HRANA – Parsa Ghasemi, a resident of Behbahan, was arrested yesterday, September 2, by agents of the IRGC Intelligence.
Based on information obtained by HRANA, 18-year-old Parsa Ghasemi’s arrest is connected to the publication of critical content on social media.
Despite the family’s inquiries with security institutions to learn about their son’s fate, officials have refused to provide clear answers, which has heightened the Ghasemi family’s concerns.
No information is available regarding the charges brought against this citizen.
Over the past decade, Iran’s Judiciary has dramatically escalated its use of imprisonment as a tool of repression, with the total number of months sentenced for peaceful expression more than quadrupling from about 4,500 months in 2013 to over 26,000 months in 2024.
