Fate of Ramin Mohammadi and Mohammad Dashti remains unknown 14 days into detention

Hengaw — Monday, November 24, 2025

Two Kurdish men from Kamyaran, Ramin Mohammadi and Mohammad Dashti, have been detained for two weeks by Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence. Both are relatives of Pezhman Fatehi, the Kurdish political prisoner executed two years ago in Ghezel Hesar, and their fate remains unknown.

Based on information obtained by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Mohammadi, 32, and Dashti, 33, both from the village of Alak near Kamyaran, have now been held for 14 days without access to their families. Their condition and legal status remain unclear.

Mohammadi and Dashti are close relatives of Fatehi. Fatehi was executed on Monday, January 29, 2024, along with three other Kurdish political prisoners (Mohsen Mazloum, Vafa Azarbar and Mohammad (Hazhir) Faramarzi) in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj. The bodies of all four men were never returned to their families.

Mohammadi had previously been arrested by the Ministry of Intelligence and later released on temporary bail of two billion tomans. He had spent a period in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq as a member of the Komala party before leaving the party and returning to his hometown.

Dashti has also been arrested in the past for his activities and was sentenced to one year in prison, which he completed before being released.

According to informed sources, the charge now attributed to Mohammadi and Dashti is “contact with a Kurdish party.”

These sources added that officials from the Ministry of Intelligence in Sanandaj insulted and threatened family members who attempted to seek information about the two men.

Both men were arrested at 5 a.m. on Monday, November 10, 2025, in Alak village and transferred to a Ministry of Intelligence detention facility in Sanandaj.

The arrests were carried out with extreme violence, and both Mohammadi and Dashti were beaten and insulted by Intelligence agents.
