On December 2, Mamusta Hassan Amini, the imam of the village of "Mallalr" in Bokan, and "Mamusta Mohyeddin Mohammadzadeh", the imam of the village of "Nobar" in Bokan, were arrested by security forces.

According to a source informed by Kurdpa, security forces arrested these two Kurdish clerics without presenting a judicial warrant.
