Iran's intelligence kidnaped Swedish-Ahwazi national Habib Al-Aswad, one of the leaders of Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz. reports say Qatar and Turkey are involved in handing him over to Iran.
The Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Al Ahwaz, an Arab nationalist opposition group in Iran, accused Qatar of coordinating the arrest of one of its leaders, Habib Asyud, by Turkish authorities that handed him over to Iranian security services. Initially lured by parties in Qatar, Asyud was detained in Turkey on October 9 only hours after arriving in Istanbul.
Turkish authorities informed a defense attorney assigned to represent Asyud, who is also a Swedish national, that he had arrived in Istanbul three hours before he went missing.
Authorities in Istanbul ignored questions from the family and all messages and contacts from Swedish authorities regarding Asyud’s fate over the past 25 days.
The Movement held Qatar and Turkey fully responsible for the life of the dissident, calling on the Turkish and Iranian authorities to constructively cooperate in order to uncover the circumstances of this kidnapping.
The Arab opposition movement confirmed that it would follow up the kidnapping of one of its leaders through legal means to know his fate and ensure that he was not harmed.
Syrian media professional, Abdul Galil Saeed has tweeted a warning against travelling to Doha. Aided by Qatar, the Ahwazi dissident was abducted and handed over to the Iranian intelligence, he added.
Ahwazi activists have recently complained of hacking attempts on social networks, and reported receiving death threats from unknown numbers.
