 On Friday, September 4, two Kurdish citizens, Suleman Karimpour and Khaled Mohammadzadeh Aghdam, from the village of Khor Khoreh in Mahabad, were arrested by Revolutionary Guards.

 These two citizens were arrested while farming on their land and transferred to an unknown location.

 So far, the efforts of the families of these two citizens to find out about their fate and whereabouts have been fruitless.

 No information is available on the reason for the arrests and the charges against the two citizens.

 On the other hand, in recent days, a Kurdish citizen named "Saber Salehi" from the town of "Hasanabad" in Sanandaj has been arrested by security forces and transferred to an unknown location.

 The arrest of this Kurdish citizen took place without any court order and the exact reason for the arrest and the charges against this citizen has not been obtained.
