A Kurdish-Turkish citizen, who had been transferred to the Orumiyeh Central Prison after two months of interrogation at the Orumiyeh Intelligence detention center in late August, has now been transferred to the Intelligence Bureau for “further interrogation,” a source aware of the case told the Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN).
Hatem Ozdemir, a Kurdish citizen from Turkey, was arrested on 2 July 2019 following armed clashes between Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and the Hamza Seyyed al-Shohada force affiliated to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) of Orumiyeh in the Chaldiran border area.
Ozdemir was detained and transferred to the Ministry of Intelligence Detention Centre in Orumiyeh immediately after he had fell unconscious when he was hit by a mortar shell amid the clashes. .
