Shayan Abadi, a Baha’i resident of Kerman, has been arrested by Ministry of Intelligence agents amid a continuing wave of arrests targeting Baha’i citizens in Iran and transferred to an undisclosed location.

According to available information, the 31-year-old was detained on Monday, March 23, 2026, at around 6:00 p.m. in the city of Kerman by security forces, without the presentation of a judicial warrant.

As of the time of this report, no information is available regarding his place of detention, the reasons for his arrest, or the charges against him. Reports also indicate that his family’s efforts to obtain information about his situation have so far been unsuccessful, and he has not been able to make any contact.

This arrest comes amid increasing pressure on Baha’i citizens in recent weeks, including widespread detentions and intensive interrogations, alongside growing concerns about the use of psychological and physical torture and the extraction of forced confessions.

The continued lack of information about Shayan Abadi’s condition has heightened concerns about his safety and well-being.
