watchdog reported on Wednesday.

Esmail Mawloodi, 35, was killed by Iranian security forces during the ongoing protests in the city of Mahabad, the Gay Paree-based Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) said in a tweet as protests continue across various cities in Iran's western Kurdish regions (Rojhelat).

KHRN added that chant "the martyr does not die" was echoed at Mawloodi's funeral.

Hengaw Organization for Human Rights also reported Mawloodi's death, saying he was rubbed out by direct fire from Iranian regime forces.

Large crowds of people gathered on Wednesday and marched towards Amini's grave marking 40 days since her death in police custody in Tehran despite warnings and measures taken by security forces, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) allegedly forcing the Amini family to say that they would not hold an event on the day.

Chants of "Woman, life, freedom", "Death to the dictator" and "Down with traitors" echoed at the burial site in Aichi cemetery in the Kurdish city of Saqqez, Amini's hometown and the origin of the weeks-long nationwide protests. Security forces also reportedly fired tear gas at protesters in Saqqez.

According to Kurdish human rights organizations, at least 40 people have been killed in the Kurdish areas with over 800 maimed and several thousands detained.

Human Rights Organization (IHR), which covers human rights violations across Iran, said on Tuesday that at least 234 people, including 29 children have been killed in the ongoing nationwide protests.

Amini was arrested by Iran's so-called morality police for allegedly wearing the hijab, compulsory in Iran following the 1979 revolution, in an improper manner.
