Ramin Fatehi, 47, and a father of one was detained on October 13 by agents of Iran's ministry of intelligence outside the city of Sanandaj city as he was driving his pick-up truck. The agents then proceeded to his family home where they detained another brother named Voria, and the following morning, their sister Rada was taken.
"We did not have any news about them over the past nine days that have been taken," his brother Chiako Fatehi told Rudaw English via telephone. "My family went to the intelligence office but were not given any news about my siblings."
"Last night, they called a relative and said that Ramin has died and asked him to come and identify the body," Chiako Fatehi said. "By the time the relative arrived in their office it was around 10:30 and then they only allowed him to see his face and not examine his body." The agents then appear to have taken the body to the Behesht Mohamadi cemetery in Sanandaj where they buried Ramin Fatehi without any family members present.
"Covid death"
"Today we received information from a very reliable source that Ramin died under torture and he did not commit suicide as the authorities claim," Chiako said as he cried during the phone call.
Fatehi said that he does not know why his brother Ramin was detained in the first place. "I don't even know whether he took part in the protest but I can tell you more than 80 percent of the people of Sanandaj have taken part," Chiako Fatehi, a Peshmerga of the leftist Komala party told Rudaw Englsih from Sulaimani.
Chiako Fatehi said that his brother became a Peshmerga of Komala from 2015 until 2017 when he travelled to Europa
