During a telephone call with "Hengaw", he stated, "the intelligence forces have arrested my wife, Shataw Farooqi, and two of my children ‘Mohammad - 13 years old and Ala - 5 years old’ while returning from Istanbul at the Tabriz airport”.
However, Mohammad and Ala were released after three days, but Shataw was transferred to Sanandaj’s Information Ministry.
