Twenty-three days have passed since the arrest of Amin Karimi — known artistically as Amino — a theater actor and performer from Urmia, and there is still no information regarding his condition or whereabouts.
Karimi was detained by Iranian security forces on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, while returning from Turkey at the Sero border crossing near Orumiyeh, and was subsequently transferred to the Intelligence Department’s detention center in Orumiyeh.
According to information received by Hana Human Rights Organization, Karimi has been denied contact with his family and remains under interrogation. His social media accounts are reportedly being operated by security forces, and the family’s repeated efforts to obtain information about his charges and condition have so far yielded no results.
It is worth noting that Amin Karimi was previously arrested during the “Women, Life, Freedom” uprising in 2022 and was released after one month in detention.
