According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Saturday, July 13, 2024, each of the 66-year-old Osman Delsouz and 30-year-old Hazhār Delsouz were arrested after being summoned to the Piranshahr enforcement office and were transferred to the central prison in Naqadeh to serve their two-year sentences.
