متن كامل بيانيه ی قبادى به اين شرح است:
برادر کوچک من، بهروز قبادی، بیش از دو هفته پیش ناپدید شد، بعد از چندین روز جستجو ما متوجه شدیم که ایشان توسط مقامات ایرانی و به اتهام اقدام علیه امنیت ملی بازداشت شده است. من و خانواده ام مطمئن هستیم که او بی گناه است و ناتوان از چنین اقداماتی. ما به شدت نگران سلامتی ایشان هستیم و از مقامات ایرانی آزادی فوری او را خواستاریم.
ما در حال حاضر می دانیم که بهروز توسط وزارت اطلاعات ایران بازداشت شده است. در طول دو هفته گذشته، او ازحقوق اولیه از جمله تماس با خانواده و دسترسی به وکیل محروم بوده است. ما به زندان های مختلف سر زدیم و از قوه قضائیه ایران خواستیم که اگر از ایشان اطلاع دارند به ماخبر بدهند، اما هیچ کس پاسخ گوی ما نبود.
در اوایل صبح روز یکشنبه، 4 نوامبر، بهروز، سنندج را بایک تاکسی ، به مقصد تهران برای رسیدن به پروازش ترک می کند. در حدود 15 کیلومتری خارج از شهر سنندج، لباس شخصیها سوار بردو خودرو، تاکسی را متوقف و او را دستگیر می کنند.
بهروز هیچ گونه فعالیت سیاسی نداشته است و در هیچ گروهی اپوزیسیونی عضویت ندارد. او به سینما علاقه مند است و در چند فیلم من به عنوانه مدیر تولید فعالیت کرده است و چندین فیلم کوتاه نیزساخته است. او هم اکنون ۴۰ سال دارد و شهروند کرد ایرانی اهل سنت است و سال گذشته به کردستان عراق مهاجرت کرده است و در آن جا مدیر یک فروشگاه لوازم بهداشتی است. بهروز و همسرش در کردستان عراق زندگی می کنند و ماه گذشته صاحب یک فرزند پسر به نام هرمانگ شدند.
ما به شدت نگران بهروزهستیم، به ویژه به دلیل مسائل مربوط به سلامتش. او بدلیل تصادفی که چند سال پیش در کردستان، ایران داشته است در هر دو پاهایش پلاتین دارد. او همچنین نیاز به مراقبت و دارو برای مریضی نقرس ، قلب ضعیف، و مشکلات تنفسی دارد. ما از مقامات ایرانی می خوهیم که اورا هر چه سریعترآزاد کنند.

'both legs are platinum'

But it does say that he has heart problems

KDP-Iran published the news in English :

http://pdki.org/english/bahman-ghobadis ... d-in-iran/

Kurdish film maker Bahman Ghobadi’s brother, Behrouz, was arrested on November 4 by Iranian security forces. Fearing for the health of his brother Ghobadi issued a statement that the family has no information about his condition since the arrest. He has asked the Iranian authorities to guarantee his health in detention and to respect his basic rights.

“My younger brother, Behrouz Ghobadi, disappeared more than two weeks ago, and I have learned he has been detained by Iranian authorities and accused of acting against national security. My family and I are certain he is innocent and incapable of such actions. We are extremely concerned about his well-being and ask the Iranian authorities to release him immediately.

We now know that Behrouz was detained by Iran’s Intelligence Ministry. Over the last two weeks he has been denied his basic rights, including contact with his family and access to a lawyer. We have searched for him at several prisons and have asked the Iranian judiciary for news, but no one has told us where he is being held.

In the early morning of Sunday, November 4, Behrouz left Sanandaj, Iran, in a taxi headed for Tehran to catch a flight. We later learned that around 15 kilometers outside Sanandaj, plainclothesmen riding in two cars stopped the cab and arrested him.

Behrouz is not involved in any political or opposition activities. He was interested in film, served as a production manager in some of my movies, and directed a few short films. He is 40 years old and a Sunni Iranian Kurd who moved last year from Iran to Kurdistan, Iraq to run a store that sells shampoo and soap. One month ago, his wife gave birth to their first child, a son, Harmang.

We are extremely worried about Behrouz, especially because of his chronic health issues. He has platinum posts in both of his legs from a car accident several years ago in Kurdistan, Iran. He also requires care and medication for his gout, weak heart, and respiratory problems. We ask that Iranian authorities release him immediately.”
