The Iranian government contests this version of events. In the ensuing unrest, protests spread from Mahabad to other areas such as Sardasht City and other majority Kurdish areas of Iran. The hotel in Mahabad where the incident occurred was set on fire and burned down. Police subsequently used heavy force and teargas to disperse the protesters.
