On Tasoa and Ashura arrested people, 156 names .


The report of the parlementary committee investigating to those responsible for the deads and abuse in Kahrizakprison blames the former prosecutor of Tehran, Saeed Mortazavi,directly for the abuse.
He insisted on sending 147 detainees to the prison in Kahrizak, and “keeping them for four days in a space of 750 square feet, without ventilation in the heat of summer, lack of hygienic standards, food and water, in addition to beating and intimidation by prison guards.”
Three prisoners, Mohsen Ruholamini, Amir Javadifar and Mohammad Kamrani.were killed.
Although the report does not accuse Mortazavi of personally being involved in the abuse, it does say he was aware of the circumstances and as a prosecutor he was responsible.
This is a step while shortly after the events, all abuse was denied by Iran's policecommander.
The reports says that the judiciary needs to deal with those behind the incident with no sympathy or regard to their position .
If and how Mortazavi will be prosecuted, is up to the judiciary.
