Security forces detain a Bokani athlete

11:45 - 18 August 2020

 On Sunday, August 16, a Kurdish athlete named "Vahed Ebrahimian", the son of Mohammad Amin from Bokan, was arrested by security forces and taken to an unknown location.

 Security forces raided the athlete's private home without issuing a court order and arrested him.

 Security forces also searched his home and confiscated some of the Kurdish athlete's personal belongings, including his laptop and phone.

 So far, the efforts of the citizen's family to find out about his fate have been fruitless, and the security forces have refused to give a clear answer in this regard.

 No information is available on the reason for the arrest and the charges against the Kurdish athlete.

Vahed Ebrahimian is married and has two children.
