Another Kurdish civilian, Mohammad Amin Kanaani, from the village of Takhteh in the Sanandaj area, was arrested on 16 October after he was asked over a phone call conversation to go to the headquarters of the Sanandaj Intelligence Bureau, from where he was taken to the Intelligence Ministry’s detention facility in the city of Sanandaj.
Several Iranian Kurdish civil society activists have also been summoned and interrogated in Marivan, Sanandaj, Kamyaran and Saqqez in addition to the ongoing detention of the civilians.
KHRN statistics show that Iranian security forces have since October arrested and interrogated at least 30 Kurdish civilians.
