Iranian Occupation Arrests Ahwazi Activist Ahlam Bandar
The Iranian occupation authorities have arrested Ahwazi cultural and civil activist Ahlam Bandar in Al-Ahwaz capital and taken her to an unknown location. No further details have been released about the reasons for her arrest or her current status.
Additionally, the Iranian occupation authorities blocked the website and Instagram page of Ahlam Bandar, the Ahwazi cultural and civil activist.
Ahlam Bandar runs a library in the Arfesh area of Al-Ahwaz capital, where Arabic books are sold, and cultural events are organized to promote Arab identity in the face of Persianization efforts.
Her arrest comes amid an escalating wave of detentions targeting Ahwazi cultural and civil activists, sparking widespread concerns among human rights activists and the local community.
Observers have noted that the targeting of Ahwazi cultural and civil activists by the Iranian occupation is part of broader plans to undermine the Arab identity of Al-Ahwaz.
