Amin Jahangiri, a Kurdish resident of Urmia, was arrested two weeks ago by the security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and transferred to an unknown location. The violent nature of his arrest has raised concerns about his health in the detention center.

According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, at four o'clock in the morning on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, Amin Jahangiri, a 31-year-old resident of the village of Qaleh Sardar in the Nazluchay district of Urmia, was violently arrested by Iranian security forces.

Informed sources indicate that since the day of Amin Jahangiri's arrest, no information about his condition has been made available to his family and relatives.

Hengaw's sources report that during the arrest, the Iranian security forces broke the door and windows to enter Amin Jahangiri's family home, subsequently throwing him down from the second floor, resulting in injuries. Additionally, his mother and sister were beaten and disrespected after resisting the security forces.

To date, there is no detailed information about the reasons for Amin Jahangiri's arrest, the charges against him, or his current whereabouts.
