Kurdish Human Rights Network (KHRN): Although five months have passed since the transfer of the Kurdish civilian “Shakir Behroozi” residing at Morghoor Region of Orumiyeh from Orumiyeh Central Prison to the detention centre of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in this city, there is still no information available on his fate.
“This Kurdish civilian was previously a member of one of the Kurdish opposition parties. Last year, he returned to Orumiyeh upon his arrangement with the Intelligence Office of IRGC and receiving Safe Conduct Pass. However, he was arrested by the IRGC after three months, on Feb 17, 2019. “ a reliable source told KHRN.
The above source further said that this Kurdish Civilian had been transferred to the Orumiyeh Central Prison from the IRGC Detention Center just before the beginning of Iranian New but he had been returned back to this security centre at the end of New Year’s holidays.: “The IRGC is planning to show that this prisoner was killer of a member of IRGC organization, Hossein Barivan who was killed by unknown people in the village of Dizaj Morghoor of Orumiyeh in September 2014. “, the source added.
According to data gathered by the KHRN, over the past years, the Intelligence Bureaus of the state and IRGC in Tehran have been pressuring their offices in Kurdistan to find those who killed several of their members at different cities of Kurdistan. While their attempts to identify the main perpetrators of these killings have not been successful yet, these two military-security institutions have repeatedly tried to charge various people as the perpetrators of these killings based on unfounded allegations. As a result, a number of Kurdish civilians have been arrested and made to confess to these murders under severe physical and psychological tortures. Moreover, a number of Kurdish civilians have been executed in this regard so far.
