A considerable number of Mahabad residents have reportedly been detained by IRI forces since Wednesday, November 16, 2022, according to the reports that the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights has received.

On the first day of this period, authorities detained Seyyed Ribwar Belkameh, a resident of Mahabad's "Sarchenar" hamlet.
