According to Balochistan Human Rights Group, on September 21st, a Baloch citizen was arrested by the security forces in Zahedan during a nationwide protest.

The identity of this Baloch citizen “Shahab Shoaibi” (Sarani), about 27 years old, the son of Mahuddin from Zahedan, has been detained.

It is said that despite the repeated follow-ups of this citizen’s family, no correct and accurate answer has been provided by the security agencies, and the only thing the family knows about his situation is that they accused him of being a leader in the protests. Still 40 days after his arrest no charges has been made.

According to witness Shahab has bee tortured in the detention center and his case has been referred to the court.

Not allowing the accused to make contact with his family, as well as the lack of accountability and clarification of the security institutions about the detainees, has caused the families of these people to have grave concerns for their children.
