Iran: inhumane behavior

TimesOnline reports an interview about a 15-year-old boy who was severely abused and raped during his detention.
It started mid-July when he was arrested with about 40 other teenagers during an opposition demonstration in a large provincial city and taken to what he believes was a Basiji militia base.
They were blindfolded, stripped to their underwear, whipped with cables and then locked in a steel shipping container.Hisfamily finally secured his release on bail of about £45,000.
An Amnesty International Iran researcher, said that his case was “consistent with other reports they have received in terms of the severity of disregard for human dignity, the unrestricted abuse without any recourse to justice, the involvement even of judicial persons in rape abuse and the denial of the basic right to healthcare”

Saturday an Iranian MP vows to examine allegations that dozens of unidentified people killed in the recent post-election unrest were secretly buried last month.
The site norooznews.org reported Friday that an unnamed employee of the capital's Behesht Zahra cemetery said that 44 unidentified corpses were buried July 12 and 15 amid heavy security.
Iranian officials say that as few as 20 people died, opposition figures say that at least 69 have been killed in Tehran alone and estimate the number of dead nationwide to be in the hundreds.
The government tries to downplay the numbers by pressuring families not to hang mourning banners on their homes and ordering mosques not to allow memorial services.
