Several local sources told IPA that the mass arrest of Afghan seminary students is different than the previous pattern of expelling immigrants from the Sistan & Baluchistan province, and it is used as a tool to put pressure on Sunni clergy in the province and end the peaceful protests in Sistan & Baluchistan. </reference> </coverage-outsourcing>

Halvash reported that at least 69 arrested Afghan seminary students in Al-Ghadir immigrant camp awaiting a decision are currently on hunger strike and the efforts by some seminary teachers to get them to break their hunger strike failed. According to the report, the security forces have been pressuring the students to confess to participating in the Friday protests in Zahedan. Halvash reported that at the end of each seminary school year, the Afghan students return to Afghanistan through the immigration office, a process that takes two to three days. But with the uprising in Iran, most of the students that went to the office were arrested by the security forces and taken to the Al-Ghadir camp. </reference> </coverage-outsourcing>
