Iranian authorities continue to arrest Arab activists in the cities of Ahvaz, Khoramshahr, Sosangerd, and Abadan following an attack on a military parade in late September in the southwestern city of Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan province.
Human Rights activists say hundreds of people have been arbitrarily detained so far despite a September 24 statement by Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence stating that only 22 people were arrested with links to the attack on the military parade.
The Ministry also published a video showing the detainees with blindfolds facing a wall.
Reports indicate that some of the arrests incorporated whole families with even children being detained.
The names (and ages if available) of some of the detainees who have been identified by human rights activists are as follows:
