Concerns growing for Sunni youth taken to unknown location 10 days ago

HRANA News Agency – Concerns are growing for the welfare of a Sunni youth who was arrested and taken to an unknown location ten days ago. There has been no news about his condition or whereabouts.

 

According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), Ahmad Sohrabi, the son of an executed Sunni scholar, was arrested whilst travelling with friends on 18 February 2014 in Iranshahr, Sistan-Baluchestan province of Iran.

 

At the time of his arrest, Intelligence agents had told Ahmed’s friends that they could keep updated about his case at Ministry of Intelligence center in Iranshahr, however the center has not yet responded to any requests for information about him.

 

His family visited various Ministry of Information centers and Judicial institutions on Monday in an attempt to find him, however each center insisted that Ahmed was not in their custody, and told the family to look elsewhere.

 

Ahmad Sohrabi is the son of Shaykh Yusef Sohrabi, a famous Sunni scholar who was executed in 2008 in Zahedan prison, Sistan-Baluchestan province. His family was subjected to a continuous campaign of harassment since his execution, and were repeatedly summoned to the Intelligence Office and interrogated.
