According to an informed source speaking to Kurdpa; on July 27, 2026, "Naser Rasoulzadeh", a Kurdish youth from the village of "Gawmish Goli" in Miandoab, was arrested by security forces without presenting a judicial warrant and subsequently transferred to a security detention center in Urmia. Until now, no information is available regarding his exact place of detention and fate.

Until the time of publication of this news, no information is available regarding the reasons for the arrest and possible charges against this Kurdish citizen, and security forces have offered no explanation in this regard.

In the official divisions of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the village of "Gawmish Goli" is considered part of the district of the city of Miandoab; however, since long ago, this village was part of Bukan, and its residents also consider it to be part of the district of the city of Bukan, believing this change in country divisions was carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran with the aim of altering the demographics of the region.
