Iranwire – Iranian security forces have arrested art director Moein Hosseinpour in the northern city of Behshahr on August 15, IranWire reports, amid an escalating state clampdown on critical voices in the country.
The agents presented themselves as officials from the Electricity Department in order to gain entry to Hosseinpour’s residence. They did not present a warrant during the arrest.
Hosseinpour’s family has been unable to obtain information about his whereabouts or the reason for his detention.
The Intelligence Department said that no arrest order has been issued against Hosseinpour.
He has produced a video about Sahar Khodayari, a football fan who died in Tehran in 2019 after setting herself on fire over fears that she would be jailed for trying to enter a football stadium disguised as a man. Women in Iran are banned from attending sports events in stadiums.
