SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Iran’s security forces have detained at least 90 Kurds in the country over the past three weeks, a watchdog said on Sunday.
Hengaw organization for human rights said in a tweet that the Iranian security forces made the arrests in Kermanshah, Paveh, Javanrood, Sarvabad, Marivan, Sanandaj, Kalatarzan, Baneh, Saqqez, Rabat, Bukan, Piranshahr, Naghadeh, Oshnaviyeh, Mahabad and Urmia.
Meanwhile, Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) cited families of the detainees as saying that the detentions were carried out “arbitrary and without court orders.”
It was not immediately clear on which basis they were arrested.
At least 205 political and civil activists, journalists, environmentalists were arbitrarily arrested without court orders or subjected to beatings and torture since 2020, the Kurdistan Human Rights Association said in November.
