Majid Albo-Ebadi, a 29-year old from Mahshahr, Iran, was arrested and transported to an unknown location last week.
The chemical engineering graduate on May 16 had his home raided by the Iranian regime’s notorious Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) before being detained.
Albo-Ebadi is an Iranian Arab Sunni activist. He is an academic who focuses primarily on Arab cultural studies.
Albo-Ebadi’s family went to the local headquarters of the Ministry of Intelligence in Ahwaz and Mahshahr to learn about the nature of their son’s detention and his location. To their surprise, the MOIS disavowed his arrest.
