In response to the execution of three young Kurdish activist prisoners by the Iranian Regime on the 8th of September that immediately followed by an attack on Kurdistan Democratic Party in Southern Kurdistan which resulted in killing 18 people and injuring 49 people, the Kurdish community in Victoria held a protest condemning the inhumane acts by the Iranian Regime.
