The Iranian government forces in Javanroud transferred six Kurdish citizens named Yasser Hedayati, Idris Badiei, Shahin Khodamoradi, Osama Yousefi, Yahya Abdi, and Idris Fathi to an unknown location after their abduction.

According to the report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Yaser Hedayati, 30 years old and a resident of Javanroud, was abducted by the intelligence forces of the IRGC on Sunday, January 1, 2023, at his home.

Also, on Saturday, December 31, 2022, Idris Badiei, a resident of "Bikheira" village, near Salas Babajani, was kidnapped by Iranian government forces in the city of Javanroud.
