Kurdish students activists inside and outside prisons in Iran continue to face pressure, ‎intimidation and suffering. In the latest round of such tactics, art student Jamshid ‎Bahrami, and psychology student Salam Nabati were both arrested last Saturday in the ‎early morning hours and taken to a yet-undisclosed location. ‎
Security forces surrounded the houses of the two activists at about 6am and after a ‎detailed inspection of their residence took them away, along with much of their personal ‎belongings. The destination or the reason for their detention were not publicly revealed. ‎Even the family members of the two have not been informed of the whereabouts of these ‎two students. ‎
Jamshid Bahrami is a known writer and theater actor in the cultural and artistic circles of ‎the Kurdish Town of Marivan. The arrest of these two individuals brings the total number ‎of Kurdish student activists in detention to ten.
