Abdolghafour Azizi, Chabahar, Qasr-e Qand

HRANA News Agency – On Wednesday, May 21, Abdolghafour Azizi, a resident of Chabahar, was arrested by security forces in the city and taken to an undisclosed location.

According to Haal Vsh, the individual has been identified as Abdolghafour Azizi, approximately 65 years old, a retired employee of the Water and Wastewater Department, originally from Qasr-e Qand and currently residing in Chabahar.

According to the report, Mr. Azizi was arrested at his private residence without a judicial warrant. Following his arrest by security forces, he was transferred to an unknown location.

As of now, no information is available regarding the reasons for his arrest, his whereabouts, or the charges against him.

Arbitrary arrests, transferring detainees to undisclosed locations, and leaving families in the dark about the fate of their loved ones are routine practices of the Iranian regime’s security agencies, such as the Ministry of Intelligence and the IRGC Intelligence Unit. This pattern of behavior stands in clear violation of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, known as the Nelson Mandela Rules.

The Revolutionary Court of Zahedan sentenced Elham Ostadi, a resident of Iranshahr, to one year in prison, according to Resanak.

Branch Two of the Zahedan Revolutionary Court issued the sentence, convicting her of “propaganda against the regime.”

The charges against Ostadi stem from her Instagram posts, where she protested the rape of a 15-year-old girl by the former police chief of Chabahar.

Elham Ostadi, a 30-year-old resident of Iranshahr, was arrested by security forces in August of 2023. She was released on bail on September 2, 2022, after posting a 200-million-toman bond (approximately 4000 dollars).

The report also mentioned that Ostadi had previously been fined for “disturbing public opinion” in a separate case.

Local sources had earlier reported that on September 1, 2022, Ebrahim Kouchakzai, the police chief of Chabahar, lured a 15-year-old girl to his private quarters under the pretext of interrogation and raped her. This incident sparked protests across Sistan and Baluchestan province.

In February of 2022, the judiciary announced that Kouchakzai had been convicted by the Military Court of Sistan and Baluchestan for the rape of the 15-year-old girl in the village of Sedighzahi. He was sentenced to imprisonment and dismissed from public service.

On November 26, two inmates faced execution in Adelabad Prison in Shiraz and Chabahar (Chah Bahar) Prisons.

Reza Rastkhiz, 37 years old, was executed at Adelabad Prison for drug-related offenses that led to his arrest three years ago, as reported by the Iran Human Rights Organization.

These executions add to the ongoing discussions surrounding the application of capital punishment in Iran and raise questions about the nature of justice in cases involving drug offenses and murder convictions. The human rights implications of such decisions continue to be a subject of global concern and scrutiny.

According to data compiled by the Center of Statistics of Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRA), between October 10, 2022, and October 8, 2023, a total of 659 individuals were executed by hanging in Iran, representing a 24% increase compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. Seven of these executions were conducted publicly. Concerningly, many of the defendants were denied access to a fair trial and due process. For details and statistics, read HRANA’s report.
