According to credible sources, Ghasem Mozaffari, a young protester from Ahwaz, was arrested on Tuesday, January 6, by security forces at his residence in the Zeytun Karmandi neighborhood.
Reports indicate that Mozaffari had previously participated in public demonstrations against rising prices and in support of fellow protesters, during which he carried a protest banner. Following his identification by security forces and plainclothes agents, he was taken into custody. No official information has been released regarding the arresting authority, his place of detention, or his legal status.
The arrest of citizens for exercising their right to peaceful protest constitutes a clear violation of fundamental rights and international human rights standards.
