KHRN has identified a newly discovered detention facility in Orumiyeh where detainees report torture. Interviewed former prisoners revealed details about the harsh conditions, including solitary confinement and severe beatings by interrogators. Notably, Aram Omari and Vafa Hanareh, who faced execution after enduring torture, provided harrowing accounts of their experiences.
The Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) has uncovered the existence of a detention center in Orumiyeh, a city in West Azerbaijan Province, managed by the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence. Detainees here, including those who participated in the Women, Life, Freedom uprising, have reported instances of torture. Former prisoners revealed that this facility, located on Lotfi Street, houses over 110 solitary cells along with six communal ones, designed for extreme isolation and control.
The plight of prisoners in Iran, particularly Kurdish detainees, has been a significant concern for human rights advocates. The recent findings by KHRN highlight the cruel treatment and systematic torture within detention centers operated by Iranian intelligence. These facilities not only suppress dissent but also instill fear through brutal methods, posing profound implications for human rights protection in the region.
The KHRN’s revelations about the Orumiyeh detention facility underscore a grim reality for detainees, where torture is not just a threat but a chilling routine. As voices like Omari and Hanareh expose these atrocities, there lies a pressing need for international attention and action. The stories of suffering from these hidden places cry out for justice and accountability, urging a collective response to human rights violations in Iran.
