Two citizens from Dehloran County, Mojtaba Yavar, a former university lecturer, and Mostafa Mohammadi, a long-serving employee of the Dehloran Veterinary Department, have been arrested by security authorities.
According to Kolbarnews on Saturday, June 20, 2026, security forces went to the home of Mostafa Mohammadi, arrested him, and transferred him to the Dehloran Judiciary Office. Mojtaba Yavar, who had gone to one of the judiciary branches to follow up on Mohammadi’s situation, was also arrested by order of the branch chief.
According to received information, the charge brought against Mostafa Mohammadi has been described as “communication with hostile governments and Israel.” The reason for Mojtaba Yavar’s arrest has reportedly been stated as the publication of critical content on social media.
According to informed sources, the two citizens had published critical posts on social media in recent weeks in response to what they described as “land grabbing by city officials.”
Based on obtained information, bail has been set for the release of both citizens. The bail amount for Mojtaba Yavar has been set at 1.5 billion tomans, while the bail amount for Mostafa Mohammadi has been reported as 800 million tomans.
Mostafa Mohammadi had previously also been arrested during the January 2026 protests.
