HRANA News Agency – Javad Mobarra, a 25-year-old resident of Tehran, has been held incommunicado for 16 days following his arrest by security forces. His current whereabouts and condition remain unknown.
According to information obtained by HRANA, Mobarra was arrested on Monday, May 5, in front of his home by plainclothes agents. An eyewitness reported: “Mr. Mobarra was standing outside his residence in casual clothing when a black car stopped in front of him. Two individuals in plainclothes exited the vehicle and took him into custody.”
Since his arrest, no official information has been released regarding his place of detention or legal status. The prolonged lack of communication has caused growing concern among his family members.
The reasons for Mobarra’s arrest and any charges against him have not been disclosed.
Sources told HRANA that late last year, Mobarra had been summoned and questioned by security agencies in connection with content he had posted on social media.
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.”
