HRANA – Jalil Abbasi, a resident of Zanjan, has been detained for five days by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence and is being held in the city’s prison.

A source close to Mr. Abbasi’s family confirmed the arrest to HRANA, stating that he was detained on December 17 by Ministry of Intelligence agents in Zanjan and transferred to the city’s prison. He has been held in the quarantine ward of the prison since his arrest. As of the time of this report, no information has been made available regarding the reasons for his arrest or the charges against him.

Jalil Abbasi has previously faced arrest and judicial action 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.
