HRANA – On Monday, December 15, three citizens identified as Soheil Pakarazan, Ilya Imani, and Hossein Hajian, residents of Abdanan, were arrested by forces of the Ministry of Intelligence in the city and transferred to an undisclosed location.

Their identities have been reported by Kurdpa as Soheil Pakarzan, from the village of Haft Cheshmeh; Ilya Imani, from the village of Hezarani; and Hossein Hajian from Abdanan.

Based on this report, the arrests took place on Monday without the presentation of a judicial warrant and were carried out with the use of violence by Ministry of Intelligence forces.

As of now, no information is available regarding the whereabouts of these three citizens 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.
