Concerns are mounting about the well-being of 20-year-old Khaled Mehmandoost, who was arrested by Iranian security forces in Mahabad over three months ago.
According to an informed source speaking to IranWire, Mehmandoost is currently in Mahabad prison, and his mental and physical health are described as unstable.
The source said that Mehmandoost spent 90 days in solitary confinement within IRGC intelligence detention centers in Mahabad and Urmia.
He was allegedly subjected to "mental and physical torture to such an extent that according to the diagnosis of the prison doctor, he may commit suicide due to his mental condition."
The sources further detailed Mehmandoost's digestive system and kidneys sustaining physical injuries during torture and solitary confinement.
Additionally, Mehmandoost was reportedly denied contact with his family and relatives throughout his detention.
His family has also faced pressure from security forces to remain silent about his condition.
Despite presenting medical documents to the judge overseeing Mehmandoost's case, there have been no reported changes in his condition.
