HRANA – Yesterday, November 30, Shahrouz Sadidi and Shokouh Sadidi, residents of Sabzevar, were arrested by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence in this city and transferred to an unknown location.

Shahram Sadidi, the brother of Shahrouz and Shokouh Sadidi, announced their arrest by posting on his social media pages. He stated that the arrests took place this morning, separately, by agents of the Sabzevar branch of the Ministry of Intelligence at their respective homes.

So far, no information has been obtained regarding the reasons for their arrest, their whereabouts, or the charges against them.

It should be noted that Shahram Sadidi has previously faced arrest and judicial actions due to his activities and is currently living outside Iran.

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: “Every prisoner shall have the right, and shall be given the ability and means, to inform immediately his or her family, or any other person designated as a contact person, about his or her imprisonment, about his or her transfer to another institution and about any serious illness or injury. The sharing of prisoners’ personal information shall be subject to domestic legislation.”
