice not just for her father, but for all Kolbars who are silently and covertly killed without public acknowledgment.
Despite Rojhelat (Eastern Kurdistan) possessing vast natural resources and immense economic potential, systemic underinvestment and political marginalization have plunged the region into a dire economic crisis. Stripped of viable employment opportunities, many residents are forced to embark on the highly perilous work of kolbari—manually carrying heavy goods across treacherous mountainous borders just to make a basic living.
This survival mechanism comes at a devastating cost: border guards operating under the direction of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) routinely and indiscriminately shoot at these porters. Dozens are killed or severely wounded each year, yet the regime maintains a culture of absolute impunity, with authorities consistently refusing to take responsibility for these structural and targeted acts of violence.

>Iranian security forces on Friday shot dead a Kurdish porter (kolbar) near the Kurdistan Region border, reported a human rights watchdog. 
Wazir Rahimi, 57, was killed near the bordering village of Shushmi of Nowsud district in Kermanshah province, western Iran (Rojhelat). The area borders the Kurdistan Region, according to the France-based Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN). 
The rights group also reported that Rahimi was shot at close range without warning by Iranian border guards early Friday morning. 
His body was taken to the forensic medicine department in Kermanshah's Paveh county. As of Friday, authorities had not returned his remains to his family, KHRN said.
Kolbars are porters, most of them Kurds, who carry goods on foot across the mountainous and heavily militarized border between Iran and the Kurdistan Region in Iraq, often for meager wages. Rights groups have repeatedly documented cases of Iranian border forces opening fire on kolbars, resulting in deaths and injuries each year. Kurdish human rights organizations have long called on Tehran to end the practice of shooting at unarmed porters and to hold those responsible accountable.
In 2025, at least 19 Kurdish kolbars were killed on Iran-Kurdistan Region border, according to the KHRN. Of these deaths, 15 resulted from direct gunfire by Iranian military forces, while the remaining four were attributed to frostbite, cardiac arrest, a road accident, and an avalanche, one death each. A further 21 kolbars were injured, with 20 of those injuries caused by direct gunfire or physical assaults by Iranian forces, and one resulting from a landmine explosion.

Turkish court sentences 15-year-old boy from Rojava to 80 years in prison based on FSA allegations

Fifteen-year-old Rojava native Hussein Mohammad, who was abducted by factions of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) from Serêkaniyê, has been sentenced to 80 years in prison in Turkey.

A verdict has been issued in the case against Hussein Mohammad, who was abducted for ransom by factions of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in 2022 from the city of Serêkaniyê in North and East Syria. After failing to obtain a ransom, the armed group handed him over to Turkey, where he has stood trial since.

The case, which was based on the FSA’s allegations, was retried before the 2nd High Criminal Court in Urfa after the Court of Cassation overturned the previous ruling. During the retrial, Hussein Mohammad was recognized as being under the age of 18.

The court rejected the defense lawyers’ requests for further examination of the evidence and found Mohammad responsible for the deaths of three Turkish soldiers, sentencing him to four separate prison terms of 20 years each, totaling 80 years in prison.

According to Yeni Yaşam newspaper, Hussein Mohammad, who is currently held in Erzincan High Security Prison, was accused of being responsible for the deaths of three Turkish soldiers allegedly killed by sniper fire. Mohammad was prosecuted on the basis of reports prepared by the FSA. His age had previously been officially increased, while official birth records submitted by his lawyers to the court showed that he was approximately 14 years old at the time of the incident. The Court of Cassation had previously overturned the original verdict on procedural grounds and instructed the retrial court to reconcile the age assessments provided by the Council of Forensic Medicine and hospital reports.

>Iranian authorities are preparing for the possibility that Ali Khamenei’s week-long funeral ceremonies could leave between 1,500 and 3,000 people dead, Germany’s WELT reported, citing a classified document and municipal sources in Tehran.

>The report, written from Tehran by an anonymous author whose identity is known to WELT’s editors, said officials have drawn up contingency plans for a possible mass-casualty disaster during the processions for the slain former Supreme Leader.

Some of them will claim they are just stating their opinions. However such opinions are nothing but throwing insults and calling nasty words at young people (especially teenagers) who are just doing their own stuff and enjoying themselves, it's not like they have done any harm to anyone, yet these insufferable people see it as a crime has been committed.

I feel such a sorrow sensation towards these younger people who have so many dreams and goals they want to achieve or hobbies and activities to do but cannot due to the fear of judgement and threat from the kurdish society.

There are more serious matters these adults can throw their rage at but only courageous enough to only do it towards youngsters and want them to follow their steps and be as insufferable as them. Like no one should be that happy.

This event is a major example of how toxic our people's mindset is when someone is different and being free spirited. There are many more and it's always the same thing with hate comments filled with curses and nasty words. No matter how much reasoning you give them, they still won't chang their mindset.
