Attack by Plainclothes Agents on Two Civil Activists Ahead of Mahsa Amini's Death Anniversary

Ahead of the anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death and nationwide protests, news sources from Iran reported that two civil activists were attacked by unknown individuals in the street. A video released by Soheil Arabi, a political prisoner exiled to Borazjan, shows Shahin Hamidi, one of his former cellmates in Tehran's Great Prison, with a bloodied face. In this video, Shahin Hamidi addresses the people, saying: 'Dear people, this is the face of a protester. The face of a political prisoner who was arrested in your revolutionary uprising in 1401.' He states that 'this is the fate that the Islamic Republic brings to its protesters,' emphasizing that after a long time of 'not answering their calls, they brought this fate upon me to come and introduce myself and surrender.' This former political prisoner adds: 'Oh people, come and seek justice and take the rights of the grieving families.' Shahin Hamidi points out the hypocrisy of the Islamic Republic officials, stating that plainclothes agents 'broke my head and side' and addresses those who went to Karbala during the 'religious carnival' of Arbaeen, saying: 'Those of you who went to Karbala, may your pilgrimage be accepted!' According to this report, individuals attacked Shahin Hamidi 'in the metro,' and 'the people saved him.' In another video released by Sohrab Hassan Khani, another former political prisoner on Instagram, Mohsen Khan Mohammadi, a civil activist, states that he has not been home for several days due to 'threatening anonymous calls' and was attacked by unknown individuals in the street on Tuesday. Mohsen Khan Mohammadi, a civil activist from Kermanshah and a former political prisoner, explains in this video that 'two unknown individuals' attacked him in front of his car. He explains that he borrowed a car from a friend to take care of his sick father and that the plainclothes agents not only injured him but also damaged the borrowed vehicle. This former political prisoner says he tried to defend himself against the attackers.
