HRANA – Ehsan Arbab, a blogger, has been arrested following the publication of content on social media. Meanwhile, a video showing his forced confessions has been released, although the circumstances under which it was recorded remain unclear.

According to HRANA, blogger Ehsan Arbab has been arrested. Following his arrest, a video purportedly showing his forced confessions was released. In the video, the circumstances of whose recording remain unknown, Arbab expresses remorse over publishing social media content that he describes as “propaganda against the regime,” “insulting the Supreme Leader,” and “supporting protests.”

It is worth noting that his Instagram account has also been blocked by judicial order, and all its content has been deleted except for the video of his forced confession.

HRANA is investigating further details regarding the case, including the agency responsible for Arbab’s arrest, the location of his arrest, and his current place of detention.

The recording and broadcast of forced confessions constitute a violation of human dignity. Moreover, under the law, every individual is presumed innocent until a final conviction is issued by a court. Any punitive measures imposed prior to such a conviction constitute a violation of the individual’s fundamental civil and human rights.
