Iman Rahmatpanah was arrested

Iman Rahmatpanah, a Bahá’í citizen living in Shiraz, was arrested by security forces at his home in the presence of his children.

Agents of the Islamic Republic entered the residence, searched the premises, and confiscated personal belongings, including his phone, laptop, and Bahá’í religious books.

According to his family, Rahmatpanah is currently being held at the Intelligence Ministry’s detention center in Shiraz, known as “Pelak 100.” As of now, no official charges or reasons for his arrest have been disclosed.

This is not the first time Rahmatpanah has faced arrest due to his religious activities. His detention is part of the continued and escalating pressure on Iran’s Bahá’í community.
