 As a reaction to the threats and presence of the Islamic Republic's military forces in Marivan, kak Foad and the city council led the residents of Marivan to a camp outside of the city in an effort to avoid clashes and bloodshed with central government forces.This act of peaceful defiance brought the new Iranian government to the negotiation table and pressured the regime to accede to the demands of the people of Marivan.This historic trek initiated from Sanandaj was a demonstration against the detention of ten political activists by the authorities in Marivan and in support of people in that city.
