 According to an informed source, the security forces stormed the home of this teacher at 2 am without any legal document and detained him.

 On the other hand, on the evening of Saturday, October 1,  the security forces violently arrested  Sanan Khaledian from Dehgolan. 

Hengaw has been informed that the security forces have also confiscated the mobile phones of Sanan Khaledian, his father, and his brother.
