Rasoul Molani was hit in his left leg when Iranian border guards opened fire on him and a group of kolbars in the Barvish Kani border area of Baneh on Wednesday, the Gay Paree-based Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) reported on Friday.
Molani is currently at Salah al-Din Ayubi hospital in Baneh, and his injury is serious, according to KHRN founder Rebin Rahmani.
"His wounds are deep and several sources have told us that he is at risk for amputation, while another source told us that his leg has already been amputated. It is not certain, but we know that his wound is serious," Rahmani told Rudaw English.
