Kurdish activists Viyan Mohammadi, Farzad Samani, and Sakar Eini have been transferred from the detention centre of the Intelligence Organisation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) IN Orumiyeh to the quarantine ward of the city’s central prison. There is no information on the situation of Mohammad Houshangi, who was held in the same place with the three activists.
Farouq Samani, Farzad Samani’s brother, spoke to the Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) and said that Farzad Samani and Sakar Eini, who were arrested by forces of the Intelligence Organisation of the IRGC in Tehran on 9 January, were taken to the quarantine ward of the Orumiyeh Central Prison for temporary detention.
He added that the two detained activists had a short phone call with their families this morning, and Farzad Samani, who went on hunger strike on 30 May to protest against the extension of his temporary detention, ended his strike yesterday.
The civil rights activist and student of management Viyan Mohammadi, who was arrested on 30 April by the Intelligence Organisation of the IRGC at her home in Tehran, has told her family in a short phone call that she would be released on bail.
Reportedly, activist Mohammad Houshangi, who was arrested by the Intelligence Organisation of the IRGC on 10 January, is still being held in the detention centre of the Intelligence Organisation of the IRGC in Al-Mahdi base in Orumiyeh, being denied of communication with and visits by his family ever since his arrest.
More than 120 Kurdish civilians and activists were arrested by the Intelligence Organisation of the IRGC and Ministry of Intelligence during a wave of arrests of Kurdish activists in various cities in January and February.
