Iran: A teenager abducted by the clerical regime agents in Ahwaz

A young Iranian Arab youth from the city of Ahvaz in southwest Iran has been abducted by Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS/VEVAK) agents and there is no information of his whereabouts to this day. Hamze Hosseinzadeh, 17 is from the city of Mahshahr, southern Iran.
Hamze was abducted by plainclothes agents a few days after trampling a flag of the Islamic republic, human rights advocates reported.
His family has gone to various hospitals and prisons seeking information about their child until they received a phone call from the Ahvaz Intelligence Department informing them their son is held in an intelligence prison. A year after this incident Hamze’s family was able to visit their son in prison. In recent years a number of Iranian Arabs have been killed under torture, including Gheiban Abidwai in Hamidiye, Mohammad Chaldawi, Reza Moghamesi, Mohammad Ka’bi and others, all from southwest Iran.
