Arian Hosseini

More than a month has passed since the detention of Arian Hosseini, a tattoo artist residing in Tehran, and still no clear information has been released regarding the charges, judicial process, or his status of freedom. He was arrested on January 8, 2024, in East Tehran; an arrest that, according to his family, occurred while searching for his injured father. According to the family's account, Arian Hosseini's father, named Mohammad, was injured by a bullet on January 7, 2024. The day after, Arian visited several hospitals to find him. It is reported that during his visit to one of the hospitals near Seyyed Khandan — which is attributed to military forces — he was arrested by agents after his mobile phone was checked and videos and photos were found on it. Arian Hosseini's relatives state that he has only had two brief calls with his family, during which he indicated that he is detained along with about one hundred other individuals. Despite some follow-ups, including a request for a payslip from the relevant authorities, no definitive news has been provided regarding the holding of a court session or the possibility of his release. At the same time, it has been reported that his father, Mohammad, has been transferred to Fashafouyeh Prison after being discharged from the hospital. The continued lack of information regarding the status of this father and son has heightened the family's concerns and raised questions about their legal status and conditions of detention.
