The UN, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the Special Rapporteur must hold the regime accountable for the status of these individuals and visit their places of detention
Terrified of the rising tide of the uprising and the warm reception of rebellious youths and Resistance Units by the youth, the bloodthirsty dictatorship ruling Iran has resorted to widespread arrests, in parallel with continuous executions and pressure on the families and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). There is no information regarding the status and whereabouts of some of those arrested in May, June, and July, and they are inevitably being subjected to interrogation and torture. The names and details of some of them are as follows:
- Abolhasan Gholamreza-Nasab, 42, from Sarbaz, father of one. Arrested in Bam in May 2026.
