HRANA News Agency – Yesterday, February 5, security forces in Bandar Abbas arrested 17-year-old Khaled Kashani and transferred him to an undisclosed location.

As he was spending time by the beach with a friend, security forces pursued him, fired warning shots, and forced him to stop. Without presenting a judicial warrant, they violently apprehended him, forced him into a vehicle, and took him to an unknown location.

According to the report, Kashani’s friend, who managed to escape, informed his family of the arrest. Despite their efforts to locate him by visiting local police stations, authorities have provided no information about his whereabouts or condition.

The reasons for his arrest and the charges against him remain unknown.
