Yesterday evening, a young Kolbar from Piranshahr died of frostbite in Piranshahr Heights.

Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) has been informed that, on the evening of December 12, a young Kolbar, Zanyar Azizzadeh lost his life after losing his path in the darkness in the Alaneh district of Piranshahr. His dead body was found after a few hours by other Kolbars and the local people.

Kolbars who have to take up this job to earn a living more often lose their life due to different reasons such as being shot dead by the military forces, frostbite, avalanches fall, falling from height or landmine explosion. According to data collected by KHRN, Sardasht, Piranshahr and Orumiyeh frontier elevations are deadly routes for the Kolbars.
