IRGC kills two Kurds who were in hiding, say rights groups

IRGC kills two Kurds who were in hiding, say rights groups Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have killed two Kurdish activists in the west of the country who went into hiding following anti-government protests in January, two rights groups said on Friday. Iranian media confirmed the incident, which took place on Thursday, but said that the men were armed, had been instigators of "riots", and were killed by security forces when they opened fire from their hideout in the western province of Kermanshah. Brothers Meisam Visi and Mojtaba Visi, adherents of the Yarsan faith, had been living in hiding after the January protests, the Norway-based Hengaw rights group said.
