Hossein Hosseini, a civil activist from Iranian Kurdistan, has been arrested by Turkish police and transferred to a deportation camp in Muğla, where he faces the threat of being handed over to Iranian security forces.

Hossein Hosseini, who was forced to leave Kurdistan due to threats from Iranian security forces, was arrested by Turkish police while crossing with his family from Turkey to Europe.

He and his family were later transferred to a deportation camp in Muğla- Turkiye.

Hosseini has two children, aged 11 and 13, and is from Marivan. In previous years, he has been summoned and tortured several times by the security forces of the Islamic Republic for his activities in civil society organizations in this city.

He was later forced to leave the country due to continued pressure from Iranian security forces.

The human rights activist now faces a serious threat of deportation to Iran, where he could face torture, disappearance or even death.

It is worth mentioning that Nasrin Khoshnavazian, wife of Hossein Hosseini, is suffering from severe depression and anxiety due to the current situation.

She also suffers from a severe stomach ulcer, which requires immediate medical attention, both psychologically and physiologically.

Ava Today has learned from a reliable source that his family and civil activists in the cultural councils of Marivan are calling on international and human rights organizations to prevent the deportation of this family.

They said their lives would be in danger if the family were returned to Iran.
