Iran: fates

Human Rights Activists in Iran published an interview with one of the detainees of the past months.
The man tells how after his arrest he was mistreated, tortured and threathened.
He was interrogated each day and beaten with batons. He was imprisoned for 58 days in Kahrizakprison.
One day he was told by the interrogator that they had his son in custody and would rape him if he didn’t confess.

When he finally was released, he found out that Kahrizakprison officially closed one week prior.
At that time there were still 70 people in the holding container. They were still holding hundreds of prisoners in Kahrizak at the time.
