The human rights organization Hengaw announced on Friday that in the past four days, at least 160 citizens, mainly from the village of Lor in the Islamabad-e Gharb county of Kermanshah province, have been summoned and interrogated by the security agencies of the Islamic Republic. According to Hengaw, these summons occurred following the killing of two government forces in Kermanshah province. The report states that after the killing of a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps named Sajjad Amiri on Sunday, June 11, government forces opened fire on residential homes in the village of Lor, claiming to be attempting to arrest his assailant. Hengaw adds that on the evening of Tuesday, June 13, during a siege and shooting at a residential home in this village, another member of the IRGC named Mehdi Shahkarami was killed due to a ricochet from friendly fire, and another IRGC member and a civilian were injured. The report indicates that in recent days, government forces have been stationed in public places in Islamabad-e Gharb with semi-heavy weapons. Mohammad Nourizad is being tried on several new charges, Nazila Maroufian was 'dismissed' from her job due to her account of the 'encounter with special forces', Amnesty International criticized the 'enforced disappearance' of a Kurdish political activist by Iranian authorities, and an IRGC member was killed in a conflict in Kurdistan.
