Meeting of the PDKI Representatives in Norway with the Political Advisor of Amnesty International

In continuation of the activities and efforts of the PDKI foreign relations a meeting took place in Oslo on January 28, 2026, between representatives of the party—consisting of Amir Babakhani and Hozan Agoshi—and Amnesty International, with the participation of Mr. Gerald Kador Folkvord, political advisor of that organization, to discuss the human rights situation in Iran and East Kurdistan.

During the meeting, Amnesty International provided clarifications on its mandate and working methods, and reaffirmed that it works on the human rights situation in Iran in general, while at the same time being aware of the severe conditions in the Kurdistan Region.

The PDKI delegation expressed their concerns regarding the Iranian regime’s attacks, killings, and arrests of Kurdish citizens, and called for greater attention and international follow-up. They also informed Mr. Gerald Kador Folkvord about the risks of attacks on Kurdish political organizations, noting that at any time in the event of military escalation in the region, the Tehran regime targets the bases and headquarters of eastern Kurdistan political parties.

Amnesty International reaffirmed that attacks on civilians constitute international crimes and that their primary request is the collection of credible evidence for use in the International Criminal Court.

Finally, Mr. Gerald Kador Folkvord stated that the information provided by the PDKI representatives will be forwarded to the relevant investigators for assessment, and the importance of legal follow-up and international attention was reiterated.
