Three days after the arrest of Arin Tarvand, a 21-year-old man from Mehran, there is still no information about his whereabouts or place of detention.
This citizen was violently arrested during a raid by security forces and plainclothes personnel from the IRGC Intelligence Organization on his family home and was transferred to an unknown location.
According to Kolbarnews, on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, security forces and plainclothes personnel from the IRGC Intelligence Organization raided the family home of Arin Tarvand and arrested him. According to reports received, this 21-year-old man from Mehran in Ilam Province was subjected to violent treatment by security forces during his arrest and was transferred to an unknown location with his hands and eyes bound.
Despite three days having passed since his arrest, Arin Tarvand’s family remains unaware of his place of detention and condition. Security authorities have so far provided no explanation regarding the reasons for his arrest.
Reports also indicate that since his arrest, Arin Tarvand has been deprived of access to a lawyer, visits with his family, and telephone contact; a situation that has increased the concern of his family and relatives regarding the condition of this young man.
Arin Tarvand is the cousin of Saeed Tarvand, one of those killed during the January 2026 protests in Abadan.
Saeed Tarvand, 33, from Mehran in Ilam Province, who worked as a contractor for an oil company in Abadan, was directly shot with live ammunition by government forces on the evening of Thursday, January 8, 2026, during the popular protests in Abadan and lost his life.
