A man named Sadegh Fuladivanda from Gachsaran was killed under severe torture after being abducted by the IRGC intelligence forces. The body of this child labor activist was found in one of the streets of Gachsaran after 18 days of being abducted by the forces.

According to the report received by the Hengaw Human Rights Organization, the body of Sadegh Fuladivanda, 29, from the Qashqai tribe of Gachsaran, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, was found on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, after 18 days of being abducted by the government forces in one of the canals of the streets of this city while his hands and feet were bound.

Hengaw was informed that Sadegh Fuladivanda's body was discovered close to Kabirpas Passage in the Gachsaran taxi station and that his uncle and father were unable to recognize him from his face due to the extent of his injuries; they could only recognize him from the tattoos on his body.

According to an informed source, the forensic doctor of Gachsaran stated the time of death of Sadegh Fuladivanda was 24 hours before his body was found.

Hengaw has been informed that this man was abducted on Friday, February 3, 2023, in one of the streets of Gachsaran by IRGC intelligence forces. The efforts of Fuladivanda's family during the days of detention to find out about his fate have been fruitless, and until his body was found, they had no information about him.

According to his friends, he was an athlete and a shoemaker on the streets of Gachsaran. He was also an activist against child labor.
