Kurdish young man tortured to death while in custody of Iranian security forces
Kurdish young man Shadman Ahmadi was arrested by the Iranian secret service and killed by torture, said the human rights organization Hengaw.
Arrest by the Iranian regime can mean death. Shadman Ahmadi, a Kurdish activist from Dewlan (Dehgolan), in Rojhilat, was arrested by the Iranian secret service on Thursday and taken to a police station. He died there a few hours later.
According to reports from the human rights organization Hengaw, the 33-year-old was tortured to death by secret service agents. The security forces then pressured the family to bury Shadman Ahmadi that night to prevent protests. However, many people gathered in front of Ahmadi's house to prevent a forced burial at night and in silence.
