 A Kurdish citizen from Mahabad, named Sohrab Avizkan, has been kidnapped by the Iranian government forces for more than four months and is still being held in indeterminate custody.

 According to the report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Sohrab Aviskan, married and father of a child, who was kidnapped by the IRGC Forces during the recent protests in Mahabad, is still in prison and his case is in abeyance. 

 This citizen's family’s follow-ups continue while the Iranian government institutions have not provided a precise answer regarding his fate and his case.
