Authorities were not immediately available for comment, but state television, in a report on a parliamentary committee investigating claims of prison abuse, has shown people testifying that they were treated properly.
“I am not under pressure. I am satisfied with the conditions provided by the jail authorities,” said a young detainee in Tehran’s Evin prison, where many political prisoners are held.
Expanding on allegations he made Sunday that some arrested protesters, men and women, had been raped at Tehran’s Kahrizak prison, Karoubi said detainees had reported being forced to go naked, with prison guards riding on their backs.
Still others were piled on top of each other, also naked.
“We observe that in an Islamic country some young people are beaten to death just for chanting slogans in (the post- election) protests,” Karoubi’s Etemademelli website said.
