Based on information received by HRANA, the arrest of this Baha’i citizen took place yesterday morning at Mr. Teimouri-Moghaddam’s residence. During the search, agents confiscated a number of his personal items, including electronic devices, books, and documents, and they also sealed his business. The arrest occurred despite the fact that Mr. Teimouri-Moghaddam suffers from high blood pressure and requires medical care, which has heightened the concerns of his family and those close to him.

Kambiz Teimouri-Moghaddam is the son of Rouhollah Teimouri-Moghaddam and a Baha’i citizen residing in Gorgan.

Over the past decade, the Iranian Bahá’í community has been disproportionately targeted by Iran’s security forces and judiciary—more than any other minority group. In the past three years, an average of 72 percent of the reports on religious rights violations collected by HRANA have documented the Iranian regime’s repression of the Bahá’í community.
