Uncertainty Surrounds the Sister of Mujahid Korkori Following Government Forces' Attack on Their Family Home

A family member of Mujahid Korkori (Abbas Korkori) reported the disappearance of his sister, Negar Korkori, following an attack by security forces on their family home on Wednesday night. An Instagram account attributed to Yasna Bakhtiari, the sister of Mujahid Korkori, stated that after the 'attack by the Islamic Republic forces on our family home' on Wednesday evening, there has been no information about her sister Negar. Yasna Bakhtiari wrote: 'Since last night, when government forces violently stormed my family home, we have no information about my sister Negar, and the responsibility for her safety lies with the government and security forces.' She also announced that government agents took Negar's mobile phone during the attack and have summoned her for Thursday. Pressure on the families of detainees and plaintiffs by the Islamic Republic has been a recurring issue. Yasna Bakhtiari also shared another report on her brother's case on Instagram, stating that when the chosen lawyer of this death-row protester visited the first branch of the Revolutionary Court in Ahvaz 'to announce representation and meet' with him and 'to follow up on the case in the Supreme Court,' they were told that Mujahid Korkori is 'currently in the custody of the IRGC for documentation purposes and there will be no possibility for in-person meetings for the next two weeks.' Yasna Bakhtiari expressed concern for her brother's situation, stating that 'the responsibility for any forced confession under torture' lies with the agents and security forces. Abbas Korkori, known as Mujahid Korkori, was arrested a month after the killing of Kian Pirfalak, a 9-year-old child from Izeh. Although the Pirfalak family has repeatedly stated that they have no complaint against Mujahid, the Islamic Republic has not only failed to release him but, according to lawyers and human rights activists, there is a possibility of his execution. Despite the repeated emphasis by Kian Pirfalak's family, who was killed by gunfire from government forces in Izeh, on Mujahid Korkori's innocence and their complaint against the police as the assailants, the judiciary has sentenced Mujahid Korkori to death on charges of 'murdering' Kian. Many activists, government opponents, and families seeking justice in Iran accuse the Islamic Republic's security and judicial officials of repeatedly distorting the true narratives about the suppression of protests and attributing the killings of some protesters to others, while declaring the deaths of some as 'accidents,' 'suicides,' 'underlying health conditions,' 'strokes,' and 'fear.' The mother of Vahid Shiazeh, one of the plaintiffs, previously told Voice of America that her son was killed by gunfire from agents and not in an accident. Amnesty International has called for 'immediate action' to stop executions in Iran. The Revolutionary Court has charged eight detained protesters in Izeh with 'moharebeh' and 'corruption on earth.' Another child has died due to gunfire from the police; the police stated, 'We implemented the vehicle control plan.'
