IRGC Intelligence agents raided Nasir Abad village in Sistan and Baluchistan province, arresting almost 30 young men on the charge of assassinating Mostafa Jangizehi. A few days later, it was reported that three of them have confessed to the assassination of Mostafa Jangizehi. Similar to the TV confessions made by Abdolghafar Naghshbandi, son of Fat'hi Mohammad Naghshbandi the Friday prayer Imam of Rask. In that case, Fat'hi Mohammad Naghshbandi and his son and Abadian family were also charged with the assassination of Mostafa Jagizehi. There were many contradictions and unfair trial procedures and legal violations as well. There was no evidence, weapons, or ammunition found, and some of the accusations seemed impossible due to the age of the accused. Some of the people accused in the new case were being monitored by the Intelligence Ministry and had to report to the ministry each month and therefore couldn't be responsible for some of the accusations. One of the accused, Abubakr Bahramzehi, was a Red Crescent aid worker, and according to his brother, not only he couldn't be involved in the "terrorist attack of Rais Abad police station and a few other attacks", but he helped the victims of those attacks as an aid worker. The defendants were initially accused of membership in Jeish Ul-Adl, a charge that later changed to "worse than Jeish Ul-Adl" and was later dropped completely. One IPA source said the Intelligence Ministry and IRGC Intelligence were at odds in this case. Four of those arrested, named Yousef, Zobeir, Akbar, and Naeim Bahramzehi were released without bail. There was no information on the other 12 until that point, namely Abdolsattar Bahramzehi, Amer Bahramzehi, Abubakr Mollazehi, Omid Bahramzehi, Edris Balidei, Amin Bahramzehi, Bashir Balidei, Davoud Bahramzehi, Mosayeb Vatankhah, Amin Raisi, and Najib Raisi. About six months later, the 12 were transferred from the Intelligence Ministry lockup to Zahedan Central Prison. A few days later, Omid and Amin Bahramzehi were exonerated and released without bail. For a long time after that, there was no news on the rest. They were severely tortured and kept in solitary, and their families were threatened constantly. They were also denied access to an attorney or communication with the outside world. They were under arrest in Zahedan prison for four years without indictment and were eventually released on bail. The judiciary never explained why these people who were deemed innocent and released by the judiciary, agreed to confess on camera and incriminate themselves and their families.

Faramarz Bahramzehi, Aboubakr’s Bahramzehi’s brother, in a letter to Hossein Ali Shahriari, (the representative from Zahedan), General Rahimi (the commander of security forces in the province) and Mohammad Bagher Hosseini (responsible for the religious/ideological unit of the province), wrote that his brother Abubakr was arrested in his pajamas and barefooted, along with his cousin, in the middle of the night, in front of the family, while being filmed. It has been a month that there is no news of him. He writes, in this letter, that his brother, had not only no role in the “terrorist acts of Rais Abad headquarters and other terrorist events”, he even helped the injured in his capacity as a member of the Red Crescent. He asks, how can your conscience allow you to sacrifice the prisoners, who average around 22 years old, in order to “cover for the security weaknesses of seven years ago?”

The Baloch Activists Campaign reported that the court demanded a 10 billion toman bail, each, for the release of Amin Raisi, Najib Raisi, Aboubakr (Sedigh) Bahramzehi, Mosayeb Vatankhah, Davoud Bahramzehi, Amer Bahramzehi, Abdolsatar Bahramzehi, Bashir Balidehi and Edris Balidehi. But Abubakr Mollazehi, who is another one of the prisoners in this case did not receive such a request.

Local sources, in a discussion with Iran Prison Atlas, saw part of the “incongruities” as such: the security forces, a short time after the arrest of Amin Raisi (implicated in this case but who had been arrested before the terror attacks) in October 2014 news of his confession was announced, but there were other members of the said armed group were getting on with their lives in their villages. The terror attacks that led to the arrests took place in Nasirabad village, in the place of residence of individuals who are members of an armed group and the military students have been charged. According to the claims of the families of the arrested, these individuals were arrested three days after the assassinations, in their own homes, and had not fled. Also, many of these individuals, were charged repeatedly and extensively charged with acts of terror, were under the surveillance of the Intelligence ministry, and were summoned by the Intelligence ministry on a monthly basis. General Hossein Rahimi, the commander of law enforcement forces in Sistan and Baluchestanclaimed that these individuals were responsible for “90 percent of the menaces of the recent years” in Sistan and Baluchestanprovince. However, since the arrest of these individuals “menaces” have not been, meaningfully, reduced. He also said, “they had committed this murder for the sake of 400 thousand Tomans”,but Tahereh Gahramzehi, Abubakr Mollazehi’s wife, in a letter she sent to international movements for justice, wrote that their family is in a good financial position and the claim that they committed this murder for money,“makes no sense”. In any case, the arrested in this case were initially accused of membership in Jaish Al Adl but later they were charged with membership in “worse than Jaish Al Adl” and finally, that charge was erased. Also, the prisoners were held responsible for acts previously claimed by Jaish Al Adl
