Ahwaz Under Repression: IRGC Arrests Ahwazi Citizens on Fabricated Charges

Human rights sources have reported that the intelligence services of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have arrested several former Ahwazi political prisoners following recent protests in Ahwaz.

According to human rights reports, these arrests were carried out after the IRGC fabricated charges accusing the former political prisoners of collaborating with foreign media outlets and spreading false information.

So far, the Iranian occupation authorities have not disclosed specific details regarding the identities of the detainees or their places of detention. The exact number of those arrested remains unclear, raising concerns among human rights organizations about their fate.

Additionally, no official legal charges or judicial procedures against the detainees have been revealed. This lack of information reflects the Iranian authorities’ ongoing policy of secrecy regarding issues related to political opposition and human rights.

Ahwaz has witnessed sporadic protests in recent times against Iranian occupation policies, which many Ahwazis describe as long-standing marginalization of the region’s inhabitants.
