Arya Adavi

The detention of Arya Adavi, a 20-year-old metal industries student at Sari University, has once again raised concerns regarding the situation of detained students. According to 'United Students', this student was arrested on January 10, 2024, in Qarchak, Tehran, and since then, no clear information has been released regarding his place of detention or his condition. The ambiguity surrounding the fate of this young student occurs at a time when, in recent years, numerous cases of families being unaware of the status of detainees have been reported; a situation often accompanied by security pressures to prevent information dissemination. Based on previous experiences, publicizing the names and details of detainees can help increase public sensitivity, reduce the likelihood of mistreatment, and expedite legal follow-ups. In many cases, families are pressured by interrogators to refrain from speaking to the media or disclosing news of the detention. However, lawyers and legal activists emphasize that silence not only does not help improve the situation of the detained individual but can also lead to prolonged detention and increased vulnerability. For this reason, families and friends of detainees are advised to resist pressure for silence and to facilitate public and legal follow-up by disclosing the names and details of their loved ones. Currently, no information has been released regarding the potential charges, the detaining authority, or the legal status of Arya Adavi, and this information void has heightened concerns about his situation.
