According to information obtained by Kurdpa, Ali Mawat from the Kurdish city of Bokan in North-west Iran has been missing for more than a month. Kurdpa reporter from the city also reported that this missing person’s brother, Rasul Mawat, was arrested 5 years ago where he is finishing his 7-year prison term.
Disappearance of political activists and Kurdish detainees in the Kurdish areas has become a norm, and according to human rights activists, in many cases, following several months of disappearances, activists surface in security and intelligence detention centres.
Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran had also reported the lack of information on the whereabouts of three other Kurdish political prisoners, Jamil Barez, Shahed Bahrami and Aso Mirzaie who were rounded up on May 28, 2008 in the city of Mariwan by the agents of the intelligence section of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
