Majid Hamidi, Seyed Ghaleb Hosseini, Abdollah Kheirabadi, Nameq Babakhani, and Eghbal Shabani, five labor activists from Sanandaj, were summoned and interrogated by the Intelligence Department of the city.
According to Kolbarnews, on Saturday, January 19, 2025, the five activists were questioned at the intelligence agency’s headquarters regarding their civil and labor activities. Security forces reportedly threatened them with arrest if they continued their activities.
This wave of summons comes amid increasing pressure on labor activists in Sanandaj in recent weeks. The recent measures appear aimed at creating an atmosphere of fear and suppressing any organized labor or protest actions in the city.
All five activists have a history of previous summons, arrests, and convictions related to their labor and civil rights advocacy.
