We, a group of civil and political activists from Kermanshah, with this statement, express our deep concern over the long-standing history of fabricated cases and false security scenarios against civil and political activists. We strongly warn against any case-fabrication and attempts to create division and discord in the region.

In a new scenario designed by the "Kermanshah Intelligence Organization of the IRGC" and announced through a statement by the "Prosecutor's Office of Kermanshah Province," baseless and unfounded accusations have been leveled against civil and political activists, including those residing abroad and their families. Charges such as insulting the people, extortion, deliberate arson, and linking them to fake and offensive social media accounts are mere pretexts for widespread suppression of civil society and character assassination of these activists. The aim of these baseless scenarios is not only to discredit these honorable activists but also to legitimize arbitrary arrests and actions against them, which may be accompanied by forced confessions—a practice with a known history by the IRGC's intelligence agency.

Moreover, considering the tribal and clan-based structure of the region, the IRGC's intelligence organization seeks to use these security scenarios to create division, discord, and conflict among the people, preventing their solidarity and unity. It is crucial that people remain aware of this scenario.

Experience has shown that the Islamic Republic of Iran's government, relying on its security apparatus, consistently opposes grassroots organizations and popular associations that work to protect natural resources and collective dignity. By using repetitive and discredited scenarios, the government engages in widespread arrests and creates fear and intimidation in society to prevent any form of convergence and synergy among activists and the community.

It is noteworthy that this new wave of arrests in Gilan-e Gharb follows a grand Nowruz ceremony attended by more than 30,000 people in the region—a ceremony that clearly raised the sensitivities of security officials, who had previously warned of harsh measures against the organizers. These repressive actions are taking place even though the arrested activists played a crucial role in defending the celebration of Nowruz in Gilan-e Gharb and in controlling recent forest fires in the Zagros by collecting financial aid.

By issuing this statement, we call on all human rights organizations, civil society, and public opinion to pay special attention to this matter and to defend the fundamental rights and civil liberties of the arrested activists. 

We also emphasize our resilience and determination in the face of any efforts by the authorities and mercenary elements in the region to create division and carry out systematic repression.

In conclusion, we believe that the only way out of the current crises is through constructive dialogue, respect for civil rights and fundamental freedoms, and the avoidance of violence and repression. We hope that through solidarity and public unity, we can move towards a free, just, and democratic society.
