Parliament and Prisoner Abuse

Scary reports are coming out that hardline members of parliament were actually part of prisoner abuse that took place.

The reformist publication mowjcamp reports that three ultra-hardline members of Parliament may have been involved in the prisoner abuse in Kahrizak prison. Mowjcamp says one MP told them that Hossein Fadaei, a representative from Tehran, was directly involved in interrogations in Kahrizak. Mowj camp also cites several members in the Parliament that there are widespread whispers in the Majlis that MP’s Parwiz Sorouri and Alireza Zakani were also aware of the widespread abuses in Kahrizak.

The three MP’s served with in the Basij or IRGC before becoming Parliament members.

All this while a member of the committee in parliament reviewing accusations of prisoner abuse admits that rape took place:

One of the members of the Special Committee on Reviewing the Conditions of Post-Election Prisoners has admitted that, “Sexual molestation using batons and glass bottles against some of the post-election prisoners has become widespread.”

“Unfortunately, some of the post-election prisoners have suffered by the usage of glass bottles and batons and these incidents have become common for the Special Committee.”

“Though we do not have reliable information or documentation from the agents of this molestation, it does not really make difference at the heart of the matter.”
