Update on Ali Mohammadi, detained father of ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ protest victim

Hengaw – Monday, December 22, 2025

Ali Mohammadi, a member of Kurdistan’s justice-seeking families and the father of Shahriar Mohammadi, has been detained for 44 days after being arrested by Iranian government forces and transferred to Bukan Central Prison. He is facing what authorities have described as “security-related” charges.

Information received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights indicates that Ali Mohammadi, 56, a resident of Bukan, has been charged by the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office of Bukan with accusations including “separatism,” “affiliation with Komala,” and “communication with terrorist groups.”

The attribution of these charges comes despite statements from those close to Mohammadi, who say that this justice-seeking father has never been a member of any political party or organization. They describe the accusations as an attempt to fabricate a case against him in connection with his pursuit of justice.

Ali Mohammadi is currently being held in Ward 1, Section 8 of Bukan Central Prison, and his case has reportedly been assigned to Judge Fakhri.

Shahriar Mohammadi, Ali Mohammadi’s son, was killed at the age of 29 on the evening of Friday, November 18, 2022, after being shot directly by Iranian government forces during the “Woman, Life, Freedom” (Jin, Jiyan, Azadi) protests in Bukan.
