According to the Balochistan Human Rights Group, on July 2, 2025, Amer Goharhamzehi, a former Baloch political prisoner, was arrested by the IRGC intelligence forces in Rask County and taken to an unknown location. He had visited a relevant center in Rask to follow up on the status of his confiscated vehicle when he was detained.

Amer Goharhamzehi was previously arrested on January 4, 2015, and after serving four and a half years in prison, he was released on heavy bail. On July 2, 2025, he was pursuing the status of the same confiscated vehicle, which is reportedly now being used personally by some officials, when he was rearrested.

His vehicle has been in the custody of the IRGC since 2013, following a security raid in Nasirabad. During that raid, several Baloch youths, including Amer Goharhamzehi, Musayb Vatan-Khah, and Abubakr Mollazehi, were arrested, and multiple vehicles were seized by the IRGC. Despite over a decade passing, these vehicles have not been returned to their owners.

The actions of the security forces in rearresting this citizen and unlawfully retaining his personal property violate Article 32 of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Constitution, which prohibits unlawful detention, and Article 22, which states that an individual’s dignity, life, property, rights, housing, and occupation are inviolable except by law. Additionally, retaining the vehicle without a clear judicial order constitutes a clear violation of property rights and fair trial principles.

Sammi Deen Baloch is a prominent human rights defender who has actively spoken out against the human rights abuses faced by the Baloch people, including enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests, and custodial torture.

Despite facing serious threats against herself and her family, she has continued her work in the extremely hostile environment of Balochistan, shedding light on human rights violations and providing support to victims and their families. Her arrest, along with that of other Baloch human rights defenders, has further raised concerns about the suppression of civil liberties and the increasing crackdown on human rights activists.

Molawi Mohammad Amin Muradzahi, the son of Molawi Abdul Rahim and son-in-law of former prisoner Molawi Abdul Majid Muradzahi, is married with five children. It is reported that the IRGC forces attacked the shops without presenting a warrant and later confiscated the mobile phones of his family members.

The operation also faced resistance from local residents, which was met with threats and violence by the security forces. Molawi Mohammad Amin is the head of the Charity Group at the Khalafa Rashidin Mosque in Esmailabad and a teacher at the Dar Al-Huda seminary.

As of now, the reasons for their arrest remain unknown.

In the Balochistan region of Iran, human rights violations are widespread, and the families of human rights activists, as well as political and civil activists, sometimes find themselves confronted with hostage-taking by the Islamic Republic of Iran. They are often detained for extended periods until the demands of the Iranian government, which include the arrest and execution of political and civil activists, are met.The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has always employed this policy of creating fear and terror among its citizens, particularly political and civil activists, as a constant element in its playbook
