For eight days, the security apparatus has been silent about the kidnapping of the Abadani girl.

Despite dozens of cameras and claims of "maintaining public security," eight days have passed since the disappearance of "Sitare Heydari," a girl from Abadan, and the security apparatus remains silent.

In the city of Abadan, Khuzestan Province, a disturbing incident occurred on the night of Thursday, November 5. A young girl named “Satare Heydari” left her home to go shopping and has not been seen since. Reports from informed sources confirm that the 17-year-old was last seen on CCTV at around 8:00 PM local time. According to her father, the abduction was carried out by the occupants of a Pride car.

Heydari's family has announced that Setareh left home with only his cell phone and bank card, and reports say he left near Shapour Park in Abadan.

Despite the installation of numerous CCTV cameras in city streets, no shocking images or definitive clues to the kidnapping have been released or have been inaccessible. More than a week later, no public action has been taken by law enforcement agencies to find the star or release clear and traceable information.

Setareh's family, friends, and social media users have now started publishing photos and making a public appeal to attract more attention or to find a trace of the kidnappers.

This incident raises several serious questions:

• How is it possible that a star could be kidnapped so easily in a city with dozens of surveillance cameras and license plate reading systems on the streets?

• Why have the security forces, who repeatedly speak of their role in "maintaining public order and security," so far been unable or unwilling to take any overt action to find the star?
• Why has the police, which has installed hundreds of cameras to monitor women's hijabs in the streets and is constantly pursuing and punishing people who are not wearing hijab or are wearing it improperly, shown no action in such an important incident to find a trace of the star's kidnappers?
• What message does the security apparatus have for citizens, when even for a young girl, the protective and security mechanisms are seemingly ineffective?
• Does the existence of surveillance tools mean that security is guaranteed? This incident shows that installing cameras and systems without adequate enforcement and accountability may damage public trust.

For audiences and activists concerned with human rights, human dignity, and social justice, this story can serve as a symbol of the vulnerable state of women and youth in dysfunctional security infrastructures. This situation highlights a reading of “prioritizing control over appearance” versus “preserving life and individual liberty.”
