In a distressing incident, 18-year-old Baloch college student Sepehr Shirani, hailing from Fanuj city, has lost his life in the custody of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Sepehr, detained two days ago, was reportedly subjected to fatal torture.
The Hengaw Organization for Human Rights received a report confirming Sepehr Shirani's death, with details suggesting he was murdered under torture in the IRGC's detention center. According to Haalvesh news agency the intelligence department of Zahedan IRGC informed Sepehr's family of his demise two days after his arrest.
Despite the gravity of the situation, the IRGC and the Iranian judicial system have yet to provide a satisfactory explanation for Sepehr Shirani's death. Additionally, the responsible parties have withheld the student's body from his grieving family.
Worth noting is that Sepehr Shirani was apprehended by the IRGC in Zahedan on January 30, allegedly for "social media activities." The lack of transparency surrounding this case raises concerns about human rights violations and the need for a thorough investigation.
