Iranian security forces shot political prisoner Kayhan Manteghi in the leg and detained him along with his brother and cousin, according to information obtained by Iran International. Kayhan Manteghi, his brother Iman Manteghi and their cousin Hossein Manteghi were arrested on November 7. Their whereabouts and condition have remained unknown since their arrests. A source familiar with the case told Iran International that armed security personnel opened fire on Kayhan Manteghi during an encounter, wounding him in the leg. The source said his brother and cousin were also arrested after going to the scene to help him. The lack of information about the three detainees has raised concerns about their safety, particularly Kayhan Manteghi's health following his gunshot injury. In a separate case, Iran International reported in September that security forces shot protest detainee Alireza Sepahi in the legs during his arrest and detained his mother, brother and teenage sister.
