The Intelligence Department of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tabriz has arrested a civil activist and former political prisoner in Tabriz.
Yashar Tabrizi was detained on Tuesday after responding to a summons to appear at the IRGC’s headquarters in Tabriz, which was issued by phone the day before.
During the arrest, IRGC officials also confiscated the mobile phone of Tabrizi’s wife, according to the Hengaw human rights organization.
The specific reasons for Tabrizi’s summons and detention have not been disclosed by the authorities.
The arrest is part of a continued pattern of legal actions against Tabrizi, who has faced multiple summonses, arrests, and judicial proceedings related to his civil activism and advocacy work.
