There is no news on the whereabouts of two brothers from the town of Nosoud identified as Mokhtar and Shahrokh Khandani who were arrested by security forces. According to reports, these two Kurd citizens were arrested about one month ago along with a number of other people and were transferred to an unknown location. Despite their families constant pursuits of their conditions from officials they have not received any explanations about where they are kept and their charges. Notably, Mokhtar and Shahrokh Khandani were arrested after protests against the killing of a Nosoud resident identified as Pourmand Madhat Nia. (Mukrian News Agency – Apr. 26, 2011)
