The agents also searched the premises and confiscated several personal belongings, including mobile phones, a laptop, and his Baha’i books.
A source close to the Rahmat Panah family confirmed the news to HRANA, stating: “Following repeated inquiries by the family to judicial and security authorities, it was eventually confirmed that Mr. Rahmat Panah had been transferred to The Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility in Shiraz, known as Plaque 100.”

Iman Rahmat Panah has previously faced arrest and legal action due to his activities.Over the past decade, the Iranian Bahá’í community has been disproportionately targeted by Iran’s security forces and judiciary—more than any other minority group.
In the past three years, an average of 72 percent of the reports on religious rights violations collected by HRANA have documented the Iranian regime’s repression of the Bahá’í community.
