Estonia’s security service expels student supporters of Hezbollah and Iran’s regime

Estonia’s Internal Security Service (ISS/KAPO) said it had expelled two students it claimed were supporters of Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Republic regime from India and Pakistan.

In a post on the social media website X, the service posted two photographs of two men outside a detention center alongside masked officers.

“The ISS, together with the police, expelled two supporters of the terrorist group Hezbollah and the Islamist regime of Iran from Estonia. Today, Pakistani citizen Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi was expelled, and last summer, Indian citizen Syed Shahid Musvi. Both were in Estonia under academic mobility programs,” the post said.

In the ISS’ most recent yearbook under the “Islamic extremism” section, it said the authorities revoked the e-residency status of four individuals, cancelled one residence permit and imposed an entry ban on another individual in 2024.
