Hengaw: Monday, February 17, 2025
The identities of three more protesters detained during the protests in Dehdasht, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province have been confirmed as Shahriar Heshmat-Nasab, Reza Yeganeh, and Shahram Nouranian. Among them, two were shot at the time of their arrest. With these newly identified detainees, the total number of confirmed arrests has risen to twelve.
According to a report received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Shahriar Heshmat-Nasab, Reza Yeganeh, and Shahram Nouranian, three residents of Dehdasht, were arrested by IRGC Intelligence forces on the night of Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
Sources report that the vehicle carrying Shahriar Heshmat-Nasab and Shahram Nouranian was fired upon by IRGC Intelligence forces in the “Tang Pirza” area of Dehdasht. The two were then forced out of the car, forcibly arrested, and taken to an undisclosed location.
Previously, the identities of nine other detainees had been confirmed: Atefeh Tahernia, Amirhossein Jafari, Kamran Bozari, Jaber Foroughi, Pouria Barati, Hossein Parisaei, Alireza Parisaei, Hamid Parisaei, and Ahmad Nourmohammadi.
Among them, Ahmad Nourmohammadi, known as "Ahmad Lolo," has been accused of leading the protests in Dehdasht. Security agencies have claimed that he is an Afghan national.
Additionally, state-affiliated media have labeled the charges against the other detainees as "disrupting public order and security."
The list of detainees includes two minors: Amirhossein Jafari, 17, and Kamran Bozari, 16, both of whom were arrested on the night of Tuesday, February 11.
It is worth noting that Atefeh Tahernia was previously detained by security forces during the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" (Woman, Life, Freedom) movement and suffered baton-inflicted injuries.
During these protests, which took place from February 9 to 13, protesters chanted slogans such as "This year is the year of blood, Seyed Ali will be overthrown," "Death to the Islamic Republic," and "Death to the dictator."
