Concerning Situation of 24-Year-Old Arian Hosseini: No Information on His Whereabouts While His Injured Father is Imprisoned in Fashafuyeh

It has been more than a month since the arrest of Arian Hosseini, a 24-year-old young man, and his family remains completely unaware of his whereabouts and his physical and mental condition. Meanwhile, his father, Mohammad Hosseini, who was injured by a bullet on January 8, is being held in poor conditions in Fashafuyeh prison.

According to available information, Arian Hosseini was arrested on January 9 when he went to one of the hospitals around Seyed Khandan to find his injured father. Prior to that, he had no information about his father's exact location or condition and was merely trying to find a trace of him.

Reports indicate that after Arian's arrest, his mobile phone was confiscated, and images related to the protests in January were found during its inspection. Following this, he was immediately transferred to an unknown location.

In the past month, Arian has only made one brief call to his family, merely stating, "I am alive, don't worry." This call has been the only sign of his life, and since then, no official information regarding his place of detention, the status of his case, possible charges, or his detention conditions has been provided to the family.

Simultaneously, his father, Mohammad Hosseini, despite his bullet injury, is being held in Fashafuyeh prison, which has previously been reported to have inadequate sanitary and medical conditions. Detaining an injured person in such conditions has heightened concerns about his health and puts his life at risk.

The fate of Arian Hosseini and his father is a troubling example of the situation faced by families who spend their days and nights in silence and uncertainty, filled with anxiety and waiting; waiting for clear news, official information, and assurance for the safety of their loved ones.
