Hazhar Walizada, a political activist living in Iraqi Kurdistan and brother of Karo Ghfouri, told Hana Human Rights Organization:
 According to our information, In the last few days, after a non-Kurdish sergeant felt afraid of the presence of Peshmerga forces in the region, he acted to insult the people of Kurdistan and the parties of Kurdistan, and then this attitude was met with a reaction from Karo Ghafouri.
He added: "This argument lasts for a few days, then these disputes cause a severe verbal conflict between the two people, and eventually the Turkish sergeant kills him."

 It should be noted that Karo Ghafouri, a 18-year-old man from Bukan, who died on Saturday, July 31, 2021, with a firearm at a military base in the city of Khoy, was exempt from combat and was not allowed to use a firearm. Karo's death was reported as suspicious, and the forensic doctor also informed the Ghafouri family that we would not report the cause of your son's death to you until the end of the burial.
