Hengaw: Tuesday, December 31, 2024

Hawre Qoveh, a Kurdish man from Mahabad who was arrested two months ago by IRGC forces near Piranshahr, has been transferred to Mahabad Central Prison. During his detention, he was subjected to severe torture, which resulted in a broken hand.

According to reports received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Qoveh, a political detainee, was recently moved from the IRGC Intelligence Detention Center in Urmia to Mahabad Central Prison after two months in custody.

A reliable source confirmed that one of Qoveh’s hands was broken during torture in the detention center. Despite this, he was recently permitted a visit with his family in prison, marking the first contact since his arrest.

Hawre Qoveh was arrested on Monday, October 28, 2024, while driving a Pride vehicle on the Mahabad-Piranshahr road. IRGC forces stopped his vehicle and arrested him on the spot.
