HRANA – Keyhan Maghsoudi, a Baha’i citizen from Urmia, was arrested by security forces in June 2025. After undergoing interrogation, he was transferred to Urmia Prison. In recent days, however, he has once again been moved to a security detention facility.
On Friday, June 20, 2025, amid the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, Maghsoudi was arrested by security forces at his workplace. He was initially taken to a security detention center in Urmia and, after a period of interrogation, transferred to Urmia Prison. Recently, he was returned from the prison to an undisclosed security facility, leaving his family with no information about his condition or whereabouts.
Speaking to HRANA, his sister, Mahsa Maghsoudi, confirmed the developments, stating: “We still have no information about the status of my brother’s case or the charges against him. Throughout this time, Keyhan has been held without access to an independent lawyer, which raises serious concerns about the possibility of forced confessions under pressure or torture. Such confessions have no legal or human validity.”
She added: “So far, no official information has been provided about the judicial process, and our concerns about the future of his case and the likelihood of a fair trial are growing day by day.”
Keyhan Maghsoudi, 49, is single and works as a photographer and videographer in Urmia.
