UK Home Office: Second major Kurdish party ("Country Assessment - October 2002") [#9556],  [ID 8355]

"Established 1969, merged with Union of Communist Fighters in 1983 to form Communist Party of Iran. 2 members of Komala reportedly executed 1992.
[...]
5.176. The Revolutionary Organization of the Toilers of Kurdistan (Komala) is the other major Kurdish party. While there are claims that is has existed as an underground organization since 1969, it first appeared publicly in 1983 as the Kurdish branch of the Communist Party of Iran. While it has often violently disagreed with the KDPI, the Komalah has supported the KDPI's stance for democracy and autonomy."

00.11.2001 - ACCORD: Komaleh activities curtailed as result of harsh actions initiated by Iranian government against opposition groups and due to changes in Eastern Europe and in the major Communist parties ("7th European Country of Origin Information Seminar Berlin, 11 - 12 June 2001: Final Report - Iran") [#7661],  [ID 8356]

"However, the KDPI as well as the Komaleh, the Kurdish branch of the
Communist Party of Iran, have seriously curtailed their activities. [...]
As a consequence of the harsh actions initiated by the Iranian government against these groups they do have no power base inside Iran. [...] In addition, as is the case for most Communist parties, events in
Eastern Europe and the changes in the major Communist parties have also had a devastating effect on Komaleh activities. Although KDPI and CPI-Komaleh have no power basis in Iran and mainly share some
facilities in Iraq, their members are at risk as they face incursions from the Iranian authorities."
