Danyal Rahmani, a computer engineering student at Sanandaj Azad University and from Kamyaran, Kurdistan Province, is a member of a dadkhah family (a Persian term used for victims’ relatives and survivors seeking truth and justice).
In recent years, he has been repeatedly summoned and interrogated by the Ministry of Intelligence in Kamyaran.
Arrest
Rahmani was arrested on 6 June 2026 after Ministry of Intelligence forces raided his family home in Kamyaran.
Defendant’s Rights
He was arrested without a warrant and has since been denied access to legal representation and family visits.
Despite repeated efforts by his family to obtain information about his fate, security and judicial authorities have refused to provide any explanation regarding his situation.
Current Status
Rahmani is being held in solitary confinement at the detention facility of the Ministry of Intelligence in Sanandaj.
Additional Information
Kajal Rahmani and Isa Feyzi, his sister and brother-in-law, were also arrested by Ministry of Intelligence forces at the same time as his arrest.
His brother, Jamal Rahmani, a member of the leadership council of the Democratic and Free Society of East Kurdistan (KODAR), was killed by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces in 2018. In recent years, his family have repeatedly contacted security agencies in Kamyaran and Sanandaj to seek the return of his body or information about his burial place, but have not received any response.
