Manfred Novak, Human Rights Commission Special Rapporteur on Torture of United Nations says that his office has received 300 complaints of people who were detained and subjected to mistreatment in jails after the election in Iran.
He says that most of the complaints by recent detainees in Iran are connected with assaults, electric shocks and psychological and physical pressures aimed at forcing confessions from the detainees for the showtrial by the revolutionary court in Tehran.
He stressed that judicial forces in any country must not refer to “forced confession extracted under torture”.

A member of the majority group in the parliament identified the authority directly responsible for the Kahrizak detention center. The identity is to remain anonymous.
Hossein Fadaei, representative from Tehran and chairman of the Isargaran (devotees) was responsible for the administration of the detention center in the events following the election.
He said that so far, two cases of confrontations in the detention center that were against human dignity have been documented for the parliament’s special committee; in the first case, those charged with unrest were held in a naked state, and in the other case, they were prevented from using bathroom facilities.
Other investigations are ongoing.
Kahrizak detention center was established a number of years ago under the pretext of holding hooligans and thugs, and in direct violation of the law it was under the supervision of security forces, rather than the supervision of the prison system.
It was turned into a holding place for street protestors.
During a visit by a group of parliament members to Evin Prison and the women’s unit it was asked ‘Who was in Kahrizakprison. A MP who remained anonymous told that a woman told that her in Kahrizak, while she was completely nude, was asked to enter a vat filled with water, then was repeatedly given electric shocks.
The woman then asked the other representatives ‘whether they truly consider themselves Representatives of the Islamic Parliament?’”.
