Despite three days since the arrest of a poet and civil activist known as “Anwar Arab” from the city of Bukan by the security forces, no information has been received about his fate and whereabouts.

Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) has been informed that on Tuesday, July 02, Bukan Intelligence Bureau officers arrested Anwar Arab at his home while inspecting the house and seizing some personal belongings before transferring him to an unknown location.

There is still no news about the fate of this activist despite the follow-up of his family from court and the Bukan Intelligence Office in the past few days. They have been told that the activist had been transferred to one of the Orumiyeh security detention centres for interrogations.

Anwar Arab, a poet and civil activist, is a member of the Bukan Literary Association.
