Iran: Martyrs’ ceremony raided; two relatives of Camp Liberty residents arrested

Call for swift release of Ms. Azam Madadzadeh and Mr. Karim Kohandel

 

The Iranian Resistance calls on all international human rights organizations and in particular the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Rapporteur for Arbitrary Detention, and the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran to condemn the arrest of Ms. Azam Madadzadeh, a mother of two children, and her husband Mr. Karim Kohandel. They are family members of Camp Liberty residents and martyrs of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The Iranian Resistance has called for immediate action to secure their release.
Two of the Madadzadeh family’s children were martyred during the massacre of PMOI members in Camp Ashraf on April 8, 2011. The Iranian regime’s intelligence agents attacked the home of the Madadzadeh family at noon on Thursday, April 7, 2016 arresting Ms. Azam Madadzadeh, the sister of the martyrs, and her husband Mr. Karim Kohandel.
The attack took place because they had commemorated the fifth anniversary of the martyrdom of Akbar and Mahdiyeh Madadzadeh.
The assaulting force numbering 30, in their cruel raid that lasted until 11 pm, searched all the belongings of the Madadzadeh family, including their photo albums and personal and electronic items, taking some of the items with them.
The oppressive forces arrested some of the guests as well and searched their houses. Due to this oppressive measure, the general health of Ms. Madadzadeh, a 67-year-old mother of the martyrs, and Ms. Kobra Amirkhizi, another family member of Camp Liberty residents, deteriorated.
The Iranian regime’s intelligence ministry has also summoned a number of other family members of Camp Liberty residents and threatened them that if they hold ceremonies for their martyred children and relatives, they too would be arrested.
