Twenty days after the arrest of Nima Rasoulzadeh, a young Kurdish man from the village of Gavmish-Goli in Miandoab, and his transfer to one of the security detention centers in Urmia, his family remains unaware of his condition and place of detention.
During this period, the citizen has been deprived of access to a lawyer and communication with his family.
According to Kolbarnews, on Monday, July 27, 2026, Nima Rasoulzadeh, from the village of Gavmish-Goli in Miandoab County, was arrested by security forces without the presentation of a judicial warrant.
Following his arrest, he was transferred to one of the security detention centers in Urmia, and since then, no precise information has been available regarding his condition, place of detention, or whereabouts.
According to information received, during the past 20 days, the family of this citizen has been unable to visit him or establish contact with him, and he has also been prevented from accessing a lawyer. Furthermore, no details have so far been released regarding the reason for Nima Rasoulzadeh’s arrest or any possible charges brought against him, and security authorities have provided no explanation in this regard.
The village of Gavmish-Goli is currently officially part of Miandoab County; however, the village was previously within Bukan County, and its residents continue to regard the area as part of Bukan. According to local residents, the change in the country’s administrative divisions in this area was carried out with the aim of altering its demographic composition.
Nima Rasoulzadeh’s arrest comes amid a new wave of arrests of citizens that has begun in recent days in Bukan and surrounding areas. So far, seven citizens have been arrested in these operations: Esmail Badsar, Zakaria Badsar, Omid Chavbaz, Sediq Karimi, Hadi Azizi, Loghman Ghorbani, and Mohammad Hajizadeh.
The continued lack of information about Nima Rasoulzadeh’s condition and his deprivation of the basic rights of a detainee, including access to a lawyer and communication with his family, have heightened concerns about his well-being.
