Kurdish United Front

The Kurdish United Front (Kurdish: بەرەی يەکگرتووی كورد; Persian: جبهه متحد كرد; abbreviated KUF) is an ethnic political organization associated with Kurds in Iran which operates inside Iran.

The organization works within the framework of constitution of Iran, eschews violence and separatism, while demanding democracy and minority rights.

[5] According to a Chatham House report, it is permitted by the Iranian government, however policies "make it very difficult" for them to "operate freely and their positions, which must by necessity be moderate and mostly passive, cannot compete with firmer Kurdish nationalist rhetoric from outside Iran".

[4] It was established in January 2006 by former MP Bahaedin Adab and belongs to the reformist tendency.

[3] Based on a 2006 poll, the majority of Iranian Kurds support the movement.
