Ilam: Arshia Gheysar Beigi Faces Charges of “Enmity Against God” and “Corruption on Earth”

HRANA – Arshia Gheysar Beigi, a resident of Sarableh in Ilam Province, was violently arrested by security forces on May 5, 2026. He is now facing charges of “moharebeh” (enmity against God) and “corruption on earth.”

Based on information received by HRANA, on May 6, 2026, the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office of Chardavol County charged him with “moharebeh” and “corruption on earth” and extended his detention order for two months. Allegations including “armed intimidation, purchasing and possessing weapons, and illegal shooting” were cited in the detention order.

A source familiar with the case told HRANA that following his arrest, Gheysar Beigi was subjected to intense pressure, and the confessions attributed to him were allegedly obtained under coercive conditions. According to the source, he is currently being held in a security detention facility, where interrogations are ongoing in solitary confinement, without access to adequate medical care.

The informed source added that since his arrest, Mr. Gheysar Beigi has been denied access to a lawyer and family visits. The severity of the beatings during his arrest reportedly resulted in fractures to his jaw, nose, and teeth, yet he has not received effective medical treatment despite his condition.

The report notes that these allegations have been raised despite existing reports regarding this citizen’s physical condition and detention circumstances, which indicate the use of violence during arrest and interrogation. This has cast serious doubt on the validity and credibility of the confessions attributed to him. Furthermore, although the detention order mentions a ten-day right to appeal, his lack of access to legal counsel and continued solitary confinement have made the practical use of this right unclear.

Arshia Gheysar Beigi was violently arrested on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, after security forces entered his home without presenting a judicial warrant.
