HRANA – Mousa-Alreza Zoghi Moghaddam, a 64-year-old resident of Mashhad, was arrested by security forces in the city yesterday and transferred to Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad.

Based on information received by HRANA, Zoghi Moghaddam was arrested by security forces at his residence on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. The arrest was reportedly carried out with violence.

An informed source close to his family confirmed the news to HRANA, stating that Zoghi Moghaddam was transferred to Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad following his arrest. He is facing a charge of “assembly and collusion against national security.” The source added that after his family made inquiries regarding his temporary release, they were informed that bail had been set at 400 million tomans.

According to the source, a summons had previously been issued to Zoghi Moghaddam, but he was unaware of it.

At the time of this report, no information was available regarding the specific acts underlying the charge against him.

Zoghi Moghaddam was previously arrested by security forces in Mashhad in late January 2026 and released on bail after one week. Following that arrest, he had multiple signs of physical assault, including extensive bruising on his arms and legs. He also reported being subjected to verbal abuse and insults during his arrest. His detention occurred after security agents confiscated his mobile phone and searched his Instagram account at a checkpoint.
