Arresting and summoning of citizens in Kurdistan reached 79 persons

23:04 - 26 January 2021

From December 27th to January 25th, the wave of arresting and summonses of Kurdish citizens in the cities of Mahabad, Marivan, Rabat, Sanandaj, Bokan, Sarvabad, Naqadeh, Piranshahr, Saqez, Kermanshah and Tehran took place by security forces, which is likely to be continued. 

 Such groups and arbitrary detentions, the systematic repression of activists in Kurdistan, their ignorance of their fate, and their interrogation and torture by intelligence agencies for forced confessions should be severely condemned and investigated by international human rights organizations.

 According to Kurdpa statistics;

 Of these, 72 persons were arrested and  7 were summoned to the Ettelaat Bureau and interrogated.
 3 of these citizens (Farzad Samani, Sohaib Badrouj and Bahman Yousefzadeh) were students.

 In this regard: 
Security forces pressured the families of the detained citizens to refrain from interviewing the media about their children's condition.
 Due to the pressure of the security agents on the detainees' families regarding the spreading of information about the detainees and their situation, it is likely that the number of detainees will exceed this number.
 The families of detainees, while expressing concern about the fate of their family members, reported that the security agencies and the judiciary have not provided the reason for their detention and where they are being held.  The city prosecutor's office also informed the families of detainees who were seeking a lawyer that it would not be possible for a lawyer to enter their case until the end of the interrogation period.
