According to the reports received by Hana human rights organization colleagues: During the past few days, a Kurdish teenager with the identity of "Ashkan Abbasi", 16 years old, the son of Rahman, from the village of "Atmish" in Mahabad, had an accident while cleaning the tank of the combine. Ashkan Abbasi was a child laborer and apprentice combine driver.
An informed source in a conversation with Hana added; When Ashkan Abbasi was cleaning the tank of the combine, the jack broke and the rear chamber of the combine fell on Ashkan's head, and this incident caused a brain injury and severed his spinal cord.
Also, this source added in the continuation of the conversation; The doctors have informed Ashkan's parents that there is no hope for their child's recovery.
According to this source, Ashkan Abbasi's parents have agreed to donate their child's organs.
It should be noted that Ashkan Abbasi was taken to a hospital in Bukan for medical treatment after being injured and then transferred to a hospital in Orumieh due to the severity of his injuries.
According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the work of teenagers is a clear violation of human rights, but in Kurdistan, teenagers are forced to do hard work due to the abject poverty.
