Protests in Sulaimaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan سلێمانی Feb 17, 2011

Two killed in Iraqi Kurdistan protest: SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq( www.kurdistan-post.info کوردستانپۆست ئینفۆ ‌) reported — Two protesters were killed Thursday when security forces fired into the air to disperse an anti-government march in Sulaimaniyah, in Iraq's northern Kurdish region, a doctor said.
"We have received two dead bodies, both of which received gunshots, and are treating more than 47 other people," said the doctor in Sulaimaniyah province's health department, on condition of anonymity.
He said the two protesters killed were men aged 18 and 25. All of the other casualties were also male, but he did not give further details.
The protesters had been attempting to storm the local offices of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of regional president Massud Barzani, prompting security forces to fire into the air to disperse the crowd.
Nearly 3,000 people, the majority of them younger than 30, had been marching towards the headquarters of the KDP and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) of Iraqi president Jalal Talabani, the two parties that have lorded over the autonomous region for decades.
While on the way to the two parties' offices, the protesters chanted, "Government resign", "Work for the unemployed" and "The corrupt must face justice".
The demonstrators began throwing stones at the two buildings, which lie near each other in the centre of Sulaimaniyah, 270 kilometres (170 miles) north of Baghdad, and then attempted to storm the KDP headquarters.
At that point, security fired their weapons into the air, and members of the local Asayesh forces and policemen have taken positions on the street.

You do not remember what we Kurds From Iranians did for your sake, and in that time you escaped to Iran, it was the Kurds who took care of you. still job you got from Iran was to pick apples I hope you will become slaves to the Iranians and you can pick apples again. it is what you deserve. Dr. Qasimlo helped you once in the time and you sold him to the Iranians as you did with your mothers too.

All of you are lame and this shit needs to stop, people around Kurds laugh at them and want for us to be destroyed. work together in peace please. If anyone disagrees with the current government of Kurdistan please use your heads to get people to vote for you, not stones and force to get a peaceful government out that you dont like. Kurds are very easy at forgetting, Barzani was at the forefront fighting alongside everyone else, don't forget that...Peace/ Knowledge Not stones

& killing
