Ali Rahimi

Ali Rahimi

.is a city in Kurdistan region with more than 50,000 inhabitants, southwest of Lake Urmia about 1,300 metres above sea level. It lies in the West Azarbaijan province. It was the first city in which civilians where attacked with chemical weapons by Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war. Although it happened even before Halabcha it didn't get much publicity at the time because Iran was being ignored by international community.The population of Sardasht is Kurdish.

As he worked in the hospital at Sardasht he was a witness to the chemical bombardment executed by the former Iraqi regime. He dedicated his life and money to help the victims of the chemical bombardment of Sardasht and later also the victims of the bombardment of Halabja.

In 1989 he moved to Holland and continued his quest to find the ones responsible for supplying the chemicals that helped the former Iraqi regime to create the dirty bombs. With the help of other high profile Kurds in the north of Iraq he was able to provide the evidence to bring Frans van Anraat to justice. "Ali Rahimi is now known as the Simon Wiesenthal of Kurdistan".Fact|date=September 2007

The main thing Ali rahimi achieved was, that trough the Anraat case, he forced a western court to acknowledge a crime was committed against Kurds. This is exceptional because usually the Kurds are addressed as Iranians, Turks, Syrian or Iraqis. This had never been done before. =External links=
