Ferouz Hamidi, known as Ilyas, was arrested on 18th November 2010 [Persian date 27/08/1389] at his personal address. Plain-clothed officers from the Ministry [of Intelligence] began shooting at Ilyas' house, while his wife and 16 -month old child were also at home, filled with panic. Ilyas, because of his family [so] they would not get shot, he ran out of his house, while he was unarmed [and] was hit by two bullets. With his wife and his little child, he was taken to the Ministry of Intelligence detention facility in Sanandaj. He was heavily beaten, and there was [one form of] torture they brought his wife in front of his eyes and said if you don't confess we will rape her. His wife, along with his son, were released after one week on bail. But for Ilyas it was a complete year without meeting his family. He was held in the basement of the [Ministry of] Intelligence, and for this entire time his eyes did not see the sun. After twenty months in solitary [confinement] he was transferred to Rajai Shahr prison. It is necessary to mention, he used to teach Qur'an and Sunni religious books at his house. After threats from the Ministry that [he should] close it down, and his [subsequent] refusal, he was attacked by the brutal plain-clothed [officers from the] ministry [of Intelligence]. He was without medical treatment for the torture or the torment of the bullets. Also he was interrogated for twenty months. And now two bullets are located in one of his legs, and he limps.
