In the city of Malashiya, the intelligence department arrested several members of the Sunni community, including Younes Al-Gharbawi, Reda Al-Zuheiri, and three others whose identities remain unknown.
Local sources reported that most of those arrested were active on social media, addressing issues such as poverty, unemployment, and environmental destruction. The authorities confiscated their phones, computers, and personal belongings, transferring them to undisclosed locations.

Statement by Kareem Khalaf, Ahwazi Human Rights Activist:
Kareem Khalaf, an Ahwazi human rights activist, commented on these developments, saying:
“These mass arrests reflect a systematic policy aimed at stifling freedoms and silencing voices in Ahwaz. Targeting activists and intellectuals highlights the authorities’ fear of free voices defending the people’s rights. We call on the international community and human rights organizations to act immediately to hold those responsible for these violations accountable and ensure the immediate release of all detainees.”
