Iran: afterwards

Caspian Makan, fiancé of Neda Agha Soltan, a young woman killed June 20, in the recent protests is imprisoned since June 26 in Evinprison after he made a statement in an interview linking her murder to the pro-government Basij militia.
He told his family that if he signs a "confession" saying that the People's Mojahedeen Organization of Iran (PMOI), killed her, then he may be released.

Amnesty International fears he may be forced to sign such a "confession" under torture and called on the Iranian authorities to take immediate steps to protect Caspian Makan from torture or other ill-treatment while in detention. Also she urges Iranian government to give him immediate access to his lawyer, family and any medical treatment he may need and to release him immediately unless he is to be charged with a recognizable criminal offence.
