News Center- with increasing cases of arrests without judicial warrants, Iran is witnessing a new wave of human rights violations amid growing concern over the expanding scope of security targeting and the lack of transparency regarding the conditions of detainees.

Published reports indicate that security forces arrested the Kurdish citizen Zahra Mohammad Wali without a judicial warrant and transferred her to an unknown location eight days ago. Despite more than a week having passed since her arrest, security and judicial institutions have not issued any official clarification regarding the charges against her, her place of detention, or her health condition.

Security forces did not present any judicial warrant during the arrest process. After the citizen was transferred, her family was denied any communication or follow-up. According to the source, Zahra Mohammad Wali’s family has repeatedly contacted various institutions in recent days to inquire about her condition, but they have not yet received a clear response.

Denial of communication, a lawyer, and visitation

According to published information, Zahra Mohammad Wali has been denied the right to make phone calls, receive family visits, and access a lawyer over the past eight days, raising concerns about her physical and psychological condition.

The continued lack of information about the fate of Zahra Mohammad Wali comes at a time when the arrest of individuals without a judicial warrant, their detention in unknown locations, and the deprivation of detainees' basic rights are among the issues that have long faced criticism from human rights activists and organizations defending prisoners' rights.

Growing concerns

In recent years, numerous reports have been published about the arrest of Kurdish citizens by security agencies in various cities, arrests that have in many cases been accompanied by prolonged disregard for families, inability to access lawyers, and detention in security detention centers.

Human rights activists affirm that the continuation of arbitrary arrests, the lack of transparency regarding the conditions of detainees, in addition to causing severe psychological pressure on families, paves the way for widespread violations of citizens' fundamental rights.

As of the writing of this report, no official institution has taken responsibility for providing information about the situation of Zahra Mohammad Wali, and her fate remains unknown.
