HRANA News Agency – Farhad Kadkhoda-Ghaderi, a resident of Mahabad, was arrested on Saturday, May 31, by intelligence agents of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and taken to an undisclosed location. His continued incommunicado detention has raised serious concerns among his family and loved ones.
The arrest was carried out violently and without a judicial warrant. Despite five days passing since his detention, his family’s efforts to obtain information about his condition and whereabouts have been unsuccessful, heightening their concerns.
As of the time of this report, the reasons for Kadkhoda-Ghaderi’s arrest and any charges against him remain unknown.
Farhad Kadkhoda-Ghadri is a resident of Sarchenar village, located in the Mahabad region.
Arbitrary arrests, transferring detainees to undisclosed locations, and leaving families in the dark about the fate of their loved ones are routine practices of the Iranian regime’s security agencies, such as the Ministry of Intelligence and the IRGC Intelligence Unit. This pattern of behavior stands in clear violation of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, known as the Nelson Mandela Rules.
