Human rights sources have reported the death of Hossein Ghavi (Silavi), a 28-year-old Arab citizen with a disability in Ahvaz, while in the custody of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

According to reports published on Sunday, April 5, 2026, by HRANA, the Iran Human Rights Center, Hengaw, and Daadban, this citizen, who resided in the Zargan area of Ahvaz, died under "ambiguous" circumstances after being detained in the last days of Esfand.

Based on these reports, Hossein Ghavi, who had a disability in his leg and earned a living through a tea stall, was arrested on charges of filming bombed areas and sending the footage to foreign media. Local sources told HRANA that IRGC-affiliated forces contacted his family on Thursday to inform them of his death.

Some of these reports have stated that this citizen died as a result of torture while in custody.
