HRANA – Yesterday, Hossein Amani, an Azerbaijani-Turk activist residing in Shabestar, was arrested by security forces in this county and transferred to an undisclosed location.

Based on information received by HRANA, Mr. Amani was arrested on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 by security forces at his workplace. This citizen had recently been summoned by security agencies.

As of the time of this report, no information is available regarding his whereabouts, the reasons for his arrest, or the charges against him.

Hossein Amani Nadarli, an Azerbaijani-Turk activist, has previously faced arrests and other security and judicial actions due to his activities.

Arbitrary arrests, transferring detainees to undisclosed locations, and leaving families in the dark about the fate of their loved ones are routine practices of the Iranian regime’s security agencies, such as the Ministry of Intelligence and the IRGC Intelligence Unit. This pattern of behavior stands in clear violation of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, known as the Nelson Mandela Rules.
