Ahmadian was arrested by the Ministry of Intelligence of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Sardasht, West Azerbaijan Province, on 5 October 2010.

He was held in solitary confinement for 230 days in security detention centres in Sardasht, Saqqez, and Sanandaj, where he endured severe interrogation and torture.

His family had no information about his whereabouts and condition for a long time, and initially, the Ministry of Intelligence denied his detention.

On 15 March 2011, Ahmadian was sentenced to 30 years of imprisonment and exile to Minab Prison by the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Saqqez, on charges of “enmity against God” (moharebeh) through membership of the Komala of the Toilers of Kurdistan.

He was also sentenced in two cases in 2008 and 2011 for “unauthorized crossing of the country’s borders” to pay a fine of one million rials to the government treasury and one year of imprisonment.

Ahmadian, who spent the first years of his imprisonment in Saqqez and Sanandaj prisons, is currently being held in Tehran’s Evin Prison.

His physical condition is critical and concerning due to severe torture during detention and his affliction with multiple diseases, including testicular infection and duodenal cancer during harsh imprisonment.

Despite doctors’ recommendations and his urgent need for treatment outside prison, security institutions and prison authorities refrain from granting him medical furlough.

– In September 2018, he was transferred from Sanandaj Central Prison to Evin Prison.

– In mid-2019, he was transferred from Evin Prison to Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj, Alborz Province.

– On 2 August 2023, following the closure of Rajai Shahr Prison, he was transferred to Evin prison along with some other political prisoners.

– In January 2020, through a letter released from inside the prison, he provided details about his deteriorating physical health and the illnesses he contracted during his detention and imprisonment.

1. Article 279 of the Islamic Penal Code: “Moharebeh (enmity against God) is defined as drawing a weapon with the intention of killing, stealing from, or intimidating people in a way that causes insecurity in the environment.” According to Article 282 of the Islamic Penal Code, “if a person commits the crime of moharebeh, they will be sentenced to crucifixion, execution, amputation of the right hand and left foot, or exile, at the discretion of the judge.”

2. Komala of the Toilers of Kurdistan: The Komala of Revolutionary Toilers of Iranian Kurdistan, known as Komala, a Marxist-Leninist organisation with Maoist inclinations, after nearly a decade of clandestine activities, publicly declared its establishment on 15 February 1979, simultaneously with the victory of the 1979 revolution.

In 1984, Komala and several other leftist Iranian groups founded the Communist Party of Iran (CPI), and Komala was renamed to Komala Kurdistan’s Organisation of the Communist Party of Iran.

In 2000, part of the party’s leadership and members, under a project entitled “Reviving Komala,” split from the CPI and reverted to their original name before the formation of the CPI; the Komala of Revolutionary Toilers of Iranian Kurdistan or Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan.

In 2007, due to internal disagreements, a group split from this party and established the Komala of the Toilers of Kurdistan. They describe their party as a “Kurdistani leftist party” aiming to achieve “the right to self-determination for the Kurdish nation” in Iranian Kurdistan. The central headquarters of this party is in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
