HRANA – Early this morning, two citizens identified as Taher Bapiran (Baram) and Siamand Esmaili were arrested by security forces in Piranshahr and transferred to an undisclosed location.

Based on this report by Kurdpa, the arrests were carried out without the presentation of a judicial warrant and were accompanied by violence, as security forces detained the two citizens at their family homes.

As of the time of this report, no information has been obtained regarding the reasons for their arrests, 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.
