The latest victims include Amin from Zahidan and Abdul Sattar Raiisi and Namya Jawadi Muhammad from Fanuj. These abductions follow a series of incidents where security forces and intelligence agencies have targeted individuals in the region.
In Zahidan, Amin was whisked away by Iranian forces while he was traveling home, leaving his whereabouts unknown. Similarly, in Fanuj, Abdul Sattar Raiisi and Namya Jawadi Muhammad were abducted from their homes, and their fate remains uncertain.
