Ongoing Detention and Lack of Information on the Fate of Mina Soltani, Mother of Kurdish Slain Protester

Hengaw, Saturday, September 21, 2024

Despite 11 days having passed since the detention of Mina Soltani, a member of the Kurdish justice-seeking families, by the security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Bukan, there is still no information available regarding her fate.

According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on the evening of Wednesday, September 11, 2024, Mina Soltani, the mother of Shahriar Mohammadi, one of the victims of the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" movement in Bukan, was arrested during a raid by security forces at her home without any judicial warrant.

Milad Mohammadi and Esrin Mohammadi, children of this justice-seeking mother, announced on social media that the family’s efforts to obtain information about Dayeh Mina’s fate have been fruitless since her arrest, and security agencies have refrained from providing any information regarding her condition.

At the time of preparing this report, no precise information is available on the reasons for her arrest, the charges against her, or her current status.
