HRANA – Saman Ghorbani, Kazem Azadeh, Naser Azarm, Akam Sheikheh, Hazhar Mohammadzadeh Aghdam, and Iman Mohammadzadeh, residents of Mahabad, were arrested by security forces and taken to an undisclosed location.
Kurdpa has identified the arrestees as :
• Saman Ghorbani from the village of Yal-Temer
• Kazem Azadeh and Naser Azarm, two citizens from the Khalifan district
• Akam Sheikheh, from the village of Qara Gheshlagh
• Hazhar Mohammadzadeh Aghdam and Iman Mohammadzadeh, from the village of Khorkhoreh.
According to the report, Ghorbani, Sheikheh, Mohammadzadeh, and Mohammadzadeh Aghdam were arrested early this morning at their family homes without a judicial warrant and with the use of force. The arrests of Kazem Azadeh and Naser Azarm were carried out on yesterday, December 9, by security forces.
As of the time of this report’s publication, no information has been obtained regarding the reasons for their arrest, their place of detention, or the charges brought against them.
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.
