Commemorative ceremony of Peshraw Dizayee held in Erbil

ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The commemorative ceremony of Peshraw Dizayee and his 11-month old daughter, Zhina, was held on Saturday in Erbil. A photo gallery was dedicated to his life during the proceedings.

Delegates from different political parties, high ranking officials and the immediate and extended family of Mr. Peshraw Dizayee participated in the commemoration that was held in Saad Abdullah Hall in Erbil. The photo gallery displayed photos of Mr. Peshraw Dizayee and his 11-month daughter as well as the scene of the struck residence.

On Monday Jan. 15, 2024, at least three ballistic missiles fired by Iran hit the private residence of renowned Kurdish businessman Peshraw Dizayee in northern Erbil city during a family gathering, in which four people were killed, including Dizayee and his 11-month daughter.

Furthermore, Dizayee’s son, Rawan Peshraw Dizaiy, was also severely injured in last night’s missile attack.

The attacks drew widespread condemnation from Western countries as well as the United Nations. Baghdad recalled its ambassador from Tehran in protest of what it described as a violation of its sovereignty.

The Iraqi government later filed an official complaint to the United Nations Security Council on the attacks.

The IRGC similarly targeted another residence of a Kurdish businessman in 2022, resulting in significant material damage to the mansion.
