Khomein: Nurse Seyed Behzad Saeedi Arrested and Sent to Prison

HRANA – Seyed Behzad Saeedi, a resident of Khomein, was arrested by security forces on Wednesday, October 22. He was charged the following day at the Khomein Prosecutor’s Office and subsequently transferred to the city’s prison under a two-month detention order.

A source close to the family confirmed the arrest to HRANA, stating: “Mr. Saeedi was arrested by agents of the IRGC Intelligence on Wednesday, October 22, at his father’s home and taken to The Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility. After one day, he was brought before the Khomein Prosecutor’s Office, where he was charged with ‘assembly and collusion to act against internal security’ and ‘propaganda against the regime.’ Following this, the prosecutor issued a two-month detention order, and he was transferred to Khomein Prison.”

According to this informed source, “sending photos of sensitive locations in the city to foreign media” has been cited as an example of the charges brought against Mr. Saeedi.

Seyed Behzad Saeedi, born in 1990, is a nurse and a native and resident of Khomein.
