Haal Vsh, a human rights organisation, reported that Iranian security forces arrested four Sunni clerics in Razavi Khorasan province of Iran and transferred them to an unknown location.

The organisation wrote that the security forces, in civilian attire, arrested these clerics without a court order.

The organisation announced the names of the detainees as Shamsuddin Motahari, Hossein Ahmad Shahidi, Gol Mohammad Mansouri, and Fazel Moradi, stating that they were teachers at a seminary.

Haal Vsh, quoting its sources, wrote that these clerics were arrested ten days ago while travelling. So far, Iranian officials have not commented on this matter.
