Iran: pressure

Since August 1 Mehdi Karroubi is moved to a new, tiny apartment and since July 16 there has been no communication from him, not even with his wife.
A reliable source told International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that he is surrounded by a team of psychiatrists working with his captors to force his mental state into agreeing to appear in front of cameras and make a televised confession.
Karroubi is 74 years old and there is severe concern for his mental and physical health.
