On Tuesday, September 15, 2026; "Amir Soleimani," a 44-year-old Kurdish citizen from the village of "Khorkhore" in the Sharweran region of Mahabad and a family member of political activists residing abroad, was temporarily released from Mahabad Prison on a heavy bail of 10 billion tomans after 32 days of arbitrary detention.
According to an informed source, following the completion of his interrogation phase at a security facility in Urmia, he was transferred to Mahabad Prison on Thursday, September 10, 2026. Throughout his detention, he was completely denied access to legal counsel and family visitation rights.
On the morning of Saturday, August 15, 2026, security forces violently raided his residence and arrested him without presenting a judicial warrant, transferring him to an undisclosed location. Amir Soleimani is married and the father of two children. He is also the brother of "Hessam Soleimani," a political activist living abroad. Systematic pressure on the families of political activists residing outside Iran remains a recurring, intimidation-driven policy against Kurdish citizens.
As of this publication, official reasons for his arrest and any potential charges brought against him remain undisclosed.
