HRANA – Yaser Advaei and Salman Advaei, two residents of Sarvabad, were arrested yesterday by Ministry of Intelligence agents in this county and taken to an undisclosed location.

Based on information received by HRANA, in the early hours of Thursday, November 13, Yaser Advaei and Salman Advaei were arrested at their home in Sarvabad by Ministry of Intelligence forces without a judicial warrant. Their families’ efforts to obtain information about their situation have so far gone unanswered.

As of the time of writing, no information is available regarding their whereabouts, the reasons for their arrest, or the charges brought against them.

Salman Advaei and Yaser Advaei, residents of Selin village in Sarvabad County, Kurdistan Province, have previously been detained and convicted.

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.
